geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Both teams go three and out on their first possessions. Lamar goes 66 yards in seven plays for it's first touchdown of the season and in the Coach Morgan era. Lamar up 7-0 with 9:17 left in the first quarter. Quote
geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 UIW responds with a seventy five yard three play drive including a 66 yard run on third and one for a touchdown. Game tied with 8:22 left in the first quarter. Quote
geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 UIW gets an interception at the Lamar 30 yard line. Lamar returned the favor with an interception at their own 21. Quote
geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 UIW goes 78 yards on their fourth possession for a second touchdown. Lamar defensive line isn't getting the job done. Quote
geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 End of the first quarter and UIW is up 14-7 over LU. Quote
geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Lamar responds to the second UIW score with a 10 play 75 yard drive of their own to tie the game with 11:48 left in the first half. Quote
geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Giffen hits a 48 yard field goal with 3:03 left in the first half to give Lamar a 17 -14 lead. Quote
geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 UIW responds with another quick drive to retake the lead with a touchdown at the 1:14 mark of the first half. Quote
geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Lamar unable to make anything happen on their last possession of the first half and forced to punt. UIW keeps the ball on the ground but makes some pretty good gains before the half ends. UIW 21 - Lamar 17 Quote
geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Lamar offense looks much better than last week. So far this as an entertaining game. From my point of view Lamar defense is struggling. As mentioned earlier the D-line hasn't taken control of the line of scrimmage. Pass coverage is adequate but not good enough yet. Lamar is having to blitz to get pressure on the UIW quarterback. Without pressure he is capable of picking the pass defense apart. Quote
geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 UIW opens the second half with a solid drive ending with a touchdown at 11:07 left in the third quarter. Quote
geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Lamar closes the gap with another Giffen field goal with 4:27 left in the third quarter. UIW 28 - Lamar 20 Quote
geezer Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Lamar defense not able to slowdown UIW offense. UIW gets another touchdown to extend the lead to 35_20. Quote
lamarfan360 Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 The team is playing a heck of a lot better than last week. Quote
geezer Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 Fourth quarter highlights so far. Lamar picks off a UIW pass deep in Lamar territory but then Lamar fumbles the ball back to UIW. UIW moves the ball in for another touchdown for a 42-20 lead. Quote
geezer Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 We will have to see what McNeese does this evening, but based on the common opponent and results Lamar should be able to compete next week. UIW defeated McNeese 48 - 20 last week. Quote
puddin tane Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 Well, went better than I expected. my takeaways- -LU is scrappy. Young and little -we coulda woulda shoulda had 2 more tds, ( but then, uiw woulda had 2 more cuz we couldnt stop em) -ward is very good rb UIW, very good offense, no defense our kicker is damn good we got some kids on d that will light you up, the problem is being anywhere near the ball carrier. now, the offense (which I hate )..twice on their 30. (3rd and 10, 3rd and 7)..we run a f-ing option.Settle for field goals. .very Schultz like. Quote

We played almost a penalty free game and had mostly underclassmen on the field for most of the game. Was a bit disappointed in our apparent lack of team speed especially at the receiver position. UIW did not respect our passing game and played us man-to-man most of the game, which makes Chaz Wards performance even more impressive. That said it is easier for offensive linemen to run block versus pass blocking. Just hoping to see more improvement from week 2 to week 3. Quote

puddin tane Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 54 rushing plays and 21 passing? They better hand out free Red Bull 6 of those passes were on the last drive dummett dropped back to pass a few more times, but he took off running Quote
Skinny1 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 McNeese got beat, but they played a sloppy game with 4 turnovers. Their stats were similar to Lamar. Quote
