** LU at SHSU Game Thread...SHSU wins 14-3**

[Mike]

That blocked FG return couldve been a momentum shifter but nice job by the defense stepping up to force a 3 & out.

LU has ball to LU 41 yard line. 1:26 in the half.

nice drive starting from own 2 to get deep into SHSU territory with not much time to do so. Points would be nice.

big make by Alex Ball on his first attempt of the season. If they make the other two attempts LU leads at the half in Huntsville.

I Love what Im hearing. Sounds like we've had opportunities to score. Moving the ball well and playing good defense. Anything could happen.

Get Up Big Red!!!!

If Ray was coaching to keep it close today he wouldn't have tried to score with less than 3:00 left in half starting a drive from the 2-yard line.

Some missed opportunities but I'm very pleased with the first half for the CARDS

[BSFwins]

Now, this is a game!!

[CardinalClaw]

In my opinion LAMAR out played SHSU in the first half. We should be winning, but some critical mistakes have cost us points.

[LUSportsFan]

Statistically, we're ahead. Hurts that we didn't convert three opportunities to score. We ended up with one missed and one blocked field goal. We also had an interception in the end zone.

On the other side, SHSU had some missed scoring opportunities also.

And had the ball on the 5 yard line when Berry threw the pick...biggest stat I've seen so far is Flanders has 9 yards on 9 carries...will have to keep him in check the 2nd half to have a shot...could you imagine the homecoming crowd next week if we could pull off this upset?

[lu cards]

lets take the opening kickoff and score!!!!
