2024 Football versus UIW

[geezer]

Lamar plays at UIW Saturday at 2 PM.  Do the Cards have a chance to pull an upset?

[geezer]

Lamar scores with a touchdown pass with 6:08 left in the first quarter to take a 7-3 lead.  Something weird today, Lamar has only run the ball twice and Coleman has only missed one pass attempt.

[geezer]

UIW responds with a three play seventy-five-yard touchdown drive.  Lamar fumbles the kickoff return but then holds UIW without a score.

[geezer]

Lamar starts a decent drive but fumbles again at the UIW 47 yard line.  We'll see if the defense can hold again.

[geezer]

Lamar defense creates a fumble for UIW with just under two minutes left in the half at the UIW 14-yard line.  Lamar converts the turnover into a touchdown with 52 seconds left in the half to draw within four points as the fail to convert the extra point Score 17-13 UIW on top.

[geezer]

UIW makes a good last minute drive to get a field goal as time runs out in the half to take a 20-13 lead into the half.  UIW will have the ball to start the second half.

[geezer]

Lamar commits another turnover in the second half and the Lamar offense can't keep up with UIW.  Final score UIW 40 - Lamar 20.  Didn't help that Coleman got hurt.  Lamar had more passing attempts than rushing plays.  Two games remaining this year.

We threw it a whopping 3 times more than we ran it.  They were keying on the run yet we still tried to run it 29 times…averaging a whopping 2.5 yards a carry!   And our running plays are so predictable.  Frustrating.  (Our defense stunk too…602 yards allowed??!!??  Uggggghhhh).
