Cards take on Nicholls tomorrow at 3 PM in their final home game of the season.  A win will place Lamar with a fourth-place finish in their own control and a shot at tie for third place depending on SFA's finish.  A loss may push Lamar down to as far as eighth.

Cards score first on a sixty-yard punt return in the first quarter, then get a field goal to take a 10-0 lead before a penalty on fourth down kept a Nicholls drive going and then on another fourth down the Nicholls punter fumbled the snap then picked it up and ran for a first down.  That play led to a touchdown with a little over a minute and a half left in the half to close the gap to three points.

Lamar goes sixty-six yards on their second possession of the second half ending in a touchdown pass from Coleman to Griffin.  Fusilier had two big receptions on the drive.  Cards up 17-7 with 5:55 left in the third quarter.

With 6:27 left in the game Coleman connects with Gibbs for a touchdown and a 24-7 lead.

A victory today puts us with the same record as last year. Need to win in Lake Chuck to make marginal improvement. 

Lamar wins 24-7.  Next week Lamar will finish up at McNeese in a game with a lot to play for.  The Cards are 6-5 overall and 3-3 in conference, so a winning record is still achievable and a tie for third place is possible.  Ironically McNeese sits with the same record so they have a lot to play for also and it is a rivalry game on top of that.  Game time next week is listed as 7 PM.

Well, that was definitely a great way to win a game.
Now, let's build off that and push for the 2025 playoffs.
