KABrother88 Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) LU Faces Demons, Looking for Third-Straight W The Lamar University football team returned from its longest road trip of the season riding a two-game win streak. The Cardinals (2-3/2-1 Southland) will look to make it three wins in a row for the first time since the 1989 season Saturday when it steps on the field against Northwestern State. The Demons (1-4/0-3 SLC) are making their first trip to Beaumont since 2011. The Demons found themselves in similar territory to the Red and White prior to last week. The Cardinals opened the season dropping three straight – all against nationally ranked opponents – but have bounced back by winning their last two contests. Northwestern State opened the season with four consecutive losses before getting in the win column last week against Kentucky Wesleyan. "We have another big game this week," said LU head coach Ray Woodard. "Northwestern State is coming off their first win of the season, and we know how good that felt when we got ours. It made for a good week of practice, and it will be the same for them. Full Article Edited October 13, 2016 by KABrother88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KABrother88 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Milestones at hand for Lamar as they face Northwestern State The Lamar football team has a chance to reach two program milestones today against Northwestern State. The Cardinals haven't beat the Demons or started 3-1 in conference play since the program's return in 2010 and fell 48-35 in Natchitoches a season ago. If Lamar beats Northwestern State, winless in Southland Conference play so far this season, the team will be on its way to knocking out more program milestones. "We've had winning records," Woodard said. "We've beaten Top 25 teams, and we've done some things I'm very proud of, but we want to take that next step and be a contender.

KABrother88 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Another milestone not mentioned is a win would mark the the first 3 game in-season winning streak since the rebirth. Twice before we've had back-to-back wins to close out a season followed by a win in the opener the next season (2010-11 & 2014-15) but never in a single season.

dirtybird Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Craven out with concussion, Oubree back at center. Treadway and the gang will have to step it up a notch. If they do Kade in store for a big night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KABrother88 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Tough loss in Craven but with Oubre having been out, Ward and Mackey have gotten a lot of snaps so we should be just fine there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) Cards haven't been able to stop Northwestern State's running game. Between power running up the middle and cut backs Lamar defense is doing nothing to stop them. Lamar offense that I have seen so far is back to the run Kade up the middle, run Kade outside, incomplete pass and give the ball back.

geezer Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 8:44 left in the first half and Lamar gets on the board with a field goal to get back to a seven point deficit. Can't really tell if the pass game problem is inconsistent throws from Earp or receivers dropping the ball, but LU has to get the pass game going.

geezer Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Lamar gets the ball back on an interception by one of the linebackers with a really good effort and drive down inside the ten yard line with a 4th and one and the ball goes through Earp's hands on the snap and Northwestern St gets it and returns it to about the Lamar 38 yard line. Big mistake. I'm not sold on Earp, thought the Freshman looked decent a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigNasty92 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 This team is NOT prepared to play this week. Unbelievable. Not acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 LU gets a touchdown with 15 seconds left in the first half, but have the extra point blocked. Halftime score Northwestern St 17 - Lamar 9. Harrington has not been back since injuring his ankle at about the 11 minute mark in the 2nd quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 This team is NOT prepared to play this week. Unbelievable. Not acceptable. Although NW State is 1-4 they have a decent defense and can run the ball. You'd think Woodard would know that and prepare the team against an upset. But no, this is a Woodard coached team after all.

geezer Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Northwestern St gets the 2nd half kickoff and goes about 77 yards in three plays to open up a 24-9 lead. Alex Ball got injured in the ACU game I believe. Harrington is out for the remainder of the game. He came out in street clothes with an air cast and crutches.

geezer Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Lamar gets a field goal after a good drive, but mistakes near the goal line cost them a probable touchdown again. Another bad snap, and two illegal procedure penalties. Score NWST 24 - LU 18 with about nine minutes to go.

geezer Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Lamar gives up another 64 yard run to the LU 2 yard line and then gives up the touchdown. NWST 32 - LU 18 with 6:44 to play. LU is going to need a miracle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Lamar's o-line may not be able to protect Earp well enough for him to stay in the pocket and pass, but Earp's footwork is really poor when he is throwing on the roll out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Clock runs out on the kickoff and Lamar wins. Great comeback. Where has the passing game been that Lamar used in the last three minutes of this game? Edited October 16, 2016 by geezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KABrother88 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Pissed off that I left with 4:00 left...but I couldn't take anymore. Great resiliency by the players but we had no business winning that game truly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
