geezer Posted November 3, 2023 Posted November 3, 2023 (edited) Lamar takes on A&M Commerce Saturday at 3 PM. By records this should be a Lamar win as Commerce lost to both HCU and UIW, but they have played a stiff schedule and although I think Lamar is much improved, Lamar will still need to play well. As with every game winning the line of scrimmage is key, both ways. Losses to three top fifteen teams and an FBS school aren't enough to continue to receive votes in the rankings.

TexGator Posted November 3, 2023 Posted November 3, 2023 If we want to have a chance at the postseason, we have to win all 3 remaining RS games. But, yes, according to the transitive property, this SHOULD be a win but there's no margin for error the rest of the season. Beat A&M-Commerce this week and then worry about the big test of Nicholls after that. Quote
lamarfan360 Posted November 3, 2023 Posted November 3, 2023 It is 6:30pm November 3rd and Lamar still does not have a write up for the game tomorrow! I just do not understand Quote
geezer Posted November 4, 2023 Author Posted November 4, 2023 It is 6:30pm November 3rd and Lamar still does not have a write up for the game tomorrow! I just do not understand Only reason I can think of is that the person responsible for the pregame write up is traveling with the soccer team, but if that's the case it is still poor planning. Quote

No, Kenneth Cline writes for the soccer program. I am kind of concerned about James Dixon. He normally has something written about the games by now. Quote
PeckEm Posted November 4, 2023 Posted November 4, 2023 This is going to be a tough game. We better be ready to play. Quote
geezer Posted November 4, 2023 Author Posted November 4, 2023 Lamar offensive line just isn't good enough. Can't consistently run block or pass block. Play calling isn't helping either as if you know the line doesn't measure up you have to do something different. Quote
geezer Posted November 4, 2023 Author Posted November 4, 2023 Lamar special teams and defense steps up big for Lamar recovering a muffed punt by Commerce near midfield, and after the offense does nothing punts the ball downing it at the three yard line, and then the defense creates a fumble and recovery for a touchdown to give Lamar the lead with 2:32 left in the first quarter. Quote
geezer Posted November 4, 2023 Author Posted November 4, 2023 Commerce responds with a sustained drive aided by a Lamar pass interference penalty to tie the game with 12:30 left in the half. Quote
geezer Posted November 4, 2023 Author Posted November 4, 2023 Lamar has a kickoff return that goes the distance, called back for a holding penalty but then the offense capitalizes on a third down pass and then a 52 yard run from Griffin to go back up by seven, 14-7. Quote
geezer Posted November 4, 2023 Author Posted November 4, 2023 Lamar recovers another Commerce muffed punt reception and score on a pass to Jones on the first play to extend the lead to 21-7 with 1:52 left in the first half. Quote
