Demons hit a 78-yard pass with 9:15 left in the game to close the gap to 34-14. Lamar defender fell down just as the pass arrived. Cards pass defense needs to improve.
-
End of the third quarter with Lamar up 24-7.
-
First half stats for Lamar 123 yards passing and 136 yards rushing. NWST stats 172 yards passing and -21 yards rushing.
-
Cards engineer a successful 10 play 87-yard drive for a touchdown pass to Fusilier with 21 seconds left in the half to extend the lead to 17-7.
-
Lamar responds with a quick drive to retake the lead on a Xavier Coleman thirty-five-yard run. 11:26 left in the first half. Hopefully the Cards are awake now and will kick butt now. Lamar up 10-7.
-
Disappointing since that first possession. Lamar has two three and outs and the defense has some errors allowing NWST to score a touchdown to take the lead at the start of the second quarter. 7-3.
-
Cards stop NWST on their first possession then move down the field to get stopped by a penalty and a sack. Kick a field goal for the early 3-0 lead. Coleman started at QB, don't know if McCown is available or not.
-
Game note: Latest article on the university website indicates that the game time is moved up to 2 PM due to weather threats.
-
I like the mix of transfers and freshman along with the red shirts this year. Recruiting appears to have kept the average height similar to last year, but one of the big men needs to step up to fill in for Hamilton's presence inside. I'm not worried about the scoring that was lost.
-
One other thing, the SLC has to play and defeat both Big Sky and Missouri Valley Football Conference teams in the future.
-
Lamar needs to win period, but Lamar might have a chance at 9-3 depending on who the losses are to. South Dakota currently is in fourth place in their conference, and I am pretty sure if the stay in that spot they will get an invite and since Lamar defeated them it will be a lot of disrespect to both Lamar and the conference if they got in and Lamar didn't with the same records.
-
Let's hope they live up to the early hype.
-
Agreed, but with a caveat that four of the five wins are against teams with a worse conference record than the Cards. Still believe the coach is making progress and should be rewarded.
-
ETAM defeated UIW 52-45 in San Antonio. UIW isn't what they have been the past few years, but they are still dangerous. Next up for Lamar is Northwestern St. NWST looks to be the worst team in the conference, but Lamar hasn't had much success at their place since restarting the program.
-
Glad I wasn't able to watch the second half.
-
Woodard closes out the half with a 52-yard field goal for a 20-7 halftime lead. McCown has 186 yards passing to go with rushing attack for 97 yards.
-
RGV answers the last Lamar touchdown with a nice drive and a touchdown of their own with two minutes left in the half to narrow the gap to 17-7.
-
Cards defense continues to stop RGV and the offense continues to move the ball well getting another passing touchdown from McCown to Fusilier to extend the lead further to17-0 with 7:01 left in the half.
-
Lamar settles for a field goal after moving the ball 71 yards with 13:26 left in the 2nd quarter to extend the lead to 10-0.
-
Lamar opens the game focusing on the running game early and after exchanging possessions, on their second possession, the Cards get a couple of first downs then complete a fifty-eight-yard pass to Thomas to open the scoring 7-0 with 7:02 left in the first quarter.
-
Interesting, seven of the eleven opponents in 1985 are FBS today.
-
This week's game slate should give a pretty good idea of what remains. SLU hosts Northwestern St which should be a fairly easy win for them, SFA hosts Nicholls which should give a comparison between Lamar and SFA and ETAM is at UIW who are looking to rebound from an overall disappointing start.
-
I believe ESPN is correct as ETAM tried a couple of laterals on the final kickoff and Hamric intercepted one and returned it to the end zone. The live stats didn't update it, so I chose not to include it in the post. It only changed the final score, not the outcome. Lamar returns home next week to take on UTRGV.
-
Cards get a big break as ETAM gets called for a leverage penalty on Lamar's game tying field goal attempt with 12 seconds on the clock. The call allows the Cards to take the FG off the board and Fuselier catches the go-ahead touchdown with three seconds on the clock. Lamar scored an earlier touchdown with about nine minutes left in the game to get to within three points. Lamar wins 27-23.
-
I don't think there are any conference rules about game times. There have been several six and seven PM conference games this season. I don't know why Lamar wants afternoon home games. It's hard enough to get fans to home games, why compete with the big boy's afternoon games. There are at least a few that might come to Lamar game after Texas or A&M is over and it's not quite as hot.
