Keep being aggressive on offense, minimize the big plays on defense and we will leave Houston with a W.

Lamar forces a HCU fumble at the Lamar 46 to stop a drive with 11:46 left in the game. Lamar is unable to take advantage of the turnover going three and out but getting a good punt to force HCU to take over at their own two-yard line with 10:43 left in the game.

[geezer]

HCU drives 98 yards to score aided by a Lamar pass interference penalty. HCU tried a two point conversion, but an offensive pass interference penalty negates the attempt and HCU settles for a kick pat to close the gap to eight points 21-13. 7:45 left in the game.

A nail biter at the end but it's a great start in conference play.

Big win after HCU beat SLU last week!
