LU vs. the Cardinals
~Ineligible for SLC title, postseason
Fans of the Red and White will have one final time to see the Class of 2016 play at Provost Umphrey Stadium. The Cardinals game against Incarnate Word will serve as senior night. Prior to kick off, the Cardinals will honors their 19 seniors. The class consists of Michael Handy, Kade Harrington, Carson Earp, Brendan Langley, Mike Hargis, Kevin Greif, Xavier Bethany, Juan Carranco, Eddie McGill, Alex Ball, William Wowkanyn, Matt Johnson, Bret Treadway, Omar Tebo, Dante Cattaneo, DeAndre Jennings, Brannon Beaton, Koby Couron and Larry Carroll. This class produced numerous All-Southland Conference selections, two All-Americans and the program’s first Walter Payton Award finalist (FCS football’s version of the Heisman Trophy) and its first Southland Conference Player of the Year. The Class of 2016 played an integral role in helping the Cardinals tie a school-record for wins (as a four-year institution) during the 2014 season.
The Cardinals are a perfect 3-0 all-time against Incarnate Word with all three meetings coming since the return of football in Beaumont. The first meeting came during the 2011 season when the Red and White posted a 45-35 decision. The other two victories have come in the past two seasons, including last year’s seven-point decision in San Antonio. The Cardinals are a perfect 2-0 all-time in Provost Umphrey Stadium.
Home Sweet Home
The Cardinals have made Provost Umphrey Stadium a very tough place to play over the course of the past three seasons. LU is 13-10 (.565) at home during that stretch with seven of the 10 setbacks coming against nationally ranked opponents. Since the program’s return, Big Red is 23-17 (.575) in front of their home fans.

LU in November
The Cardinals are 53-80-3 (.401) all-time in the month of November dating back to the 1955 season. LU is 0-1 in the month this season.
This Date in History
The Cardinals are 4-3 (.571) all-time in games played on Nov. 12 dating back to the 1955 season. Saturday’s contest is the first time the Red and White has stepped on the field for a Nov. 12th game since the 2011 season when it recorded a 34-26 victory at Nicholls.
Quarterback Carousel
The Cardinals started their third quarterback in as many games last Thursday due to injuries. True freshman Adam Morse came into to replace classmate Case Robinson (who replaced the injured Andrew Allen) in the Homecoming game against Houston Baptist. Morse, who was being redshirted prior to coming in against HBU, completed 19-of-37 (.514) passes for 255 yards and one touchdown at Nicholls. Both Morse and Robinson burned their redshirts against the Huskies.
Losing Time
Thursday’s game at Nicholls marked the second-straight time LU has not won the time of possession battle. Prior to that, Big Red had dominated time of possession against the three previous opponents holding the ball nearly 25 minutes longer.
Trouble with the Exchange
The Cardinals struggled with the center-quarterback exchange against Nicholls. LU had five faulty snaps that led to 50 yards in losses, including two on consecutive plays. The Cardinals recovered a fumble and moved the ball down to the Nicholls five yard line, but consecutive bad snaps forced LU to punt the ball away on 4th-and-goal from the 41.
For Just the Second Time Ever
Thibodaux, La., has been like a home away from home historically for the Cardinals but it didn’t work out that way Thursday night. For just the second time in program history, and the first time since the 1983 season, LU left Thibodaux without a victory. The other setback was a 21-14 decision during the 1983 season. 2016 Preseason Southland Conference Polls

Sophomore Davon Jernigan recorded two of the biggest plays for the Cardinals defense Thursday night. Despite finishing the game with just two tackles, he picked off his first pass of the season and recovered a fumble which he returned 25 yards down to the Nicholls five yard line.
Not Helping Out
The Cardinals have made a habit of not helping make things easier on their oppoenents this season. LU is ranked second in the league in penalties against and leads the Southland averaging just 42.6 yards in penalties per game. The Cards have only been flagged 52 times in 2016. Big Red is just one of only two schools to average fewer than 60 yards in penalties per game this season.
Defending the Sky
Senior defensive back Brendan Langley’s streak of four consecutive games with at least one interception came to an end at Central Arkansas. Despite not coming up with a pick in the past two games, the Marietta, Ga. native, is still among the national leaders. Langley is tied with Wesley Beans (Marist) and Dante’ Blackmon (Kennesaw State) four third nationally (0.7 pg).
Pursuing History
Senior Brendan Langley is looking to write his name in the Lamar University record books, and give Cardinals’ fans something they haven’t seen in 55 years. Langley needs only one more interception to tie the LU single-season record of seven. The record was originally set by Jake David in 1965. Of the Cardinals final three opponents, only one (McNeese) currently ranks among the Southland’s top three in pass offense and pass attempts.
Like a Thief in the Night
The Cardinals have combined to record 12 interceptions during the 2016 season. That is two more picks than the Cardinals had all of last season, with two regular-season games remaining.
Top of the Class
Seniors Brendan Langley and Xavier Bethany are currently rank first and third, respectively, in the Southland Conference in interceptions. Langley leads the Southland (and is third nationally) averaging just under one interception per game (0.7 pg). He has six total picks on the season. Bethany is tied for third averaging 0.33 (three total interceptions) interceptions per game.
No Fly Zone
The Cardinals continue to have the Southland’s best pass defense. Big Red is the only team in the Southland surrendering fewer than 200 pass yards per game (161.8 pg).
Daunting Task
The Cardinals have faced one of the nation’s toughest schedules in 2016. Each of LU’s first three opponents were ranked in the top 25. Coastal Carolina entered the season ranked 16th according to the STATS FCS Top 25 poll, while Sam Houston State was third nationally. The Red and White traveled to Houston in the second week of the season to take on the sixth-ranked Houston Cougars. Central Arkansas was ranked 20th when LU made the trip to Conway. Four of the Cardinals six setbacks have come to nationally ranked opponents this season.

Lamar Football Game Notes Ray Woodard
Head Coach 34-44/Seventh Season
Ray Woodard has been at the helm of the Lamar University football program since its resurrection seven years ago -- a program that has seen incredible growth under Woodard’s direction. Since an impressive five-win campaign in its first season back, Cardinals’ fans have been witness to the consistent growth of the program -- a growth that has come at an accelerated rate in recent years. As if trying to make a statement in the 2013 season opener, the Cardinals set nine school records in the game -- which would be just a sample of things to come. LU set or tied nearly 50 team and individual records in 2013 and had three players receive All-America honors. In addition to the three All-Americans, Lamar also had a record 10 players named to the All-Southland Conference team, including three first-team selections. Running back Kade Harrington was named Southland Freshman of the Year, while senior defensive end Jesse Dickson was named league defensive player of the year by College Sports Madness. Woodard’s young charges continued the record-setting pace in 2014, which was capped by Lamar tying a school record for wins as a four-year program. Adding to the excitement of the eight-win season, LU picked up the record-setting victory at rival McNeese State on a field goal with seconds remaining. The win was Lamar’s first against McNeese and against a nationally ranked opponent since the sport’s return to Beaumont. For an encore, the Cardinals recorded one of their biggest wins in program history with an upset at No. 3 Sam Houston State the following season, and junior running back Kade Harrington became the first player in program history to be named Southland Player of the Year. Harrington ended the season by being named runner-up in the balloting for the STATS FCS National Offensive Player of the Year award – FCS football’s version of the Heisman Trophy. All told, Woodard has produced 43 All-SLC selections, including nine first-team players, 10 All-Americans -- including one Freshman All-American -- one CFPA National Punter Returner of the Year, one SLC Player of the Year, one league newcomer of the year, one conference freshman of the year and an SLC Student-Athlete of the Year. Lamar made its historic return to the gridiron in 2010. Not only did the Cardinals take the field for the first time since 1989, but they turned a lot of heads with their immediate success. In their very first game - at McNeese - Lamar set a school record with 429 passing yards. McNeese was ranked 11th in the nation when the Cardinals put a scare into the Cowboys before falling 30-27. A week later, playing its home opener in front of 16,600 red clad fans, LU earned its first victory in over two decades by a 21-14 margin over Webber International. Woodard was named the eighth football coach at LU by president Dr. James Simmons and then athletics director Billy Tubbs on May 19, 2008. He came to Beaumont after serving three seasons at Navarro College - the first two as defensive coordinator and the final as head coach. His 2007 squad went 9-3 and advanced to the conference playoffs for the first time in six seasons. Woodard spent three years as the defensive coordinator for the Scottish Claymores from 2000-03 during his second stint with an NFL Europe franchise. Woodard’s other professional coaching experience came as the general manager/head coach for the Houston Outlaws (1999-2000) of the Regional Football League, defensive coordinator of the NFL Europe’s Frankfurt Galaxy (1996-97) and the Texas Terror (1996) of the Arena Football League. Woodard’s first experience at the NCAA level came in 1998 when

he was the defensive line coach at Louisiana-Lafayette. From 1988-95 Woodard was the defensive coordinator at Kilgore College and recruited more than 200 Texas high school student-athletes. The Rangers appeared in back-to-back Shrine Bowls in 1989 and 1990. Kilgore had a 9-2 record in 1990, won the conference championship and was ranked as high as No. 6 in the country. Woodard also had a successful playing career, from his days at Corrigan-Camden HS to Kilgore College and the University of Texas to five years in the NFL. After earning 13 letters in four sports at Corrigan-Camden from 1975-79, he walked on at Kilgore College then went on to become a two-time All-America selection as a defensive tackle from 1980-81. Woodard then finished his college career at Texas under coach Fred Akers. Woodard and the Longhorns posted a perfect 11-0 regular-season mark, captured the Southwest Conference championship and finished the season ranked fifth in the nation. Woodard was selected in the eighth round of the 1984 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. He spent the next five seasons with the Chargers, Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs. Woodard received his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and history from Sam Houston State in 1988 and his master’s in education from the University of Texas at Tyler in 1991. Woodard received his Doctorate in Educational Leadership last October. Woodard and the former Penne Striedel have been married since March, 1982. The couple has one daughter, Jessica, who was married in April 2010, to Eric Martin. Woodard and his wife also became proud grandparents on April 23, 2012, as Trey DeSoto Martin was welcomed into the world.

HOUSTON, Texas – The Lamar University Cardinals had no answer for the nation’s sixth-ranked team as Houston (2-0) jumped out to a 28-0 first-half lead and never looked back. The Cougars defeated LU, 42-0, Saturday afternoon at TDECU Stadium in a game that was delayed more than three hours due to lighting. It was the first time the Cardinals have failed to score since the 2012 regular-season finale. The Cougars finished the game with 511 yards of total offense, while holding LU to 73. The majority of Houston’s damage came on the ground as the Cougars rushed for 381 yards and had three players with more than 100 yards rushing. Senior running back Kade Harrington was held to 23 yards rushing against one of the nation’s top rush defenses. Junior quarterback Andrew Allen came on in relief and was effective in the second half completing 6-of-9 (.667) passes for 44 yards. The Cougars struck first when Kyle Potsma scored from 39 yards out on the fourth play of drive with 12 minutes remaining in the opening quarter. After forcing a three-and-out, the Cougars got the ball back and appeared to be on the march for another score following a 38-yard rush by UH’s Mulbah Car down to the Cardinals 17 yard line. Big Red’s defense went to work after the run forcing Houston to attempt a 31-yard field goal which ricocheted off the right upright. It was a similar story on the Cougars next possession. Houston took over from their own 49-yard line and moved the ball down to the LU three before the Cardinals defense held on downs. It was one of four trips inside the LU 20 where UH came away empty handed. Following the defensive stand, Mother Nature took control of the game forcing a three-hour and 12-minute rain delay. The Cougars took advantage coming out after the delay scoring their second touchdown on a four-play, 36-yard drive that lasted 53 seconds. Car gave Houston a 20-0 advantage midway through the second quarter when he capped a 13-play, 91-yard drive with a two-yard run through the right side of the line. The drive consumed 4:36 off the clock. The Cougars tacked on two more scores to push their advantage to 28-0 and got the ball back with less than 90 seconds remaining in the half looking for more. Houston moved the ball into Cardinals’ territory before senior Xavier Bethany picked off the pass to thwart the drive and end the half. The Cardinals were held to 56 yards of total offense in the opening half, while the Cougars finished with 321 – 228 yards on the ground. Houston held the ball 3:58 longer that LU in the opening half. Due to the lightning delay in the first quarter, both teams agreed to a five-minute halftime but it didn’t effect the Houston offense. The Cougars scored on their first drive of the half when Postma crossed the goal line on a quarterback keeper from five yards out. The play capped a seven-play, 40-yard drive and gave UH a 35-0 lead. After recording their second goal line stand of the game, the Cardinals gave the ball right back fumbling it away on their own 23. Houston responded with a Josh Burrell – son of 1992 U.S. Olympian Leroy Burrell – touchdown 68 seconds later for the final points of the game.
BEAUMONT, Texas – After being held to only three points in the opening half, the 16th-ranked Coastal Carolina Chanticleers scored 35 unanswered in the second half to pull away from the upset-minded Lamar University Cardinals Saturday night at Provost Umphrey Stadium. The Chanticleers recorded a 38-14 decision to spoil Big Red’s season opener. The loss ended a string of three-straight season opening wins for the Cards. Senior running back Kade Harrington seemed to pick up where he left off last season as he carried the ball 28 times for 207 yards and two touchdowns. The Cardinals (0-1) ended the night with 391 yards of total offense, while Coastal had 407. In a battle of preseason player of the year candidates, Harrington outshined the Chanticleers (1-0) De’Angelo Henderson who ended the night with 28 carries for 158 yards and two scores. Henderson continued his NCAA Division I streak of 27-straight games with a touchdown carry. The first half was a much different story as the Cardinals stormed out to an 11-point advantage. LU’s defense kept Coastal off balance forcing the visitors to punt the ball away four times in the opening 30 minutes, and took advantage of two missed field goals. Trailing by three points early, the Cardinals took their first lead of the game when Harrington closed out the opening quarter with a 59-yard run. Harrington’s touchdown scamper came on the second play of the drive. The second quarter remained a defensive struggle until the 2:38 mark when the Cardinals again turned to Harrington who scampered 64 yards for a score - again, on the second play of the drive. The Cards took a 14-3 advantage into the locker room but the momentum turned less than five minutes into the third quarter. Big Red appeared to be driving for another score when Carson Earp’s pass was intercepted at the CCU 29 yard line by the Chanticleers’ Richie Sampson and returned 71 yards for the touchdown. Coastal converted on the two-point conversion to pull within three-points, 14-11. After forcing a three-and-out on the next series, the Chanticleers were able to reclaim the lead. Coastal used a 31-yard Chris Jones punt return to set up their second touchdown of the half.

The Cardinals posted their best defensive effort of the season to snap a three-game slide to start the year. Langley led a defensive effort that surrendered a season best 14 points to the Lions and 356 yards of total offense. The Cards (1-3/1-1 SLC) finished the night with two players recording double-digit tackles – senior Xavier Bethany (13) and Chaston Brooks (11). While Big Red’s defense kept Southeastern Louisiana off balance, the LU offense methodically began to take control of the game. The Cardinals finished the night with 398 yards of total offense, including 268 yards on the ground. Senior running back Kade Harrington recorded the 16th 100-yard rushing game of his career carrying the ball 23 times for 143 yards and a score against the Lions. All five of LU’s touchdowns came on the ground Saturday as senior Carson Earp – who got the start at quarterback – carried the ball 11 times for 79 yards and two scores. Earp also completed 9-of-15 passes for 130 yards. Beaumont Freshman Kendrick King and junior Andrew Allen also rushed a score. King scored the game’s opening touchdown when he carried the ball in from six yards out. His score capped a seven-play, 80-yard drive with 3:33 remaining in the opening quarter. LU’s defense got the ball back 65 seconds later after forcing a three-and-out and a blocked punt from sophomore Zae Giles. After an incomplete pass, Earp called his own number and carried the ball in from 17 yards out for the score. The Cardinals took their 14-point advantage into halftime, and pulled away in the second half to pick up their first win of the season. LU was able to pull away due to Langley’s two second-half interceptions which came on consecutive possesions and set up LU scores. Langley’s three picks equaled a record only seen two other times in program history. Langley tied former Cardinals Donald Rawls (1983 vs. Louisiana Tech) and Pat Gibbs (1971 vs. Arkansas State).

The Bearkats (2-0/1-0 Southland) jumped out to a 30-3 first-half lead and held on in the fourth quarter to hand LU its third consecutive loss to start the season. Sam Houston State racked up nearly 600 yards of total offense (598), including 270 on the ground. The Cards recorded 325 of their 405 yards in the second half. LU finished the night with 227 yards on the ground. The Bearkat defense made preseason All-America Kade Harrington the center of their focus Saturday holding the Kingwood, Texas native to 76 yards on 25 carries. On the flip side, SHSU had three backs rush for at least 50 yards in the contest, led by Corey Avery who finished the night with 136 yards and a score on 17 carries. The Bearkats got the first score of the game less than 90 seconds into the contest as Avery capped a five-play, 75-yard drive with a nine-yard touchdown run. SHSU held the 7-0 advantage for the next nine minutes until LU mounted a scoring drive of its own. The Cards had an 18-play, 54yard drive that stalled on the Kats’ 27 yard line. Senior Alex Ball came in and booted a 44-yard field goal to put Big Red on the scoreboard, but that would be LU’s only points of the half. SHSU answered with their second touchdown of the game less than two minutes later. The Bearkats tacked on two more points when LU was called for intentional grounding in the end zone. Leading by 13 with less than five minutes remaining the half, the Bearkats’ closed out the opening stanza with two more scores. It was a different story in the second half. LU started the half with a 79-second drive that ended with Andrew Allen connecting with Zae Giles from 56 yards out. The score didn’t change for the next 10 minutes until SHSU was able to answer back. LU answered with a fake field goal that resulted in a TD cutting the deficit to 20 points. Big Red was able to pull within 13 but could get no closer against the nation’s third-ranked team. Allen finished the game 19-of-36 for 178 yards and two touchdowns, while Briscoe was 24of-35 for 328 yards and three scores for the Kats. He was also picked off twice in the contest. Allen’s favorite target was Giles who hauled in a career-high seven passes for 93 yards and a score.

The Cardinals (2-3/2-1 Southland) continued their dominance over ACU in Abilene improving to 7-2 all-time on the road in the series. It marked the first time LU had recorded back-to-back wins since the final two games of 2014. The Cards racked up 520 yards of total offense, including 309 on the ground. Senior Kade Harrington finished the night with the 17th 100-yard rushing game of his career. The Kingwood, Texas native carried the ball 23 times for 145 yards and a touchdown. He also hauled in two passes for 89 yards. Big Red held the Wildcats (0-6/0-4 SLC) to 306 of total offense. The Cardinals also held the football 16 minutes longer than ACU. Senior Carson Earp was once again effective at quarterback. The Robinson, Texas native completed 16 of 19 passes (.842) for 211 yards and a touchdown. The Wildcats took the opening drive and moved the ball deep into Cardinals territory before the drive stalled out. ACU had the ball down inside the Cardinals’ 20, but a fumble halted the drive forcing ACU to send on its field goal unit. Nik Grau converted a 22-yard field goal to put the Wildcats on the scoreboard. Grau’s drive-saving kick would be the team’s only score of the half. LU appeared to be driving for a score of its own midway through the quarter but LU’s drive stalled and senior Alex Ball came on to attempt a 47-yard field goal. The Wildcats, however, dodged a bullet by blocking the kick. The Cardinals defense didn’t allow ACU to gain any further momentum after the play as they kept their hosts off the scoreboard until the offense could get going. Big Red took its first lead of the game early in the second quarter when they capped a nine-play, 81-yard drive with a 38-yard run around the right side from sophomore Zae Giles. The Cardinals were back on the attack after the defense forced the Wildcats to the punt the ball away on its next possession. The Cards once again used a time-consuming drive moving the ball down to the ACU fouryard line to set up a 22-yard field goal attempt from Ball, which he booted through the uprights. The Cardinals tacked on their final score of the half with less than a minute remaining. Earp found Giles in the back of the end zone from six yards out to give the Red and White a 17-3 lead heading into the locker room. The Cardinals jumped on ACU for two quick scores in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. In what is becoming a common sight for LU fans, the Cardinals first score of the second half was set up by a Brendan Langley interception - the third consecutive game Langley has picked off a pass.Abilene Christian could only mount one scoring drive in the second half.

Trailing by as many as 13 points with less than two minutes remaining LU scored two touchdowns in the final 1:43 of the contest to record the victory. The victory was the program’s first over Northwestern State (1-5/0-4 SLC) since bringing back the sport. It is also the first time the Cardinals have won three consecutive games since the 1989 season. Although only holding the lead for the final six seconds of the contest, the Cardinals outgained Northwestern State, 561 to 410. The Demons were only able to inflict damage on the ground as the LU defense held Northwestern State to 20 passing yards. Sophomore Cameron Hampton led the Cards’ defense with 16 tackles, while senior defensive back Brendan Langley picked off a pass for the fourth consecutive game – his sixth of the season. Earp completed 29 passes for a career-high 412 yards and four touchdowns, and carried the ball six times for 63 yards. After not having a receiver record 100 receiving yards in a game this season, the Red and White finished Saturday’s game with two, Zae Giles and DeWan Thompson. Giles hauled in 10 receptions for 118 yards, while Thompson had four catches for 139 yards and two scores. The situation was bleak early as the Demons raced out to a 17-3 lead and held that advantage for nearly the whole first half. LU got the ball back with 3:02 remaining looking to take back some of the momentum heading into the locker room. Earp orchestrated a 14-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 10-yard pass to senior Michael Handy for his first touchdown grab of the season, but the point after was blocked leaving the Cards with an eight-point deficit heading into halftime. The Cards got the ball with 2:50 on the clock trailing by 13, and that is when Earp put together one of the best comebacks in program history. For the Cardinals it was their first victory over Northwestern State since the 1979 season, which was also the last time LU defeated the Demons in Beaumont.

The loss snapped LU’s (3-4/3-2 Southland) three-game win streak. The Cards were never able to find their rhythm offensively recording 220 yards of total offense. The Bears finished the night with 330 yards total offense. LU’s defense was led by Davon Jernigan who recorded a game-high 13 tackles, including 10 solo stops. Junior Andrew Allen came on in relief of starter Carson Earp and finished the night completing 17-of-37 passes for 151 yards.. LU scored on the opening drive after DeWan Thompson hauled in a 15-yard reception over the middle on 3rd-and-9 to keep the drive alive. That catch led to a 30-yard field goal to give the Cards a 3-0 advantage. It was the Bears specials teams that came to the aid of its offense in the opening half. After a 58-yard punt from senior Juan Carranco, the Bears Tremon Smith set up the game’s first touchdown with a 65-yard punt return. Three plays later UCA was in the end zone on a seven-yard run from Keshawn Ledet. The Bears tacked on a 19-yard field goal six minutes later to take a 10-3 advantage. It was a special team’s miscue that led to Big Red’s next score. After forcing LU to punt the ball away from deep in its own territory, Central Arkansas had the opportunity to get the ball back in good field position but the punt was fumbled away. The Cardinals recovered the ball and moved it down to the UCA 19 to set up Carranco’s second field goal of the game to pull LU within four, 10-6, heading into the locker room. Although the Bears finished the half with more yards of total offense, 157-103, Big Red held the advantage on time of possession. The Cardinals held the ball for more than 17 minutes in first half, while UCA had it for 12:43. The Bears opened the second half on a 9-0 run to take a 19-6 advantage. After the Cardinals defense came up with a stop, UCA punted the ball away which was downed at the LU one-yard line. The punt would turn out to be huge as freshman Austin Krautz would be dropped in the end zone two plays later to give UCA a 12-6 lead. After kicking the ball away, the Bears mounted a four-play, 56-yard drive that ended with a 20-yard pass reception to Kelton Warren. Trailing 22-6, the Cardinals got the ball back midway through the fourth quarter. The Red and White got the ball in UCA territory after a penalty on a short kick. With the aid of a couple of penalties, the Cards moved the ball inside the five-yard line where Allen called his own number from two yards out. LU went for two but came up short trailing the Bears by 10, 22-12. The Cardinals got the ball back only one other time and could come no closer.

The Huskies scored the first 17 points of the second half to build an insurmountable lead as they racked up 395 yards of total offense. LU’s offense struggled to find its rhythm as the quarterback carousel continued due to all of the injuries. In the past two weeks, the Cardinals (3-5/3-3 Southland) have lost five starters, four quarterbacks and had to burn two redshirts. Freshman Case Robinson, who came on in relief of Andrew Allen, was solid in his first collegiate game. He completed 7-of-12 passes for 66 yards and a score, but his opportunity didn’t last long as he was knocked from the game late in the second half. That is when LU hande the ball another freshman – Adam Morse – who completed seven passes for 54 yards and a touchdown. Freshman Austin Krautz recorded a career effort carrying the ball 21 times for a career-high 114 yards, including a season-long rush of 56 yards. Linebacker Cameron Hampton led a defensive effort with 10 total stops on the night, including one for a loss. If Robinson was nervous taking control of the LU offense it didn’t show. After trailing the Huskies 7-0 early, Robinson guided LU down the field midway through the first on a four-play, 60-yard drive which ended with a six-yard strike to sophomore Zae Giles. The game would remain tied for the next 20 minutes before senior Juan Carranco gave the Cardinals a three-point advantage, 10-7, on a 26-yard field goal with 2:03 remaining in the half. HBU came out of the locker room with all of the momentum in the second half led by its defense. The Huskies forced LU to punt on its first four series of the half and HBU took advantage with a field goal and two touchdowns. HBU tied the game on their opening drive of the half. Alec Chadwick capped a seven-play, 47-yard drive with a 33-yard field goal to pull even at 10 less than three minutes into the half. The Huskies got the ball back with less than six minutes remaining in the third quarter and scored less than a minute later. Tony Dawson found Mev Ajdin from 31 yards on the third play of the drive to give the visitors 17-10 advantage. The Huskies added what would be the game-winning touchdown early in the fourth quarter when Dawson hit Isaiah Hall for a 44-yard pass to take a 24-10 advantage. The Cardinals had an opportunity to pack it in after the touchdown but instead went back to work. Morse injected some energy into the Cardinals lineup with a little help from the Cardinals defense. After recovering a fumble at midfield, Krautz carried the ball for four yards down to the HBU 46. Morse followed with an 11-yard strike to Giles, then handed it off to Hamshire-Fannett’s Kendrick King for a three-yard gain. After senior Michael Handy hauled in a 20-yard pass, Morse hit pay dirt on the next play when he found sophomore DeWan Thompson in the end zone for the score but that would be the final score of the game.

Nicholls jumped out to a 21-3 first half lead and held on for a 35-10 victory. It was the third consecutive loss for the Cardinals who fall to 3-6 on the season, and 3-4 in Southland Conference play. It was a case of too many miscues for the LU offense Thursday night at Guidry Stadium. The Cardinals finished the game with two turnovers (one fumble and one interception), but were stung with numerous bad snaps, including two on consecutive plays, which forced the Cardinals to punt the ball away after starting a drive 1st-and-goal from the Nicholls’ five yard line. The Cardinals could manage just 241 yards of offense and were held to minus 14 yards rushing. Nicholls finished the game with 404 yards of offense including 235 on the ground. Freshman Adam Morse was 19-of-37 for 255 yards and a touchdown in his first career start for the Cards. The Colonels cracked the scoreboard first as Chase Fourcade led the Colonels on a 13-play, 66-yard drive that ended with a nine-yard run from Fourcade for the score. The Colonels’ opening drive took more than six minutes off the clock. The 7-0 advantage stood until 11:55 of the second quarter when Morse moved LU deep into Nicholls territory, but the drive stalled out on the 10-yard line. Senior Juan Carranco came in and booted a 27-yard field goal to pull LU within four points, 7-3. Nicholls responded just over two minutes later when Fourcade hit Damion Jeanpiere on the far sideline. Jeanpiere spun away from one defender and took the ball 25 yards for the score. Nicholls appeared to be marching for another score before sophomore Davon Jernigan picked off a pass to thwart the drive. Unfortunately, the Cards gave the ball back on the very next play. Nicholls’ Mason Boudreaux cashed in on the mistake three plays later with a four-yard TD run up the middle. The Cardinals could manage only 144 yards of total offense in the opening 30 minutes, and were held to -17 yards rushing. Nicholls had a very balanced attack in the opening half recording 219 yards of offense, including 103 on the ground. The Cardinals finally caught a break late in the third quarter when Boudreaux fumbled on his own 30 which was recovered by Jernigan who returned it down to the five yard line. Despite the great field position the Cardinals could not convert. Consecutive bad snaps forced the Big Red to punt the ball away on 4th-and-goal from their own 41-yard line. The miscues would prove costly as Kyran Irvin carried the ball 78 yards down to the LU 2 on the very next play. The Colonels then turned to Boudreaux who punched it in from a yard out for the score. The touchdown gave Nicholls an insurmountable 28-3 advantage as the Red and White didn’t threaten after that. Each team tacked on one final score to close out the game, as Morse found sophomore Zae Giles from 13 yards to close the scoring with 3:14 remaining the clock. Giles finished the night with six catches for 66 yards and the score.

LU vs. the Cardinals
~Ineligible for SLC title, postseason
Fans of the Red and White will have one final time to see the Class of 2016 play at Provost Umphrey Stadium. The Cardinals game against Incarnate Word will serve as senior night. Prior to kick off, the Cardinals will honors their 19 seniors. The class consists of Michael Handy, Kade Harrington, Carson Earp, Brendan Langley, Mike Hargis, Kevin Greif, Xavier Bethany, Juan Carranco, Eddie McGill, Alex Ball, William Wowkanyn, Matt Johnson, Bret Treadway, Omar Tebo, Dante Cattaneo, DeAndre Jennings, Brannon Beaton, Koby Couron and Larry Carroll. This class produced numerous All-Southland Conference selections, two All-Americans and the program’s first Walter Payton Award finalist (FCS football’s version of the Heisman Trophy) and its first Southland Conference Player of the Year. The Class of 2016 played an integral role in helping the Cardinals tie a school-record for wins (as a four-year institution) during the 2014 season.
The Cardinals are a perfect 3-0 all-time against Incarnate Word with all three meetings coming since the return of football in Beaumont. The first meeting came during the 2011 season when the Red and White posted a 45-35 decision. The other two victories have come in the past two seasons, including last year’s seven-point decision in San Antonio. The Cardinals are a perfect 2-0 all-time in Provost Umphrey Stadium.
Home Sweet Home
The Cardinals have made Provost Umphrey Stadium a very tough place to play over the course of the past three seasons. LU is 13-10 (.565) at home during that stretch with seven of the 10 setbacks coming against nationally ranked opponents. Since the program’s return, Big Red is 23-17 (.575) in front of their home fans.

LU in November
The Cardinals are 53-80-3 (.401) all-time in the month of November dating back to the 1955 season. LU is 0-1 in the month this season.
This Date in History
The Cardinals are 4-3 (.571) all-time in games played on Nov. 12 dating back to the 1955 season. Saturday’s contest is the first time the Red and White has stepped on the field for a Nov. 12th game since the 2011 season when it recorded a 34-26 victory at Nicholls.
Quarterback Carousel
The Cardinals started their third quarterback in as many games last Thursday due to injuries. True freshman Adam Morse came into to replace classmate Case Robinson (who replaced the injured Andrew Allen) in the Homecoming game against Houston Baptist. Morse, who was being redshirted prior to coming in against HBU, completed 19-of-37 (.514) passes for 255 yards and one touchdown at Nicholls. Both Morse and Robinson burned their redshirts against the Huskies.
Losing Time
Thursday’s game at Nicholls marked the second-straight time LU has not won the time of possession battle. Prior to that, Big Red had dominated time of possession against the three previous opponents holding the ball nearly 25 minutes longer.
Trouble with the Exchange
The Cardinals struggled with the center-quarterback exchange against Nicholls. LU had five faulty snaps that led to 50 yards in losses, including two on consecutive plays. The Cardinals recovered a fumble and moved the ball down to the Nicholls five yard line, but consecutive bad snaps forced LU to punt the ball away on 4th-and-goal from the 41.
For Just the Second Time Ever
Thibodaux, La., has been like a home away from home historically for the Cardinals but it didn’t work out that way Thursday night. For just the second time in program history, and the first time since the 1983 season, LU left Thibodaux without a victory. The other setback was a 21-14 decision during the 1983 season. 2016 Preseason Southland Conference Polls

Sophomore Davon Jernigan recorded two of the biggest plays for the Cardinals defense Thursday night. Despite finishing the game with just two tackles, he picked off his first pass of the season and recovered a fumble which he returned 25 yards down to the Nicholls five yard line.
Not Helping Out
The Cardinals have made a habit of not helping make things easier on their oppoenents this season. LU is ranked second in the league in penalties against and leads the Southland averaging just 42.6 yards in penalties per game. The Cards have only been flagged 52 times in 2016. Big Red is just one of only two schools to average fewer than 60 yards in penalties per game this season.
Defending the Sky
Senior defensive back Brendan Langley’s streak of four consecutive games with at least one interception came to an end at Central Arkansas. Despite not coming up with a pick in the past two games, the Marietta, Ga. native, is still among the national leaders. Langley is tied with Wesley Beans (Marist) and Dante’ Blackmon (Kennesaw State) four third nationally (0.7 pg).
Pursuing History
Senior Brendan Langley is looking to write his name in the Lamar University record books, and give Cardinals’ fans something they haven’t seen in 55 years. Langley needs only one more interception to tie the LU single-season record of seven. The record was originally set by Jake David in 1965. Of the Cardinals final three opponents, only one (McNeese) currently ranks among the Southland’s top three in pass offense and pass attempts.
Like a Thief in the Night
The Cardinals have combined to record 12 interceptions during the 2016 season. That is two more picks than the Cardinals had all of last season, with two regular-season games remaining.
Top of the Class
Seniors Brendan Langley and Xavier Bethany are currently rank first and third, respectively, in the Southland Conference in interceptions. Langley leads the Southland (and is third nationally) averaging just under one interception per game (0.7 pg). He has six total picks on the season. Bethany is tied for third averaging 0.33 (three total interceptions) interceptions per game.
No Fly Zone
The Cardinals continue to have the Southland’s best pass defense. Big Red is the only team in the Southland surrendering fewer than 200 pass yards per game (161.8 pg).
Daunting Task
The Cardinals have faced one of the nation’s toughest schedules in 2016. Each of LU’s first three opponents were ranked in the top 25. Coastal Carolina entered the season ranked 16th according to the STATS FCS Top 25 poll, while Sam Houston State was third nationally. The Red and White traveled to Houston in the second week of the season to take on the sixth-ranked Houston Cougars. Central Arkansas was ranked 20th when LU made the trip to Conway. Four of the Cardinals six setbacks have come to nationally ranked opponents this season.

Lamar Football Game Notes Ray Woodard
Head Coach 34-44/Seventh Season
Ray Woodard has been at the helm of the Lamar University football program since its resurrection seven years ago -- a program that has seen incredible growth under Woodard’s direction. Since an impressive five-win campaign in its first season back, Cardinals’ fans have been witness to the consistent growth of the program -- a growth that has come at an accelerated rate in recent years. As if trying to make a statement in the 2013 season opener, the Cardinals set nine school records in the game -- which would be just a sample of things to come. LU set or tied nearly 50 team and individual records in 2013 and had three players receive All-America honors. In addition to the three All-Americans, Lamar also had a record 10 players named to the All-Southland Conference team, including three first-team selections. Running back Kade Harrington was named Southland Freshman of the Year, while senior defensive end Jesse Dickson was named league defensive player of the year by College Sports Madness. Woodard’s young charges continued the record-setting pace in 2014, which was capped by Lamar tying a school record for wins as a four-year program. Adding to the excitement of the eight-win season, LU picked up the record-setting victory at rival McNeese State on a field goal with seconds remaining. The win was Lamar’s first against McNeese and against a nationally ranked opponent since the sport’s return to Beaumont. For an encore, the Cardinals recorded one of their biggest wins in program history with an upset at No. 3 Sam Houston State the following season, and junior running back Kade Harrington became the first player in program history to be named Southland Player of the Year. Harrington ended the season by being named runner-up in the balloting for the STATS FCS National Offensive Player of the Year award – FCS football’s version of the Heisman Trophy. All told, Woodard has produced 43 All-SLC selections, including nine first-team players, 10 All-Americans -- including one Freshman All-American -- one CFPA National Punter Returner of the Year, one SLC Player of the Year, one league newcomer of the year, one conference freshman of the year and an SLC Student-Athlete of the Year. Lamar made its historic return to the gridiron in 2010. Not only did the Cardinals take the field for the first time since 1989, but they turned a lot of heads with their immediate success. In their very first game - at McNeese - Lamar set a school record with 429 passing yards. McNeese was ranked 11th in the nation when the Cardinals put a scare into the Cowboys before falling 30-27. A week later, playing its home opener in front of 16,600 red clad fans, LU earned its first victory in over two decades by a 21-14 margin over Webber International. Woodard was named the eighth football coach at LU by president Dr. James Simmons and then athletics director Billy Tubbs on May 19, 2008. He came to Beaumont after serving three seasons at Navarro College - the first two as defensive coordinator and the final as head coach. His 2007 squad went 9-3 and advanced to the conference playoffs for the first time in six seasons. Woodard spent three years as the defensive coordinator for the Scottish Claymores from 2000-03 during his second stint with an NFL Europe franchise. Woodard’s other professional coaching experience came as the general manager/head coach for the Houston Outlaws (1999-2000) of the Regional Football League, defensive coordinator of the NFL Europe’s Frankfurt Galaxy (1996-97) and the Texas Terror (1996) of the Arena Football League. Woodard’s first experience at the NCAA level came in 1998 when

he was the defensive line coach at Louisiana-Lafayette. From 1988-95 Woodard was the defensive coordinator at Kilgore College and recruited more than 200 Texas high school student-athletes. The Rangers appeared in back-to-back Shrine Bowls in 1989 and 1990. Kilgore had a 9-2 record in 1990, won the conference championship and was ranked as high as No. 6 in the country. Woodard also had a successful playing career, from his days at Corrigan-Camden HS to Kilgore College and the University of Texas to five years in the NFL. After earning 13 letters in four sports at Corrigan-Camden from 1975-79, he walked on at Kilgore College then went on to become a two-time All-America selection as a defensive tackle from 1980-81. Woodard then finished his college career at Texas under coach Fred Akers. Woodard and the Longhorns posted a perfect 11-0 regular-season mark, captured the Southwest Conference championship and finished the season ranked fifth in the nation. Woodard was selected in the eighth round of the 1984 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. He spent the next five seasons with the Chargers, Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs. Woodard received his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and history from Sam Houston State in 1988 and his master’s in education from the University of Texas at Tyler in 1991. Woodard received his Doctorate in Educational Leadership last October. Woodard and the former Penne Striedel have been married since March, 1982. The couple has one daughter, Jessica, who was married in April 2010, to Eric Martin. Woodard and his wife also became proud grandparents on April 23, 2012, as Trey DeSoto Martin was welcomed into the world.

HOUSTON, Texas – The Lamar University Cardinals had no answer for the nation’s sixth-ranked team as Houston (2-0) jumped out to a 28-0 first-half lead and never looked back. The Cougars defeated LU, 42-0, Saturday afternoon at TDECU Stadium in a game that was delayed more than three hours due to lighting. It was the first time the Cardinals have failed to score since the 2012 regular-season finale. The Cougars finished the game with 511 yards of total offense, while holding LU to 73. The majority of Houston’s damage came on the ground as the Cougars rushed for 381 yards and had three players with more than 100 yards rushing. Senior running back Kade Harrington was held to 23 yards rushing against one of the nation’s top rush defenses. Junior quarterback Andrew Allen came on in relief and was effective in the second half completing 6-of-9 (.667) passes for 44 yards. The Cougars struck first when Kyle Potsma scored from 39 yards out on the fourth play of drive with 12 minutes remaining in the opening quarter. After forcing a three-and-out, the Cougars got the ball back and appeared to be on the march for another score following a 38-yard rush by UH’s Mulbah Car down to the Cardinals 17 yard line. Big Red’s defense went to work after the run forcing Houston to attempt a 31-yard field goal which ricocheted off the right upright. It was a similar story on the Cougars next possession. Houston took over from their own 49-yard line and moved the ball down to the LU three before the Cardinals defense held on downs. It was one of four trips inside the LU 20 where UH came away empty handed. Following the defensive stand, Mother Nature took control of the game forcing a three-hour and 12-minute rain delay. The Cougars took advantage coming out after the delay scoring their second touchdown on a four-play, 36-yard drive that lasted 53 seconds. Car gave Houston a 20-0 advantage midway through the second quarter when he capped a 13-play, 91-yard drive with a two-yard run through the right side of the line. The drive consumed 4:36 off the clock. The Cougars tacked on two more scores to push their advantage to 28-0 and got the ball back with less than 90 seconds remaining in the half looking for more. Houston moved the ball into Cardinals’ territory before senior Xavier Bethany picked off the pass to thwart the drive and end the half. The Cardinals were held to 56 yards of total offense in the opening half, while the Cougars finished with 321 – 228 yards on the ground. Houston held the ball 3:58 longer that LU in the opening half. Due to the lightning delay in the first quarter, both teams agreed to a five-minute halftime but it didn’t effect the Houston offense. The Cougars scored on their first drive of the half when Postma crossed the goal line on a quarterback keeper from five yards out. The play capped a seven-play, 40-yard drive and gave UH a 35-0 lead. After recording their second goal line stand of the game, the Cardinals gave the ball right back fumbling it away on their own 23. Houston responded with a Josh Burrell – son of 1992 U.S. Olympian Leroy Burrell – touchdown 68 seconds later for the final points of the game.
BEAUMONT, Texas – After being held to only three points in the opening half, the 16th-ranked Coastal Carolina Chanticleers scored 35 unanswered in the second half to pull away from the upset-minded Lamar University Cardinals Saturday night at Provost Umphrey Stadium. The Chanticleers recorded a 38-14 decision to spoil Big Red’s season opener. The loss ended a string of three-straight season opening wins for the Cards. Senior running back Kade Harrington seemed to pick up where he left off last season as he carried the ball 28 times for 207 yards and two touchdowns. The Cardinals (0-1) ended the night with 391 yards of total offense, while Coastal had 407. In a battle of preseason player of the year candidates, Harrington outshined the Chanticleers (1-0) De’Angelo Henderson who ended the night with 28 carries for 158 yards and two scores. Henderson continued his NCAA Division I streak of 27-straight games with a touchdown carry. The first half was a much different story as the Cardinals stormed out to an 11-point advantage. LU’s defense kept Coastal off balance forcing the visitors to punt the ball away four times in the opening 30 minutes, and took advantage of two missed field goals. Trailing by three points early, the Cardinals took their first lead of the game when Harrington closed out the opening quarter with a 59-yard run. Harrington’s touchdown scamper came on the second play of the drive. The second quarter remained a defensive struggle until the 2:38 mark when the Cardinals again turned to Harrington who scampered 64 yards for a score - again, on the second play of the drive. The Cards took a 14-3 advantage into the locker room but the momentum turned less than five minutes into the third quarter. Big Red appeared to be driving for another score when Carson Earp’s pass was intercepted at the CCU 29 yard line by the Chanticleers’ Richie Sampson and returned 71 yards for the touchdown. Coastal converted on the two-point conversion to pull within three-points, 14-11. After forcing a three-and-out on the next series, the Chanticleers were able to reclaim the lead. Coastal used a 31-yard Chris Jones punt return to set up their second touchdown of the half. The Chanticleers ended the night by tacking on three more scores (two touchdowns and a field goal), including one with nine seconds on the clock to close out the scoring. Earp finished the night 13-of-27 for 154 yards and two interceptions. He also carried the ball eight times for 25 yards. LU’s defense was led by sophomore Davon Jernigan who recorded 14 tackles, including nine solo stops.

The Cardinals posted their best defensive effort of the season to snap a three-game slide to start the year. Langley led a defensive effort that surrendered a season best 14 points to the Lions and 356 yards of total offense. The Cards (1-3/1-1 SLC) finished the night with two players recording double-digit tackles – senior Xavier Bethany (13) and Chaston Brooks (11). While Big Red’s defense kept Southeastern Louisiana off balance, the LU offense methodically began to take control of the game. The Cardinals finished the night with 398 yards of total offense, including 268 yards on the ground. Senior running back Kade Harrington recorded the 16th 100-yard rushing game of his career carrying the ball 23 times for 143 yards and a score against the Lions. All five of LU’s touchdowns came on the ground Saturday as senior Carson Earp – who got the start at quarterback – carried the ball 11 times for 79 yards and two scores. Earp also completed 9-of-15 passes for 130 yards. Beaumont Freshman Kendrick King and junior Andrew Allen also rushed a score. King scored the game’s opening touchdown when he carried the ball in from six yards out. His score capped a seven-play, 80-yard drive with 3:33 remaining in the opening quarter. LU’s defense got the ball back 65 seconds later after forcing a three-and-out and a blocked punt from sophomore Zae Giles. After an incomplete pass, Earp called his own number and carried the ball in from 17 yards out for the score. The Cardinals took their 14-point advantage into halftime, and pulled away in the second half to pick up their first win of the season. LU was able to pull away due to Langley’s two second-half interceptions which came on consecutive possesions and set up LU scores. Langley’s three picks equaled a record only seen two other times in program history. Langley tied former Cardinals Donald Rawls (1983 vs. Louisiana Tech) and Pat Gibbs (1971 vs. Arkansas State).

The Bearkats (2-0/1-0 Southland) jumped out to a 30-3 first-half lead and held on in the fourth quarter to hand LU its third consecutive loss to start the season. Sam Houston State racked up nearly 600 yards of total offense (598), including 270 on the ground. The Cards recorded 325 of their 405 yards in the second half. LU finished the night with 227 yards on the ground. The Bearkat defense made preseason All-America Kade Harrington the center of their focus Saturday holding the Kingwood, Texas native to 76 yards on 25 carries. On the flip side, SHSU had three backs rush for at least 50 yards in the contest, led by Corey Avery who finished the night with 136 yards and a score on 17 carries. The Bearkats got the first score of the game less than 90 seconds into the contest as Avery capped a five-play, 75-yard drive with a nine-yard touchdown run. SHSU held the 7-0 advantage for the next nine minutes until LU mounted a scoring drive of its own. The Cards had an 18-play, 54yard drive that stalled on the Kats’ 27 yard line. Senior Alex Ball came in and booted a 44-yard field goal to put Big Red on the scoreboard, but that would be LU’s only points of the half. SHSU answered with their second touchdown of the game less than two minutes later. The Bearkats tacked on two more points when LU was called for intentional grounding in the end zone. Leading by 13 with less than five minutes remaining the half, the Bearkats’ closed out the opening stanza with two more scores. It was a different story in the second half. LU started the half with a 79-second drive that ended with Andrew Allen connecting with Zae Giles from 56 yards out. The score didn’t change for the next 10 minutes until SHSU was able to answer back. LU answered with a fake field goal that resulted in a TD cutting the deficit to 20 points. Big Red was able to pull within 13 but could get no closer against the nation’s third-ranked team. Allen finished the game 19-of-36 for 178 yards and two touchdowns, while Briscoe was 24of-35 for 328 yards and three scores for the Kats. He was also picked off twice in the contest. Allen’s favorite target was Giles who hauled in a career-high seven passes for 93 yards and a score.

The Cardinals (2-3/2-1 Southland) continued their dominance over ACU in Abilene improving to 7-2 all-time on the road in the series. It marked the first time LU had recorded back-to-back wins since the final two games of 2014. The Cards racked up 520 yards of total offense, including 309 on the ground.

The Wildcats took the opening drive and moved the ball deep into Cardinals territory before the drive stalled out. ACU had the ball down inside the Cardinals’ 20, but a fumble halted the drive forcing ACU to send on its field goal unit. Nik Grau converted a 22-yard field goal to put the Wildcats on the scoreboard. Grau’s drive-saving kick would be the team’s only score of the half. LU appeared to be driving for a score of its own midway through the quarter but LU’s drive stalled and senior Alex Ball came on to attempt a 47-yard field goal. The Wildcats, however, dodged a bullet by blocking the kick. The Cardinals defense didn’t allow ACU to gain any further momentum after the play as they kept their hosts off the scoreboard until the offense could get going. Big Red took its first lead of the game early in the second quarter when they capped a nine-play, 81-yard drive with a 38-yard run around the right side from sophomore Zae Giles. The Cardinals were back on the attack after the defense forced the Wildcats to the punt the ball away on its next possession. The Cards once again used a time-consuming drive moving the ball down to the ACU fouryard line to set up a 22-yard field goal attempt from Ball, which he booted through the uprights. The Cardinals tacked on their final score of the half with less than a minute remaining. Earp found Giles in the back of the end zone from six yards out to give the Red and White a 17-3 lead heading into the locker room. The Cardinals jumped on ACU for two quick scores in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. In what is becoming a common sight for LU fans, the Cardinals first score of the second half was set up by a Brendan Langley interception - the third consecutive game Langley has picked off a pass.Abilene Christian could only mount one scoring drive in the second half.

Trailing by as many as 13 points with less than two minutes remaining LU scored two touchdowns in the final 1:43 of the contest to record the victory. The victory was the program’s first over Northwestern State (1-5/0-4 SLC) since bringing back the sport. It is also the first time the Cardinals have won three consecutive games since the 1989 season. Although only holding the lead for the final six seconds of the contest, the Cardinals outgained Northwestern State, 561 to 410. The Demons were only able to inflict damage on the ground as the LU defense held Northwestern State to 20 passing yards. Sophomore Cameron Hampton led the Cards’ defense with 16 tackles, while senior defensive back Brendan Langley picked off a pass for the fourth consecutive game – his sixth of the season. Earp completed 29 passes for a career-high 412 yards and four touchdowns, and carried the ball six times for 63 yards. After not having a receiver record 100 receiving yards in a game this season, the Red and White finished Saturday’s game with two, Zae Giles and DeWan Thompson. Giles hauled in 10 receptions for 118 yards, while Thompson had four catches for 139 yards and two scores. The situation was bleak early as the Demons raced out to a 17-3 lead and held that advantage for nearly the whole first half. LU got the ball back with 3:02 remaining looking to take back some of the momentum heading into the locker room. Earp orchestrated a 14-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 10-yard pass to senior Michael Handy for his first touchdown grab of the season, but the point after was blocked leaving the Cards with an eight-point deficit heading into halftime. The Cards got the ball with 2:50 on the clock trailing by 13, and that is when Earp put together one of the best comebacks in program history. For the Cardinals it was their first victory over Northwestern State since the 1979 season, which was also the last time LU defeated the Demons in Beaumont.

The loss snapped LU’s (3-4/3-2 Southland) three-game win streak. The Cards were never able to find their rhythm offensively recording 220 yards of total offense. The Bears finished the night with 330 yards total offense. LU’s defense was led by Davon Jernigan who recorded a game-high 13 tackles, including 10 solo stops. Junior Andrew Allen came on in relief of starter Carson Earp and finished the night completing 17-of-37 passes for 151 yards.. LU scored on the opening drive after DeWan Thompson hauled in a 15-yard reception over the middle on 3rd-and-9 to keep the drive alive. That catch led to a 30-yard field goal to give the Cards a 3-0 advantage. It was the Bears specials teams that came to the aid of its offense in the opening half. After a 58-yard punt from senior Juan Carranco, the Bears Tremon Smith set up the game’s first touchdown with a 65-yard punt return. Three plays later UCA was in the end zone on a seven-yard run from Keshawn Ledet. The Bears tacked on a 19-yard field goal six minutes later to take a 10-3 advantage. It was a special team’s miscue that led to Big Red’s next score. After forcing LU to punt the ball away from deep in its own territory, Central Arkansas had the opportunity to get the ball back in good field position but the punt was fumbled away. The Cardinals recovered the ball and moved it down to the UCA 19 to set up Carranco’s second field goal of the game to pull LU within four, 10-6, heading into the locker room. Although the Bears finished the half with more yards of total offense, 157-103, Big Red held the advantage on time of possession. The Cardinals held the ball for more than 17 minutes in first half, while UCA had it for 12:43. The Bears opened the second half on a 9-0 run to take a 19-6 advantage. After the Cardinals defense came up with a stop, UCA punted the ball away which was downed at the LU one-yard line. The punt would turn out to be huge as freshman Austin Krautz would be dropped in the end zone two plays later to give UCA a 12-6 lead. After kicking the ball away, the Bears mounted a four-play, 56-yard drive that ended with a 20-yard pass reception to Kelton Warren. Trailing 22-6, the Cardinals got the ball back midway through the fourth quarter. The Red and White got the ball in UCA territory after a penalty on a short kick. With the aid of a couple of penalties, the Cards moved the ball inside the five-yard line where Allen called his own number from two yards out. LU went for two but came up short trailing the Bears by 10, 22-12. The Cardinals got the ball back only one other time and could come no closer.

The Huskies scored the first 17 points of the second half to build an insurmountable lead as they racked up 395 yards of total offense. LU’s offense struggled to find its rhythm as the quarterback carousel continued due to all of the injuries. In the past two weeks, the Cardinals (3-5/3-3 Southland) have lost five starters, four quarterbacks and had to burn two redshirts. Freshman Case Robinson, who came on in relief of Andrew Allen, was solid in his first collegiate game. He completed 7-of-12 passes for 66 yards and a score, but his opportunity didn’t last long as he was knocked from the game late in the second half. That is when LU hande the ball another freshman – Adam Morse – who completed seven passes for 54 yards and a touchdown. Freshman Austin Krautz recorded a career effort carrying the ball 21 times for a career-high 114 yards, including a season-long rush of 56 yards. Linebacker Cameron Hampton led a defensive effort with 10 total stops on the night, including one for a loss. If Robinson was nervous taking control of the LU offense it didn’t show. After trailing the Huskies 7-0 early, Robinson guided LU down the field midway through the first on a four-play, 60-yard drive which ended with a six-yard strike to sophomore Zae Giles. The game would remain tied for the next 20 minutes before senior Juan Carranco gave the Cardinals a three-point advantage, 10-7, on a 26-yard field goal with 2:03 remaining in the half. HBU came out of the locker room with all of the momentum in the second half led by its defense. The Huskies forced LU to punt on its first four series of the half and HBU took advantage with a field goal and two touchdowns. HBU tied the game on their opening drive of the half. Alec Chadwick capped a seven-play, 47-yard drive with a 33-yard field goal to pull even at 10 less than three minutes into the half. The Huskies got the ball back with less than six minutes remaining in the third quarter and scored less than a minute later. Tony Dawson found Mev Ajdin from 31 yards on the third play of the drive to give the visitors 17-10 advantage. The Huskies added what would be the game-winning touchdown early in the fourth quarter when Dawson hit Isaiah Hall for a 44-yard pass to take a 24-10 advantage. The Cardinals had an opportunity to pack it in after the touchdown but instead went back to work. Morse injected some energy into the Cardinals lineup with a little help from the Cardinals defense. After recovering a fumble at midfield, Krautz carried the ball for four yards down to the HBU 46. Morse followed with an 11-yard strike to Giles, then handed it off to Hamshire-Fannett’s Kendrick King for a three-yard gain. After senior Michael Handy hauled in a 20-yard pass, Morse hit pay dirt on the next play when he found sophomore DeWan Thompson in the end zone for the score but that would be the final score of the game.

Nicholls jumped out to a 21-3 first half lead and held on for a 35-10 victory. It was the third consecutive loss for the Cardinals who fall to 3-6 on the season, and 3-4 in Southland Conference play. It was a case of too many miscues for the LU offense Thursday night at Guidry Stadium. The Cardinals finished the game with two turnovers (one fumble and one interception), but were stung with numerous bad snaps, including two on consecutive plays, which forced the Cardinals to punt the ball away after starting a drive 1st-and-goal from the Nicholls’ five yard line. The Cardinals could manage just 241 yards of offense and were held to minus 14 yards rushing. Nicholls finished the game with 404 yards of offense including 235 on the ground. Freshman Adam Morse was 19-of-37 for 255 yards and a touchdown in his first career start for the Cards. The Colonels cracked the scoreboard first as Chase Fourcade led the Colonels on a 13-play, 66-yard drive that ended with a nine-yard run from Fourcade for the score. The Colonels’ opening drive took more than six minutes off the clock. The 7-0 advantage stood until 11:55 of the second quarter when Morse moved LU deep into Nicholls territory, but the drive stalled out on the 10-yard line. Senior Juan Carranco came in and booted a 27-yard field goal to pull LU within four points, 7-3. Nicholls responded just over two minutes later when Fourcade hit Damion Jeanpiere on the far sideline. Jeanpiere spun away from one defender and took the ball 25 yards for the score. Nicholls appeared to be marching for another score before sophomore Davon Jernigan picked off a pass to thwart the drive. Unfortunately, the Cards gave the ball back on the very next play. Nicholls’ Mason Boudreaux cashed in on the mistake three plays later with a four-yard TD run up the middle. The Cardinals could manage only 144 yards of total offense in the opening 30 minutes, and were held to -17 yards rushing. Nicholls had a very balanced attack in the opening half recording 219 yards of offense, including 103 on the ground. The Cardinals finally caught a break late in the third quarter when Boudreaux fumbled on his own 30 which was recovered by Jernigan who returned it down to the five yard line. Despite the great field position the Cardinals could not convert. Consecutive bad snaps forced the Big Red to punt the ball away on 4th-and-goal from their own 41-yard line. The miscues would prove costly as Kyran Irvin carried the ball 78 yards down to the LU 2 on the very next play. The Colonels then turned to Boudreaux who punched it in from a yard out for the score. The touchdown gave Nicholls an insurmountable 28-3 advantage as the Red and White didn’t threaten after that. Each team tacked on one final score to close out the game, as Morse found sophomore Zae Giles from 13 yards to close the scoring with 3:14 remaining the clock. Giles finished the night with six catches for 66 yards and the score.
