TexGator Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Who all is going to the HCU game? That "stadium" is really small. We can overpower the Huskies, if we show up and show out! I'll be there near midfield because I work too dang hard to go without a chairback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeckEm Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Who all is going to the HCU game? That "stadium" is really small. We can overpower the Huskies, if we show up and show out! I'll be there near midfield because I work too dang hard to go without a chairback. This game worries me. I watched the SE La vs HCU game last night on ESPN+. Looks like they have a good offensive line and a good defensive line. Very talented qb and good skill position players. Their secondary seemed questionable but they have a stud defensive end that may cause us problems. I was not very impressed with SE La. Pretty good qb and some good skill position players. But HCU lines outplayed SE La lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But HCU lines outplayed SE La lines. We shall see. I didn't get to see the tape. Did they jump out on Southeast? Wear them down? Just push them around for 60 minutes? Sounds like the trenches are their strength. This is the problem with early-season FCS teams- basically every game is either a paycheck game where they're getting pushed around (and we don't know much from it) or them paying a cupcake to come in and take the L from them. Now, teams are getting a little sample size after this week's games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Scoreless through the first quarter. A couple of nice fourth down stops for Lamar. First one kept HCU out of the endzone and the second stopped a drive at the edge of field goal range. Negative side Lamar gave up a couple of big plays. Offense has moved the ball but stalled out in each of their own possessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Lamar defense playing inconsistent from one play to the next giving up several big plays, but then coming back to shutdown HCU. Need to D-line to really start winning the scrimmage line each play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Lamar took the second half kickoff and drove deep into HCU territory, before fumbling the ball at the HCU four-yard line. HCU is making a solid drive aided by some big plays and a Lamar personal foul. The HCU drive stalls out at the Lamar three-yard line ending in a field goal to make the score 14-6 and a one score game.
