Lamar University was able to return to the gridiron thanks in large part to the generosity of donors like Walter Umphrey and his partners at Provost Umphrey Law Firm. In recognition of a gift from the Beaumont-based law firm and an additional gift from Umphrey and his wife, Sheila, the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Provost Umphrey Stadiumâ&#x20AC;? graces the renovated facility where fans cheer on the Cardinals. The renovated stadium features bench and chair-back seating, restroom and concession facilities, a concourse area, and increased handicap accessible seating areas. In addition, renovation included the installation of new lighting and a Matrix field turf playing surface provides a state-of-the art venue that will not only hold up to challenging weather conditions, but also allow the stadium to be a multi-use facility. Furthermore, thanks to a $1 million contribution from Education First Federal Credit Union, Provost Umphrey Stadium features a state-of-the-art, video-integrated scoreboard. The video board offers complete flexibility, with the capability to show one large single video image, multiple video images, and a combination of live or recorded video with real time scores and statistics, out of town game information, sponsorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; messages, graphics and animation.

Opening and Dedication

Provost Umphrey Stadium was originally built for a cost of $1 million with the construction period lasting from May 1963 through July 1964. It was dedicated during ceremonies prior to LUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21-0 season-opening victory over East Central Oklahoma on Sept. 19, 1964. Lamar fullback Darrell Johnson scored the first touchdown in stadium history on a 30-yard run during the second quarter of that game. The Cardinals have compiled an 84-82-3 record in the stadium, with their longest winning streak being 12 games spanning the 1965-1967 seasons.

Ray Woodard

Head Coach – 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. Woodard’s troops have made a habit of rewriting the LU record books during his time in Beaumont. In 2011, the Cardinals set seven individual and six team records. The 2011 season marked the first year Lamar was able to compete as a full member of the Southland Conference and Woodard guided the Cards to a pair of conference road wins on their way to a 4-7 overall record and a 2-5 league mark. 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 State - 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 guided the Cardinals to a 5-6 overall record that season, which included a 4-2 mark in newly refurbished Provost Umphrey Stadium while playing in front of capacity crowds in their first four home games. 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. From 2003-05, Woodard served as the head football and track coach at Burton (Texas) High School, with the Panthers winning the district title in track in 2004. He spent two years as the defensive coordinator at Livingston High School (1998-2001) and one season at Trinity HS (1997-98). 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-

Chuck Langston

Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line

Chuck Langston is in his fourth year working with the Lamar offensive line and his second as the offensive coordinator. Langston was promoted to coordinator in February 2015. Langston developed arguably the strongest offensive front at the FCS level in 2015. The Cards’ front five led the nation in pass protection surrendering less than 0.5 sack per game. In addition to protecting the LU quarterbacks, Big Red’s O-Line also helped produce the nation’s leading rusher in Kade Harrington. A unanimous All-America selection, Harrington became just the seventh player in the history of Division I football to rush for 2,000 yards in only 10 games on his way to finishing second in the balloting for the STATS FCS National Offensive Player of the Year award (FCS football’s version of the Heisman Trophy). Following the season, two of Langston’s players were named first-team All-Southland Conference (Cody Elenz and Bret Treadway). In 2014, Langston’s line blocked for one of the most prolific offenses in the nation. The line helped produce an offense that ranked fifth nationally in total offense (503 ypg), seventh in passing (314 ypg) and eighth in scoring (39.6 ppg). LU’s offensive linemen have reaped the personal benefits of Langston’s instruction over the past three seasons. During that time, Langston has produced seven All-Southland

Conference selections, including two first-team honorees. Langston came to Beaumont after spending the 2012 season with Central Oklahoma. He brings nearly two decades of college coaching experience to the Golden Triangle. Additionally, he knows Southeast Texas after starring at West Brook High School, he played collegiately at the highest level as a three-year starter for the University of Oklahoma. Before joining LU, Langston spent three years as the head coach and athletics director at Trinity (Texas) High School after one season as an assistant at Groveton (Texas) High School. Langston then moved to the college ranks where he spent five seasons as the head coach at NCAA Division II Central Oklahoma. He guided the Broncos to a 29-24 record during his time as head coach, including a 9-3 mark in 2003 and a spot in the second round of the playoffs. Langston’s first head coaching job came at Trinity Valley Community College. During his last season with the Cardinals, Langston led the team to a 10-2 record and a victory in the Heart of Texas Bowl. Langston’s first collegiate coaching position came at his alma mater where he served for three seasons (1997-99) as tight ends and defensive line coach after one year as a graduate assistant. Following a standout prep career at West Brook, Langston earned four letters as the center at Oklahoma. He served as a team captain and helped OU to three bowl appearances during his playing days. Langston earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Oklahoma in 1995 before getting his master’s degree from OU in 1999. Langston and his wife Amy have three sons, Christian, Justice and Reagan Luke.

Trey Haverty Defensive Coordinator

Trey Haverty was named the Cardinals defensive coordinator Jan. 26, 2016. Haverty brings 10 years of coaching experience to LU. He comes to Beaumont after spending the previous three seasons at Texas Tech working with safeties and linebackers. During his time in Lubbock, Haverty helped coach the Red Raiders to two Bowl appearances. Texas Tech defeated Arizona State in the 2013 Holiday Bowl, and faced LSU in the 2015 Texas Bowl. Haverty spent the first two seasons in Lubbock working with the Red Raiders’ safeties before moving to outside linebackers in 2015. He made the switch to linebackers for the 2015 campaign. During his time working with the safeties, Haverty produced one of the nation’s best in J.J. Gaines. During his senior season, Gaines was fifth on the team with 63 tackles and recorded two interceptions. Prior to his stint with Texas Tech, Haverty spent two seasons at TCU coaching on both sides of the ball and helped coach the team to two bowl appearances. During the 2011 season, he worked with the Horned Frog safeties,

before making the switch to the offensive side of the ball to coach receivers. That season the Horned Frogs advanced to the Poinsettia Bowl. As coach of the safeties, Haverty mentored Tekerrein Cuba into a second-team All-Mountain West selection. That same season, freshman Jonathan Anderson recorded 17 stops against BYU which was the most tackles by a TCU player since the 2004 campaign. He switched to receivers and helped the Horned Frogs make a successful transition into the Big 12 the following season, and produced an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection, Josh Boyce. Haverty began his coaching career in 2006 working with receivers at Cisco Junior College. Following that season, Haverty made his first coaching stop at TCU to serve as a graduate assistant coach for the Horned Frogs. He spent the next three seasons working with the TCU defense before being named defensive coordinator at Millsaps College. Haverty was a four-year letterwinner at Texas Tech. A former walk-on with the Red Raiders, Haverty ended his career as one of the school’s all-time best receivers. He led the Big 12 in receptions as a senior, and closed out his career by earning All-America honors from Sports Illustrated (second team) and AP (third team). Haverty received his bachelor’s degree from Texas Tech in August 2004, and a master’s degree from TCU in December 2009. Haverty and his wife, Christy, have a son, Tripp (3), and an infant daughter, Blakely.

Arlington Nunn Wide Receivers

Arlington Nunn is in his third season at Lamar. After eight seasons at Stephen F. Austin working with several different position groups during his stint, Nunn comes to Beaumont where he will work with the receivers. Nunn has made a name for himself of transforming his athletes into some of the best position groups in the conference. He spent his first three seasons in Nacogdoches working with the receivers where he produced some of the nation’s top talent. Three of Nunn’s receivers earned all-conference honors, including the school’s top-two all-time leading receivers, and former All-American Dominique Edison would go on to be drafted by the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. Following three seasons working with the wideouts, Nunn was asked to take over a struggling Lumberjack secondary. Nunn converted what had been a weak link in the SFA defense into one of the strongest units in the Southland. Under Nunn’s guidance, the SFA secondary went from a conference also-ran to the top pass defense in the league. His first season working with the defensive backs, Nunn produced three All-SLC selections, the SLC Newcomer of the Year and an All-American. Nothing changed during his first two seasons in Beaumont as LU’s wideouts proved to be the strongest in the conference. Led by 2014 All-American Mark Roberts, the receivers made Big Red’s pass attack one of the most feared in college football. The Cards finished the season seventh nationally averaging

better than 314 yards through the air. Roberts was ranked 11th in the country in receiving yards (1,157 yds), and seventh in touchdown receptions. Following the season, Roberts also received an invite to minicamp with the Kansas City Chiefs. Following on the heels of Roberts success, Nunn produced another standout receiver last season. A three-time All-SLC selection, Reggie Begelton graduated as the school’s all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and was second all-time in career receptions. Nunn has produced 15 All-SLC selections in the past nine years, including five first-team selections. Nunn has also coached a former conference newcomer of the year and six All-Americans. Prior to his most recent stop in Nacogdoches, Nunn originally went to SFA in 1996 where he spent five seasons working with the ‘Jacks’ linebackers and secondary. He helped tutor two-time All-American and former Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah Trotter. He also was a member of the 1999 coaching staff that guided the ‘Jacks to a Southland Football League title. The Clearwater, Fla., native has made stops at Baylor, Navarro Junior College and Sam Houston State before arriving at SFA the first time. After leaving Nacogdoches, Nunn spent three years as the receivers’ coach at Troy State before moving to Mississippi to coach running backs. A 1991 graduate of Clemson, Nunn was a standout performer for the Tigers, helping Clemson to four-straight 10-2 records and two ACC titles. An Academic All-ACC pick as a junior, Nunn was a member of the Tigers’ topranked defensive unit during his final season. A 22-year college coaching veteran, Nunn holds a bachelor of science in marketing from Clemson and a master of science in education from Baylor. Nunn and his wife, Monique, are the parents of two daughters, Alyssa (13) and Aria (7).

Beasley took on the task of rebuilding the entire LU secondary during his first season. Following the 2013 campaign, LU graduated all four starters in the secondary. Refusing to allow that to be a weakness, Beasley filled each spot with younger guys waiting for their time to shine, along with an influx of talent from the junior college ranks. The result, a secondary that ranked second in the Southland in pass defense and pass efficiency defense. Rising junior Xavier Bethany also excelled under Beasley’s direction. A second-team All-Southland Conference selection, Bethany finished second on the squad, and sixth in the league with 98 total tackles on the season, and two interceptions including one returned for a score. In addition to his work with the LU secondary, Beasley spearheaded a recruiting effort that was considered one of the best in the nation, and arguably the tops in school history. Big Red’s 2016 signing class was ranked as the top class in the Southland and nation’s fourth-best FCS class. Having worked at three other Southland

schools, Beasley has made a career out of converting defensive backs into a formidable unit. During his time in Huntsville, he helped coach the Bearkats to one of the most successful runs in school history. National runners-up in consecutive years, Beasley’s secondary finished the 2011 season ranked fourth nationally in pass efficiency defense, and tops in the country in interceptions and takeaways. During his five seasons in Huntsville, Beasley produced three All-Americans and 11 All-Southland Conference selections. In addition to all the national honors, Beasley’s secondary set a school record for interceptions during the 2011 season. Just as important as the numbers produced on the field are Beasley’s contacts in southeast Texas. During his time with the Bearkats, Beasley was tasked with the responsibility of recruiting the Golden Triangle. Prior to his stay in Huntsville, Beasley spent five seasons at Northwestern State working with the Demons secondary for the final three. Northwestern State ranked in the Southland’s top two in total defense all three years, and had the league’s top pass defense in 2008. Beasley produced six All-SLC athletes during his time in Natchitoches, La. Beasley took the first step toward a career in college coaching during the 2000 season as a student assistant at his alma mater, McNeese State. During his time as a coach, he helped lead three teams to a Southland Conference title, coached three All-Americans, 17 All-SLC selections, produced the 2012 SLC Defensive Player of the Year and watched his troops set 14 school records. A member of the American Football Coaches Association, Beasley graduated from McNeese State with a bachelor’s degree in May 2002. Beasley and his wife, Ellen, have two daughters, Sarah and Jane.

Brian Morgan joined the LU coaching staff in August 2014 as the running back’s coach and special teams coordinator. A native to Southeast Texas, Morgan is entering his third season on the Lamar sidelines. In Morgan’s second season he helped junior running back Kade Harrington go from one of the top backs in the Southland to the nation’s leading rusher. Harrington led the nation in rushing yards (2,092), yards per game (190.2 pg), all-purpose yards (213.36 pg) and rushing touchdowns (21) while finishing second nationally in points per game (12.5 pg) and third in yards per carry (7.86 pc) on his way to unanimous first-team All-America honors. Harrington became just the seventh back in Division I history to rush for 2,000 yards in only 10 games and finished second in the balloting for the STATS FCS National Offensive Player of the Year award – FCS football’s version of the Heisman Trophy. Morgan spent two seasons at Prairie View A&M before moving to Beaumont. During that time he worked with the Panthers running backs and linebackers. Morgan also held down the responsibility of special teams and recruiting coordinator. Under Morgan’s guidance, the Panthers produced one of the top special teams in the

nation. Morgan had five All-SWAC selections for their work on special teams, including three return specialists and a kicker. Former Panthers punt returner Moses Ellis finished the 2011 season ranked third nationally averaging 14.5 yards per return. In 2012, PVAMU finished the season ranked in the top 10 nationally in punt return and punt coverage, and in his final two seasons the Panthers blocked 13 kicks. Morgan’s familiarity of east Texas has been an asset to him on the recruiting trail. While at PVAMU, Morgan’s primary recruiting area was southeast Texas, including Houston. Entering his 12th season as a coach, Morgan got his first taste of coaching southeast Texas’ football talent in the high school ranks. He served as an assistant coach at Port Arthur Memorial for three seasons where he worked with the Titans’ linebackers and special teams. Following his three seasons at the high school level, Morgan accepted a position as a graduate assistant coach at North Texas, where he worked with future Cleveland Brown Craig Robertson. Morgan’s coaching career began at Grambling State where he spent the 2005 season overseeing the special teams. That year, Morgan helped coach the Tigers to a SWAC title. The start of Morgan’s coaching career came on the heels of a standout playing career at GSU. A two-time All-America selection, Morgan graduated from Grambling as the school’s all-time leading scorer. A three-time All-SWAC selection, Morgan helped guide the Tigers to back-to-back HBC national titles. Morgan graduated with a bachelor’s degree from GSU in December 2005.

Ramon Flanigan Quarterbacks

Ramon Flanigan was named LU quarterbacks coach in February 2015 and is entering his second season coaching the Big Red signal callers. During his first season on campus he was tasked with the responsibility of guiding a crop of new quarterbacks on the LU campus. At the start of fall camp, LU didn’t have a quarterback on scholarship who had taken a snap in a regular-season game in Beaumont. A situation that is tough enough for any coach, but Flanigan also had to work through numerous injuries to the quarterbacks last season and still managed to have a productive group. He lost his third-team QB a week before the season opener, in the second game of the year senior Joe Minden broke his wrist which left the Cardinals with just two scholarship quarterbacks. Just two games later starter Carson Earp went down with an injury and wasn’t 100 percent the rest of the season. A coaching veteran with more than 16 years coaching experience, Flanigan came to Beaumont after a two-year stint as the head coach at Lincoln University. Flanigan’s stop at Lincoln came following a coaching internship with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. Prior to Flanigan’s stop in the NFL he spent three seasons at Mississippi Valley State, where he served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. During his time in Itta Bena, Miss., Flanigan helped turn around a struggling Delta Devils program. MVSU defeat-

ed the reigning conference champions in his second season, and posted their best record in six seasons the following year. Flanigan’s impact at MVSU was seen almost immediately. The Delta Devils cut their number of sacks by more than half, finished tied for first in the SWAC in turnover margin – after finishing next to last the previous season – and produced the league’s top receiver in terms of yards per catch. Flanigan went to MVSU after spending two seasons in the high school ranks. Prior to that he served as the offensive coordinator at North Texas under head coach Darrell Dickey. Flanigan’s coaching career began at UNT in 1999 where he worked with the Mean Green receivers. The following season he was moved to quarterbacks, before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2002. During his time as offensive coordinator, UNT went through one of the most successful runs in Sun Belt Conference history. The Mean Green won fourstraight league titles, made four New Orleans Bowl appearances and produced some of the league’s top talent. Flanigan’s coaching career got started following a standout playing career at SMU. One of the school’s all-time leading passers, Flanigan graduated as the school’s all-time leader in total offense, and among the all-time top five in passing yards. He was the only player in Mustangs history to pass for more than 5,500 yards and rush for at least 1,500. The 1994 Southwest Conference leader in total offense, Flanigan guided SMU to a 6-5 mark in 1997 – the program’s first winning season in 11 years. Following his graduation in May 1997, Flanigan went onto play professionally for the Hamburg Blue Devils of the German Bundesliga. He guided the Blue Devils to a EuroBowl Championship, and played in the German Bowl.

The victory kept LU undefeated in home openers since the sport’s return. It didn’t take long for the Cards to get into the scoring act. After the defense forced a turnover on the second play from scrimmage, the offense, led by senior Joe Minden, found Michael Handy for a nine-yard strike on the third play from scrimmage. The Cardinals’ defense then forced a three-and-out, but a muffed return gave the ball back to Bacone and kept the defense on the field. Led by freshman defensive end Larance Hale, the Cardinals got the ball right back. Hale popped Bacone’s Roderick Mackey on the very next play jarring the ball loose. LU got the ball back and Minden again had the Cardinals on the move. Minden guided the Cardinals on a 10-play, 70-yard drive that took nearly four minutes off the clock. The drive was capped by a 12 yard pass to junior college transfer DeAndre Jennings. True to his word, head coach Ray Woodard got junior Carson Earp in the game early. The junior college transfer started the second quarter and led LU on an 11-play drive that ended in a 38-yard Alex Ball field goal. After the LU defense forced another three-and-out, the Cardinals were on the march again. Set up by a 17-yard punt return from Jayce Nelson, LU had the ball first and 10 from the visitors 39. After completing a 34-yard pass to Handy, Earp then turned around and handed the ball to preseason All-Southland Conference running back Kade Harrington for his first touchdown of the season. Before the half was over, Earp led the Cardinals to three more scores to take an insurmountable 45-0 lead into the locker room. The Cardinals recorded 329, of their 525 yards of total offense in the opening half. While the offense appeared to be in midseason form, the defense didn’t give an inch. The Warriors could manage only 45 yards of offense, including just 19 through the air in the opening half of action. Woodard made sure to rotate the quarterbacks equally throughout the contest although Minden attempted 20 passes, while Earp only six. True freshman Brett Cox also got in the game but didn’t register a pass. Minden ended the game 16-of-20 for 170 yards and three touchdowns, while Earp was 5-of-6 for 91 yards and two scores. The duo connected with eight different receivers, led by Handy’s five receptions for 63 yards. Due to LU’s lead at halftime, both head coaches and the officials agreed to play only 10-minute quarters in the second half. The Warriors never seriously threatened LU in the final 20 minutes but did crack the scoreboard with 6:03 remaining in the game.

The Bears took advantage of 15 LU penalties to record the 66-31 victory in front of more than 44,000 fans in McLane Stadium. The Cardinals finished the night with 340 yards of total offense, including 173 on the ground. Junior Kade Harrington had 16 carries for 56 yards and two scores, while senior Carl Harris added 58 yards on six carries, all in the second half. LU’s two quarterbacks continued to impress as junior Carson Earp finished the night completing 10-of-19 passes for 70 yards, and carried the ball six times for 39 yards. Senior Joe Minden was 8-of-11 for 97 yards and one touchdown. He also rushed for a score. Preseason first-team All-Southland Conference selection Reggie Begelton was LU’s top target finishing the night with 10 catches for 96 yards. Junior Tommie Barrett led the Cardinals with 12 tackles on the night. He was one of two LU players in double digits as Lloyd Julian added 10. The first half was a back-and-forth affair that saw the Bears take a lead only to have LU come back to tie the game. Big Red took their first lead of the game following Harrington second rushing touchdown of the night followed by Alex Ball’s extra point. Following another Baylor score, the Cardinals answered right back. This time it was Minden who called his own number crossing the goal line from a yard out. The Bears scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the first half to take a 35-21 lead into the locker room. LU would score first in the second half on a 31-yard Ball field goal which was set up by a interception and return from freshman Rodney Randle, but that would be LU’s final score until midway through the fourth quarter as BU rattled off 17 straight points to take a commanding 59-24 lead. Both teams tacked on a touchdown late in the game for the final score.

The victory gave LU (2-1/1-0 SLC) its second-straight win over a ranked FCS program, and its first against SHSU since bringing back football.It also marked the program’s second win ever in Huntsville and its first since 1959. Junior Kade Harrington had a career night both running and receiving the ball. He recorded a career-high 230 yards on 24 carries with two scores, and caught two passes for 83 yards and touchdown. He broke a 63-year old record with his 313 all-purpose yards in the game. Senior Devonn Brown caught four passes for 101 yards incluing one for a score from quarterback Carson Earp. The junior college transfer competed 14-of-25 passes for 223 yards and four touchdowns. It was a game of punch, counterpunch for the first quarter as the Cards would score only to see SHSU battle right back to tie the game. That came to an end at the start of the second where LU rattled off 21 unanswered points to take a 35-14 lead into the locker room. The Cardinals recorded nearly 400 yards of total offense in the opening half, including 183 on the ground. Harrington led LU with 12 carries for 97 yards and score, and also added two catches for 83 yards and a touchdown in the first 30 minutes, but the third quarter was a different story. LU was held to eight yards of total offense in the third as the nationally ranked Kats rallied back to pull within three points with 3:21 remaining. Big Red responded immediately to nullify Sam Houston’s momentum. Just over a minute later Harrington took a handoff from Earp and took it 73 yards for the score ending all thoughts of a comeback for the ‘Kats. Harrington’s 230 rushing yards are the most by a Cardinal since the 1985 season, and the second-best single-game mark in program history, just 29 yards shy of Burton Murchison’s single-game record which was set that same season. Senior receiver Reggie Begelton caught two TD passes to move into second all-time on the school’s career touchdown receptions list (18).

The Cardinals (2-2/1-1 Southland) finished the night with 365 yards of total offense, while the Lions recorded 539, including 256 on the ground.

Junior Kade Harrington recorded another stellar performance. He carried the ball 20 times for 152 yards and a touchdown. It was his second 100-yard rushing performance of the season, and the eighth of his career. Senior Reggie Begelton hauled in eight passes for 95 yards and a score. Harrington. Harrington also became the fourth back in school history to rush for 2,000 yards in a career, while Begelton became the school’s all-time leader in receiving yards.

Big Red came out of the locker room sluggish but got stronger as the half progressed. The Lions jumped out to a 13-0 lead, but LU took advantage of some miscues to rattle off 14 unaswered to take a one-point lead into the locker room, 14-13. The Cards’ first score came on a 26-yard pass from junior Carson Earp to Begelton less than five minutes into the second quarter.

The Lions answered with a 40-yard field goal of their own, but the cheers were quickly silenced as Beaumont freshman Rodney Randle returned the ensuing kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown. The Lions pulled back within a point after Landor scored on a keeper from five yards out with 2:37 remaining in the quarter. After another missed opportunity by the Lions offense, LU took the ball behind the direction of senior Joe Minden who guided the Cards on a 13-play, 70-yard drive that ended with a Ball 20-yard field goal to give Big Red a 27-23 lead. But, the Lions would have the final laugh as they reclaimed the lead for good with 1:19 on the clock.

The Cards took the first lead of the game with just over four minutes remaining in the opening quarter. Minden guided the Cardinals on a 13-play, 77-yard drive that ended with a 10-yard pass to Begelton. The drive took 4:47 off the clock, and was the team’s longest drive of the night. LU added its second score early in the second quarter when Harrington took a handoff from the Cards’ 20 and carried it 80 yards untouched for the score. Big Red added 10 more points to take a 24-0 lead into the locker room. The Wildcats were the first to score in the second half when Cedric Gilbert caught a 19-yard pass from ACU quarterback Parker McKenzie.

The loss dropped LU to 3-4 on the season, and 2-3 in Southland Conference play. Harrington continued to put up video-game type numbers rushing for 243 yards on 24 carries, including two touchdowns.

The Bears opened the second half by tacking on another score. Veasley rattled off a 56-yard run to record one of his four touchdowns on the night, giving the visitors a 28-3 lead with 12:38 remaining. It appeared the rout was on, but Harrington put an end to that thought on the very next offensive play. Following UCA’s kickoff which went out of bounds, LU got the ball at its own 35-yard line. Harrington took the first handoff and sprinted 65 yards up the middle of the field for the first of his two touchdowns. LU was back on the attack at the end of the quarter, and again it was Harrington helping LU chip away at the Bears’ lead. Harrington capped a five-play, 80-yard drive with a 50-yard run. The touchdown cut the deficit to 11-points, 28-17. The TD seemed to rally the Cardinals defense who came out and forced a punt on the next series, but UCA punter Matt Spencer buried the ball on the LU five-yard line. The LU offense came back on the field but any hope of a comeback ended on the next play as the Bears picked off the very next pass. Two plays later UCA punched it in for the final score. The Cardinals were led defensively by four players with double-digit tackles. Seniors Ronnie Jones and Xavier Bethany each had 14 tackles. Classmate Seth Ellis added 11 tackles, including two for losses, while junior Larance Hale added 10.

The loss, LU’s first against Nicholls since bringing back the program, dropped the Cardinals to 4-5 overal and 3-4 in Southland play. Both offenses dominated in gusty conditions as Nicholls put up 559 yards of total offense, while LU recorded 511. The majority of the damage was done on the ground as the Colonels rushed for 415 yards while the Cards had 368. The Cardinals were once again led by another superb performance from junior running back Kade Harrington. The Kingwood, Texas native finished the game with 255 yards on 32 carries, and two scores. Several more records fell for Harrington Saturday as he set the league’s new single-season rushing mark, and became the school’s all-time leader in all-purpose yards. He also tied the school record for most 100-yard rushing performances in a career. Senior Joe Minden completed 15-of-23 passes for 130 yards. His favorite target was Beaumont senior Reggie Begelton. The school’s all-time leading receiver hauled in nine passes for 82 yards. Begelton is 10 receptions shy of the Southland career record with two games still to play. The Colonels were led by two backs with over 100 yards rushing. Tobias Lofton ended the night with 17 carries for 154 yards, while Michael Henry had 31 carries for 100 yards. The Cards took the first lead of the game when Harrington scored a nine-yard run in the first quarter. After the Colonels tied it up a minute later, LU was back on the move scoring consecutive TDs building a 21-7 lead early in the second quarter. The Colonels answered with back-to-back scores to tie the game at 21 with 11:37 remaining in the third quarter. The Red and White’s quick strike offense was back on the attack 74 seconds later. Minden moved the Cards 69 yards in four plays, capping the drive with a 12-yard TD run. Nicholls used a time-consuming drive to punch the ball across the goal line with just over five minutes remaining in the third. The Colonels Landry Klann carried it in from five yards out on what appeared to be a game-tying drive, but the point after ricocheted off the upright leaving the Cards with a one-point advantage. That lead held until the 2:46 mark when Francisco Condado booted a 28-yard attempt to give the Colonels their first lead of the game, 30-28. The LU offense came back out and moved the ball 74 yards on 12 plays to set up a 23-yard attempt for Ball. Normally a chip shot, the attempt was made difficult by the weather. The kick sailed wide as the Colonels picked up their second victory of the season.

He became the school’s all-time leading rusher, set a new record for career 100yard rushing games and became just the seventh back in NCAA Division I history to rush for 2,000 yards in only 10 games as LU defeated the UIW Cardinals, 28-21, at Benson Stadium. After a defensive struggle in the first half, both offenses turned up the pressure in the second. All but 14 of the game’s points were scored in the final 30 minutes of action. UIW outgained Beaumont’s Cardinals, 359-355, with LU gaining an advantage on the ground (282-46) and Incarnate Word finding its success through the air (313-73). Harrington finished with yet another 200-yard performance, as he carried the ball 31 times for 217 yards and two touchdowns. Junior Brendan Langley led the defensive effort recording a game-high seven tackles to go along with an interception he returned for a score. The early assumption about the game would’ve led fans to believe it was going to be a high scoring contest, as the Cardinals took the ball on the opening drive and moved it 75 yards on 10 plays and ended with a Kade Harrington nine-yard run for a touchdown. The score would remain 7-0 for the next 18:41 until Justin Roberts picked off a Carson Earp pass and returned it 31 yards for a touchdown. The interception was the second of three consecutive LU drives that ended in a pick, including two at the UIW one-yard line. Big Red had the slight advantage offensively in the first half outgaining Incarnate Word by two yards, 170-168. LU had the advantage on the ground, 119-28, while UIW outgained the Red and White, 140-51, through the air. LU broke the tie with 3:38 remaining in the third quarter when Langley intercepted a pass that deflected off the UIW receiver and returned it 86 yards for a touchdown. It was UIW’s first trip inside the red zone all game. Following Langley’s interception return, the offenses woke up. After the LU defense got another stop, Big Red was back on the move. Harrington capped a six-play, 43-yard drive to take a 14-point lead, 21-7. UIW answered right back 38 seconds later when they scored on the second play of the ensuing drive. The LU Cardinals responded by mounting an 11-play, 84-yard drive that took more than five minutes off the clock, and ended with a seven-yard completion to Martell Hawthorne to give LU back a 14-point lead, 28-14. On the drive Harrington put an exclamation point on one of the best single-season performances by a running back in the history of the game. He became not only the school’s all-time leading rusher, but also became just the seventh back in NCAA Division I history to rush for 2,000 yards in just 10 games.

The six-point setback ends LU’s season (5-6/4-5 Southland) one win shy of its first consecutive winning seasons since the 1966 and 1967 seasons. The Cardinals battled their rivals down to the wire despite managing only 176 yards of total offense. McNeese State finished the night with 443 yards of offense, including 406 rushing, but struggled in the red zone. The Red and White held McNeese State to a 2-of-6 (.333) performance when they moved inside the 20-yard line. An unfortunate trend that has victimized the LU all season, McNeese State had the ball for 39:13, nearly 19 minutes longer than the Cardinals. The Cardinals managed only 63 rushing yards against the league’s top rush defense. Junior running back Kade Harrington was held to 70 yards on 17 carries – his lowest production since the second game of the year. After forcing a three-and-out on the first drive, the Cardinals fumbled the punt return back to McNeese on their own 36-yard line. Five plays later, McNeese’s Jean Breaux converted a 32-yard field goal to give the Cowboys the first lead of the game. The next score was also set up by a muffed return, but this time it was the Cowboys who fumbled the ball away. After fielding the ball in LU territory, McNeese State’s David Bush returned the ball six yards before fumbling it at the 34. It was picked up and returned 66 yards by freshman Dedrick Garner for the touchdown. After a lengthy review, the play was upheld and the Cardinals claimed a four-point lead, 7-3. The Cowboys answered back less than a minute later when Ryan Ross capped a three-play, 75-yard drive with a 26-yard run. McNeese appeared to be on the verge of running away with the game after Daniel Sams closed out the first half with a 32-yard touchdown run. The Cardinals defense stiffened in the second half allowing only three points to their guests. The McNeese field goal came with 8:26 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals cut into the deficit when senior Joe Minden found classmate Devonn Brown from 32 yards out to pull within six points, 20-14, with just under five to play. Big Red went back on defense with 4:37 remaining in the contest and a full compliment of time outs. LU forced three third downs but was unable to get the stop as the nationally ranked Cowboys escaped with the win. Junior Xavier Bethany led the Cardinals with 13 tackles, including one for a loss. He was one of three players in double figures as classmate Larance Hale had 12 – including 2.5 for losses – and senior Ronnie Jones added 11.

Lamar Football The Southland Conference

Now in its sixth decade of service, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. Having completed more than 50 years, the Southland has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the SLC welcomed four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian, Houston Baptist, Incarnate Word and New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the SLC also consists of Central Arkansas, Lamar, McNeese State, Nicholls State, Northwestern State, Sam Houston State, Southeastern Louisiana, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. An original Southland member from 1963-73, Abilene Christian rejoined the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, UIW and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14 million people, and six of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB star and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), Ricardo Chavira (UIW) and Jesse Borrego (UIW), and the late NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin). The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first six years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s Toyota Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season. Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. The conference has been represented in eight national championship games since the league joined the FCS (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 109 Division I playoff games in 32

years, winning 53 of the contests. Historically, the SLC’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. The Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1964, and was designated as NCAA Division II in 1973 before joining Division I in 1975. The league was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since. During its tenure as a Division I and I-A conference, the SLC initiated the startup of the Shreveport, La.-based Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests. The conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 Division I-AA national championship. McNeese State, which has made 15 appearances in the national playoffs, also played in the 1997 NCAA Division I Championship game, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title contest and has six playoff appearances, including 2009 and 2010. On five occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs. The Southland has produced 172 first-team football All-Americans during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level. The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (206) in the National Football League draft. There have been 26 Southland players taken in the draft since 2000. There are over 20 former Southland players on NFL rosters heading into the 2015 season. SLC alums in the NFL include Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Chicago’s Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), who have each been in the league for the last 12 seasons. Other recent NFL additions from the Southland include Green Bay’s Kevin Hughes (Southeastern Louisiana), St. Louis’ Jabara Williams (Stephen F. Austin) Washington’s Devin Holland (McNeese State), Atlanta’s Marcus Jackson (Lamar), Cleveland’s Dominique Croom (Central Arkansas) and New Orleans’ Tim Flanders (Sam Houston State). The league has seen former Nicholls State players win Super Bowl rings in recent seasons, as former Colonel Antonio Robinson was a member of the Green Bay Packers’ Super Bowl XLV champions. And, Nicholls’ Lardarius Webb was a member of the Super Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens. Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Mike Barber, Fred Barnett, Bubby Brister, Ray Brown, Roger Carr, Larry Centers, Bruce Collie, Jackie Harris, Buford Jordan, Tim McKyer, Kavika Pittman, Billy Ryckman, Rickey Sanders, Eugene Seale, Rafael Septien, Terrance Shaw, Leonard Smith, Marcus Spears, Pat Tilley and Marvin Upshaw. Both Dean and Smith are recent inductees to the College Football Hall of Fame. The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman. In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports. While successful on the fields, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom. During the last seven years, no other Division I conference has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference. In fact, in 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes. In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

Lamar History

Lamar Football Lamar Football History

From its birth as South Park Junior College in 1923, to its days as Lamar College, the ones as Lamar State College of Technology (Lamar Tech) and, finally, as Lamar University, the Cardinals have had an up-and-down – yet rich-and-proud football tradition. Actually, when South Park JC’s football players took the field for the first time only 12 days after the opening of the institution on Sept. 17, 1923, the team didn’t have a nickname. The players, who defeated South Park High School 25-0 at Beaumont’s old Magnolia Park that afternoon were identified as “the collegians” by sports writer Spike Cooper in the next day’s Beaumont Enterprise. Playing center for South Park JC in that first game was John Gray, later to serve the school as football coach from 1932 to 1939 and during two tenures as university president. Star running back for “the collegians” that day was Paul (Hog) Kinnear, and the team captain was fullback Ernest (Gus) Laminack. During its seven-game inaugural season, South Park JC played two high schools, three senior colleges and two senior college freshman teams and compiled a 2-4-1 record. The other win was a 10-0 decision over Stephen F. Austin College and the tie was 0-0 against Port Arthur High School. After the team’s midseason loss of 19-16 to Southwestern Louisiana, The Enterprise’s Cooper wrote, “From end to end and fullback to center, the collegians are the fightingest little football team we’ve ever seen.” Dunlap (Bull) Johnson became South Park JC’s football coach in 1924, and the 25-player team responded with a splendid 7-3 season. The team rolled up a combined 122 points in throwing four-successive shutouts to open the season, and the student body selected Brahmas the nickname for the school’s athletic teams. In a 23-0 victory over Rusk Junior College to complete the shutout streak, star quarterback F.S. (Spud) Braden completed 13 of 18 passes for 190 yards, statistics uncommon to football in those days of run, run and run some more. The University of Texas freshman team handed the Brahmas their first loss 9-7, and their other defeats came against Southwestern Louisiana 20-8 and the Rice University freshmen 7-6. The Brahmas wore red jerseys for the first time that season, shedding the green and white colors of South Park High School. The 1925 season saw the Brahmas under the tutelage of yet another coach – Lilburn Dimmitt, and they slumped to a 1-5-2 record with the lone win being 6-0 over Beaumont High. The ties were 2-2 with the Rice freshmen and 0-0 with Stephen F. Austin College. Gray completed his three-year South Park JC playing career that season and at E.A. “Beans” LaBauve was a the unbelievably 1979 inductee to the Cardinals young age of 19 Hall of Honor. became head coach at South Park High School in 1926.

As in the previous three seasons, the 1926 Brahmas had a new head football coach as Joe J. Vincent took over and guided them to a 2-4 record. The wins were 25-0 over Victoria Junior College and 9-0 over Sam Houston State. The 1930s

With the home crowds dwindling below the 300 level for most of the 1926 season, the football program was discontinued for five years, but it returned in 1932 when the school name was changed to Lamar College in honor of Mirabeau Lamar, known as the founder of Texas education. Former South Park JC basketball star Otho Plummer, later to serve the university for many years as a member of the board of regents, picked Cardinals as the new school mascot. After compiling a 35-20-5 record in six seasons at South Park High School, Gray became Lamar College’s first football coach and guided the Cardinals to a 40-30-4 record over eight seasons, beginning with a fine 8-1 mark in 1932. The wins included a 39-0 blitzing of Blinn College, and the lone loss was 6-0 to the SMU freshmen John Gray became head coach in the mud and rain in 1932 and compiled a 40-30-4 in Greenie Stadium record over eight seasons. on Thanksgiving Day. A blocked punt at the 3-yard line led to the game’s only touchdown. Season tickets for seven home games in 1932 were $1.50 each, a far cry from the $60 to $400 price range for season tickets for this year’s second season of Lamar football after its return from a 21-year hiatus. Another indication of how much football has changed over the years is that the average weight for the 1932 Cardinals was 158 pounds per man. Quarterback Jake Verde, who later played his senior college football at Texas, led the 1932 Cardinals by running for four touchdowns and passing for six more, and he also served as the team’s kicker. The gem of the Cardinals’ 1932 season was their 6-0 victory over heavily-favored Southwestern Louisiana, sparked by a 35-yard Verdeto-Ernest Byerly touchdown pass and two fourth-quarter interceptions by Ovey Babin. By 1933, there were enough junior colleges playing football in Texas for the state to divide into sections and originate a plan to determine a state champion. Although the Cardinals weren’t as strong as they had been the previous year, they advanced to the state championship game but lost it to Amarillo Junior College 27-14 in Beaumont’s Purple Stadium in mid-December. The Cardinals logged a 5-3-2 record during the regular season in 1933 and defeated Schreiner Institute 20-14 in the first round of the state playoffs. Defense was the trademark of that team as the Cardinals held nine opponents to seven or fewer points, although two of those games were scoreless ties. Actually, the tone for the season was set in the Cardinals’ opener when they piled up a whopping 24-4 advantage over East Texas Baptist in first downs and a 408-101 lead in total yards but lost on the scoreboard 7-6.

Just past the mid-point of that season, nine different players scored 10 touchdowns as the Cardinals rang up a 71-0 blanking of Blinn College. Two weeks later, Verde exploded for touchdown runs of 83 and 67 yards, and he returned an interception 50 yards for another score in a 40-7 romp over Victoria Junior College. A near-perfect 7-0-1 regular season catapulted the 1934 Cardinals into the state playoffs again, and they edged Schreiner Institute 7-6 in their semifinal matchup. The Cards had to travel to the Panhandle, however, for their rematch with Amarillo Junior College in the championship game which they lost 34-7 despite being in a 7-7 tie at halftime. Early that season, the Cardinals won back-to-back games against the Texas Shorthorns (the University of Texas’ freshman team) by the scores of 7-0 and 16-0, and they also tossed shutouts of 32-0 and 19-0 over St. Mary’s University and Victoria Junior College. The 1935 Cardinals slumped to a 4-2-1 regular-season record and lost their state playoff opener 20-0 to Schreiner Institute. The season was highlighted by a six-day railroad trip to Mexico City to oppose Mexico Poly in the first of several games played between the institutions over the coming years. Although the Cardinals posted a so-so 2-3 regular-season record in 1936, they qualified for the playoffs and came within 15 yards of winning a state title. Kilgore College held off a late Lamar drive at the 15-yard line to preserve its 10-7 championship win on Dec. 5, in Greenie Stadium. The 1937 Cardinals went 5-3 during the regular season and lost their playoff opener 14-6 to Schreiner Institute. They then hosted Mexico Poly in an exhibition game that they won 27-13. The final two seasons of the 1930s decade saw the Cardinals dip to records of 2-6-1 and 2-7. They suffered four shutouts in 1939 when they scored more than seven points in only one game – an 18-0 win over Texas Lutheran College. The 1939 season marked the end of the John Gray Era as football coach. In an article in The Houston Post, sports writer L.R. Goldman wrote, “John Gray always performed miracles with the material he had. He had the ability to get 110 percent from his players.” The 1940s R.M. (Monk) Hodgkiss moved over from South Park High School to succeed the popular Gray as head coach for the 1940 season. The Cardinals failed to even register a first down in his debut – a 27-0 loss to Kilgore College, and the Cards suffered three more shutouts during a lackluster 2-4-1 season. With victories in the last two games, Hodgkiss coaxed a break-even 4-4 season out of the Cardinals in 1941. Among the Cardinal players that year were Oail (Bum) Phillips and Theo (Cotton) Miles, both of whom went on to establish great reputations as football coaches – Miles at the high school level and Phillips at the high school, college and professional levels. With World War II escalating overseas, Lamar played the 1942 season with only 23 players, and the team went 2-6-1 under new head coach Ted Dawson. The school then discontinued football for the remaining war years of 1943, 1944 and 1945. In 1946, Lamar College joined Tarleton State, Kilgore College, North Texas Agricultural College (the forerunner to UT Arlington), Paris Junior College, San Angelo JC and Schreiner Institute in creating the Southwestern Junior College Conference. Each school was obligated to field

Lamar Football teams in football, basketball, track, tennis and golf, so thusly, Lamar’s first all-round intercollegiate athletic program developed. The Cardinals returned to the football field with resounding success in 1946, carving an 8-2 record under new coach Ted Jefferies, who won a state championship at Wichita Falls High School in 1941. As did Bob Frederick starred many other hard-nosed veterans, Bum Phillips returned from in football, basketball the war and captained the 1946 and baseball at Lamar. team that launched its season with an 83-0 dismantling of Decatur Baptist College. The Cardinals registered five other shutouts in 1946, and they outscored their opponents by a combined 241-37. Chick Forwald joined Lamar as head coach in 1947, and the Cardinals slipped to a 4-6 record. Stan Lambert became Lamar’s head football coach in 1948 and promptly guided the Cardinals to a 7-4 regular-season record and the school’s first berth in a bowl game. Playing before a home crowd in the season-ending Spindletop Bowl, the Cardinals easily disposed of Hinds (Miss.) Junior College 21-0. Cardinal stars that season included quarterback Joe Westerman, end Bob Frederick, running back Jimmy McNeil and offensive and defensive back Francis (Smitty) Hill. Lamar made its swan song as a junior college football program a huge success in 1949 by roaring to a Southwestern Junior College co-championship, a 10-2 record and two post-season bowl games. Along the way, the Cardinals scored a school-record 346 points. At the conclusion of the season, the Cardinals lost a 21-20 heartbreaker to Pearl River (Miss.) in the Memorial Bowl in Jackson, Miss. Back home in the Spindletop Bowl, the Cards rolled to a 35-14 win over Georgia Military Institute behind the running and passing of McNeil and two touchdown catches by Frederick. The 1950s Although it remained a junior college for one last year, Lamar began its transition to senior college status by lining up an all-senior-college schedule for the 1950 season. Despite being outmanned by some teams, Lambert’s Cardinals managed a 5-4-1 record highlighted by victories of 34-7 over Southwest Oklahoma State and 75-0 over Daniel Baker College. The Cardinals intercepted six passes in the win over Southwest Oklahoma, and eight different Cardinals scored at least one touchdown in the rout of Daniel Baker College. Lamar’s name changed to Lamar State College of Technology for its first official season as a four-year institution in 1951 – one that saw the Cardinals go 6-4 overall and 2-3 in the Lone Star Conference. That season saw the emergence of wiry running back Sammy Carpenter, a 144-pounder from Orange, as Lamar’s first real superstar. He rushed for 607 yards and scored 54 points as a freshman. In his sophomore season of 1952, Carpenter set long-lasting school records of 210 rushing yards vs. Sul Ross State, 1,005 rushing yards for the season and 13 touchdowns for 78 points in the season. The 210 yards stood until Burton Murchison broke the mark with 222 yards vs. Prairie View A&M and then 259 yards vs. Rice later in the 1985 season; the 1,005 yards stood until Murchison ran for 1,547 in 1985, and the 78 points in a season remain a school record. After winning two of their first three games in 1952,

the Cardinals stumbled to six-straight losses and a 2-7 record marred by losses of 48-0 to East Texas State and 66-7 to Trinity University. When Lambert moved up to director of athletics in 1953, his top assistant J.B. Higgins took over as head coach and began what would become the most successful era in Lamar’s football history. Known affectionately as “Hig” by his friends, Higgins went 3-7 in each of his first two seasons, but improvement began to show in 1955 (4-6 record) and 1956 (4-4-1). The Cardinals then enjoyed the school’s only undefeated record with an 8-0-2 mark in 1957. Carpenter ended his senior season in 1954 with 2,703 career rushing yards, a figure that now ranks second only to the 3,598 yards compiled by Murchison over the 1984-1987 seasons. Higgins, who compiled a 59-38-4 record in his 10-season tenure as head coach, pointed to the 4-4-1 1956 season as being the most pivotal for Lamar’s improving program. The Cardinals gave an indication of what was to come in the near future when they clobbered Sul Ross State 34-7 in their finale. Ties of 7-7 with Sam Houston State and 13-13 with Texas A&I were the only glitches in the Cardinals’ superb 1957 season that saw 270-pound offensive and defensive lineman Dudley Meredith become Lamar’s first bona-fide All-America selection. The ties forced the Cardinals to share the Lone Star Conference championship with East Texas State, a team they edged 7-6. In their season finale, the Cards rolled up a then school-record 562 yards of total offense in a 67-19 trouncing of Sul Ross State. For an encore in 1958, the Cardinals got defensive-minded as they led the LSC in rushing defense, passing defense and total defense while carving a 6-2 record. Their losses – in back-to-back games against Howard Payne and Southwest Texas State – were by a total of six points, and they outscored their opposition by 188-52 for the season. By winning their first seven games in 1959, the Cardinals climbed to No. 1 in the nation in all of the college division polls. They outscored their opponents by a 21.14.9 average margin during that streak that ended with a 14-12 loss to Howard Payne. They also lost their next two games to Texas A&I and East Texas State before closing their 8-3 season with a 27-14 victory over Sam Houston State. Guard John Donaho and fullback Shepard Touchett were All-LSC performers for the Cardinals in 1959, and Ronnie Fontenot led the team in rushing with 551 yards. The 1960s For the seventh-straight year, Lamar won its season opener J.B. Higgins coached Lamar’s only undefeated team to an 8-0-2 record in 1960 as in 1957. scatbacks Jimmy Davis and Ronnie Fontenot dazzled the Mexico Poly Burros with broken-field running in a 42-6 victory played before a crowd of 3,000 in Port Neches. Higgins’ Cardinals went on to post eight wins for the

second-straight season and the third time in four years as they went 8-4, including a 5-2 mark in the LSC. Davis had 123 rushing yards and Fontenot 111 in the win over Mexico Poly, and that game marked the starting debut for Windell Hebert, who went on to become one of Lamar’s most du- Sammy Carpenter had Lamar’s first rable and reliable 1,000-yard rushing season with quarterbacks. 1,005 yards in 1951. A 20-0 loss to Louisiana Tech in Week 2 was Lamar’s first by shutout in seven years, but the Cardinals were blanked twice more during the season – by Texas A&I and by East Texas State. They rebounded, however, to win their final two games 18-7 over Sam Houston State and 41-21 over South Dakota. With 457 yards, Fontenot led the team in rushing for a second-straight season, and he earned All-LSC recognition along with guard Nader Bood. That season also saw the emergence of Bobby Jancik, who later was American Football League Rookie of the Year as a defensive back for the 1962 Houston Oilers. Jancik reached stardom and Little All-America status the next season as he helped lead Higgins’ Cardinals to an 8-2-1 record and a berth in the 1961 Tangerine Bowl, the top postseason game for College Division schools. He scored 62 points, rushed for 302 yards and caught 16 passes for an additional 357 yards, including fourth-quarter touchdown snares of 64 and 55 yards in a 38-34 comefrom-behind win over Northeast Louisiana in the Cardinals’ season opener.. The 1961 Cardinals scored 282 points to set a school record that stood until the 1987 team bettered it by a scant point. Joining Jancik as offensive mainstays that season were Hebert, Fontenot, Jimmy Davis, Armour McManus and Ralph Stone. Hebert, who passed for 1,214 yards and 11 touchdowns that year, was stunned by the death of his mother at mid-season but two days later threw for 109 yards in a 33-13 victory over Howard Payne before a crowd of 9,000 in Greenie Stadium. Defensive leaders in 1961 included linebacker Lindley King from Orange and safety David Webb, who intercepted a still-standing school-record seven passes. The J.B. Higgins era as head coach ended after the 1962 season during which the Cardinals posted a 7-3 record to improve his 10-season record to 58-38-4. Two of the Cards’ losses that season were seven-point LSC decisions to Texas A&I and Southwest Texas State, both ranked in the NAIA’s Top 10. Hebert threw for a then school-record 231 yards in the loss to Southwest Texas, and he finished his senior season with 81 completions for 1,112 yards and seven TDs. King was both a first-team All-LSC and first-team Little All-America selection. As Lamar moved from the NAIA and the Lone Star Conference to the NCAA and the Southland Conference in 1963, Vernon Glass succeeded Higgins as head football coach. The former Rice University quarterback and Baylor University assistant coach went on to win a school-record 63 games over an up-and-down 13-season career with the

Lamar Football Cardinals. The popular Glass got off to a 5-4 start in 1963, and his up seasons included marks of 7-3 in 1967, 8-3 in 1972 and 8-2 in 1974. Glass’ down seasons saw the Cardinals go 0-10 in 1968 and 1-10 in 1975, his last year. At the mid-point of his first season as head coach, Glass made the bold move of turning over the quarterback reins to Phillip Primm, a red-headed freshman who eventually led the Cardinals to three-straight SLC championships. He led the Cardinals in passing and total offense in each of his four seasons and remains No. 2 career-wise in both categories with 4,036 passing yards and 4,379 total yards. Lamar football moved on campus for the first time in 1964 as the Cardinals christened 17,150-seat Cardinal Stadium with a 21-0 victory over East Central Oklahoma. Darrell Johnson scored the first touchdown in stadium history on a 30-yard run in the second quarter, and the Cardinals went on to post a 6-3-1 record, win the SLC championship and earn a berth in the 1964 Pecan Bowl. The Cardinals’ Jake David was an All-Southland losses that season Conference player for the were by a combined Cardinals in 1965 & 1966. eight points – 33-28 to the San Diego Marines, 13-12 to Texas A&I and 19-17 to State College of Iowa in the Pecan Bowl. While Primm, Harold LaFitte and Dan Yezak led the offense that season, lineman Anthony Guillory and linebacker Vernon McManus sparked the defense. A gem to the 1964 season was a non-conference, 21-14 victory over major college foe New Mexico State. Primm helped spark that win by completing 12 of 18 passes for 130 yards. Although Primm was plagued by injuries, the Cardinals managed a 6-4 record and another SLC championship in 1965. Primm’s two-point conversion pass to Frazer Dealy in the last two minutes enabled the Cards to nip East Central Oklahoma 15-14 in their opener, and they won three of their next four games before suffering back-to-back losses to Texas A&I and Southwestern Louisiana. Included in the early-season burst was a 20-7 victory over Arkansas State witnessed by a then-record crowd of 16,000 in Cardinal Stadium. The Cardinals clinched the SLC championship with a 21-3 triumph over Trinity University in which fullback Eugene Washington reeled off a then school-record 85yard TD run. Primm, McManus, LaFitte, Jake David, Dick Croxton, Ed Marcontell, Bill Kilgore and Mike Allman were All-SLC picks that season. With Primm passing for a then school-record 1,549 yards, the 1966 Cardinals shared the SLC championship with Texas-Arlington, a team they defeated 27-7. A 23-14 loss to Trinity University prevented the Cards from winning the title outright. Primm hit his high water mark of the season by completing 14 of 18 passes for 224 yards and four TDs in a 42-16 SLC romp over Abilene Christian, and linebacker Danny Jones led the Cards with 15 tackles in a 17-0 blanking of Arkansas State. Another big win that season was a 31-16 decision over Terry Bradshaw-led Louisiana Tech.

Lamar’s bid for a fourth-successive SLC championship ended in the final game of the 1967 season when Skipper Butler kicked three field goals to help UTA defeat the Cards 16-10. Still, they won seven-straight games over one stretch and finished the season with a fine 7-3 record. Randy McCollum took over as starting quarterback that season and came within 16 yards of Primm’s then school record with 1,533 passing yards. Tommie Smiley, a 232-pound running back, was the team’s leading rusher with 890 yards. Croxton became the first Cardinal to earn a third-successive All-SLC award, and Kilgore, Johnny Fuller and offensive guard Spergon Wynn were all picked for a second time, while Darrell Mingle, Richard Bjerke and Bill Groberg were first-year picks. The Cardinals came close to winning three times during their 0-10 1968 season, but they never quite pulled off the needed big play in losses of 16-14 to New Mexico State, 20-14 to Southwestern Louisiana and 24-20 to Trinity. Still, sophomore split end Ronnie Gebauer caught a then school-record 56 passes for 831 yards, and defensive tackle Richard Cummings and defensive back Benny Lansford were All-SLC performers. The Cardinals ended the 1960s decade with a 3-7 record in 1969 but went 0-4 in the SLC. Their wins came against McNeese State, New Mexico State and Southern Illinois in their first four games, and they ended the season with six-straight losses. An example of the Cardinals’ futility that season came in their game against Louisiana Tech. Quarterback Tommy Tomlin threw for 308 yards and a school-record six touchdowns, but he didn’t come close to matching the numbers put up by Terry Bradshaw in a 77-40 Tech win. The 1970s The 1970 Cardinals started their season impressively, upsetting West Texas State 33-28 as Tomlin completed 12 of 14 passes and then holding off Louisiana Tech 6-0 in a rainstorm in Cardinal Stadium in Week 2. A 32-16 road loss to Southern Illinois sidetracked the Cards the next week, and Tomlin went down with a practice injury a few days later that kept him our of action for four games. The Cards went on to lose six more games in a row before blanking Texas-Arlington 24-0 in the finale of their 3-7 season. They surrendered 309 points in 10 games, a dubious record that stood until the 1986 and 1987 teams gave up 339 and 386 points in back-to-back seasons. Gebauer had 39 catches for 540 yards in 1970 to become the first and still only Cardinal to amass more than 2,000 receiving yards. His 149 career catches and 2,098 career yards remain at the top of Lamar’s career lists. Also, Bennie Lansford finished his career that year with a still-standing 14 interceptions. With Lamar languishing with a 1-4 record at the midpoint of the 1971 season, Glass rolled the dice by switching Coach Vernon Glass guided the from the I Formation Cardinals to Southland Conferon offense to the ence Championships in 1964, Wishbone T. With 1965, 1966 & 1971.

squatty quarterback Glen Hill at the controls of the Wishbone, it produced four-successive wins to close the season and a tie with Louisiana Tech and Trinity University for the SLC championship. The streak started with a 30-28 win over Abilene Christian in which Hill rushed for 100 yards and kicked the winning 30-yard field goal. Glass’ 1972 Cardinals pulled off a 42-28 road upset of Texas-El Paso in their second game and went on to post a fine 8-3 record. Doug Matthews, later to become Galveston’s city manager and a Lamar regent, rushed for 101 yards in the UTEP game and for a team-best 689 yards for the season. A first-quarter field goal of 41 yards by Mike Drake stood up as the Cardinals defeated Southwestern Louisiana 3-0 as cornerback Donald Hill sparked the defense with two interceptions. Another highlight to the season was Matthews’ 135-yard rushing performance in a 25-19 road victory over New Mexico State. Matthews, offensive tackle Charles Cantrell, split end Joe Bowser and safety Rondy Colbert were all first-team All-SLC selections. Lamar gained major college classification in football for the 1973 season, and the Cardinals compiled a 5-5 record against a beefed-up schedule that included road games at New Mexico State, Drake University and Texas-El Paso. They scored 17 fourth-quarter points to win the UTEP game 31-27 as Bobby Flores passed 8 yards to Steve DeRouen for the winning touchdown with a mere 12 seconds remaining. The Cardinals also scored late in their matching 10-7 SLC wins over Arkansas State and Texas-Arlington. Flores threw 11 yards to Larry Spears for the clinching score against Arkansas State, and Jabo Leonard booted a 27-yard field goal for the winning points against UTA. Joe Bowser, who led the Cardinals in receiving with 38 catches for 545 yards and three TDs, was their lone offensive representative on the 1973 All-SLC First Team, while end Leon Babineaux and safety Rondy Colbert, who later played in the NFL, were defensive first-teamers. Bolstered by nine returning offensive starters and 10 defensive regulars from the 1973 team, Glass’ 1974 Cardinals went on to post a fine 8-2 season. They won six of their first seven games, and their only losses were 37-21 to Mississippi State and 28-0 to perennially-tough Louisiana Tech. Fullback Dale Spence ran for two TDs in the Cardinals’ 18-6 season-opening victory over Drake University, and a 64-yard scoring pass from Flores to Larry Spears helped spark their 27-7 triumph at North Texas State the next week. Flores ran for two TDs, and cornerback Audwin Samuel returned an interception 60 yards for another score as the Cardinals defeated Southwestern Louisiana 38-13 in Week 3. While subbing for the injured Flores in the Cardinals’ SLC opener at Arkansas State, Al Rabb connected with running back Anthony Pendland for a 65-yard TD pass with 2:11 left to give LU a 10-6 win. The Cardiac Cardinals did it again the next week as Donald Hill’s 29-yard interception return set up Jabo Leonard’s 24-yard field goal with a mere four seconds remaining to give Lamar a 10-7 victory over Southern Mississippi. Leonard and the defense combined to give the Cards a 9-7 road victory over West Texas State the next week. Leonard booted three field goals, including ones of 24 and 45 yards in the fourth quarter with the winning one coming with 48 seconds left. After the loss to Louisiana Tech, the Cards closed their season with wins of 17-3 over McNeese State and 8-0 over Texas-Arlington. The Cardinals’ points in the UTA game came on two field goals and a safety. The Cardinals’ defense, which ranked 12th in the nation in Division I that season, held seven of their 10 opponents to seven or fewer points. Colbert, Hill, line-

Lamar Football backer Ronald Black, tackle Donnie Davis and end Leon Babineaux were all honored on the 1974 All-SLC team, along with offensive guard Keith Elliott. From the astonishing high of the 1974 season, the Cardinals dropped to a disappointing low of a 1-10 campaign in 1975. Injuries to key personnel played a major role in the downward spiral, but it still cost Glass as he was replaced at the end of the season by Bob Frederick, a former LU standout in football, basketball and baseball who had been the Cardinals’ defensive coordinator for the previous 11 seasons. Playing their season opener against the University of Houston in the Astrodome, the Cardinals held their ground through the first half but wound up yielding a 20-3 decision to the Cougars. The Cards also hung tough in four-point and three-point losses to West Texas State and New Mexico State, respectively, in their next two Lynn Bock holds the record for the games, but the two longest punts in Lamar history season-open(86 and 80 yards). ing losing streak went on to grow to nine games. Their most humiliating loss was 43-3 to Southern Mississippi in the New Orleans Superdome. It marked the fifth time in eight games for the Cards to score seven or fewer points. A 30-10 victory over Southern Illinois in their 10th game enabled the luckless Cards to avert a winless season. They managed an average of a meager 10.8 points per game and yielded an average of 23.0 and had no players voted to the All-SLC Team. Frederick’s first year at the helm in 1976 didn’t see the Cardinals make much improvement as they scored a total of 97 points in struggling to a 2-9 season. Their wins were 17-6 over Northwestern State in their opener and 21-17 over New Mexico State in Week 3. They closed the season with an eight-game losing streak during which they were shut out twice and scored a total of 43 points. Senior defensive tackle Donald Davis was the only Cardinal to make the 1976 All-SLC Team. Despite improving on both sides of the ball, the 1977 Cardinals failed to improve in the won-loss column as they again went 2-9. After opening with a 21-7 win over Northeast Louisiana, they lost eight-straight games before stunning highly-favored McNeese State 35-7 in Lake Charles. Burly noseguard Matt Burnett, who later had a successful run as Port Neches-Groves’ head coach, led the team in tackles that season and was a first-team All-SLC selection. The 1978 Cardinals endured a 2-8-1 season that saw the end of the Bob Frederick Era as head coach after three years that produced a combined record of 6-26-1. The wins were 23-16 over Stephen F. Austin and 36-31 over Long Beach State, and the tie was 17-17 against Northeast Louisiana. Offensive guard Victor Enard of West Orange was

Lamar’s lone representative on the 1978 All-SLC Team. Offensively, the pass-and-catch duo of Larry Haynes and Howard (Boo) Robinson showed signs of what was to come as Haynes completed 92 of 184 passes for 1,261 yards and eight TDs while Robinson snared 27 passes for 451 yards and four TDs. The hiring of 35-year-old offensive guru Larry Kennan to succeed Frederick as head coach brought optimism for a Cardinal program starving for success after four successive losing seasons. Kennan’s resume included impressive stints as offensive coordinator at SMU and Nevada-Las Vegas, and he swiftly lived up to his hiring-day boast that the 1979 Cardinals would play an exciting brand of football. Operating from the Pro-I offense, the Cards razzled-dazzled their way to an incredible 38 team or individual records en route to a 6-3-2 campaign in 1979. The Cardinals fell 20-7 to Baylor in Kennan’s head-coaching debut, but he responded by calling the shots in a 58-27 dismantling of Western Kentucky in their next game, causing Cardinal Stadium to swell with a standing-room-only crowd of 17,600 for their home debut against Louisiana Tech the next week. Kennan’s troops did not disappoint the enthusiastic crowd as they responded with a 19-7 victory, Lamar’s first since 1970 over Tech’s Bulldogs. Linebacker Kurt Phoenix sparked the fireworks against Western Kentucky by returning the opening kickoff a school-record 98 yards for a touchdown, and by the time that sunny Kentucky afternoon ended, Haynes and fellow LU quarterback Mike Long had combined for 323 passing yards, six shy of the then school record. Other highlights of that day included split end Jesse Cavil streaking 72 yards down the sideline for a TD after catching a Haynes pass, Robinson popping open in the end zone twice for TD receptions, defensive end Terry Lee Williams returning an interception 26 yards for a TD and the defense coming up with six total turnovers. With Haynes at the offensive controls, the 1979 Cardinals averaged 248.5 passing yards and 24.7 points per game, and they notched three wins against SLC competition – two more than the previous four LU teams had managed. Haynes had a 276-yard passing performance against Western Kentucky, a 258-yarder against West Texas State, a 262-yarder against McNeese State and a 286-yarder vs. Northwestern State, but they were just routine outings compared to his record-smashing 403-yard output against UT Arlington. For the season, he had 233 completions on 402 attempts for 2,641 yards and 21 TDs. The 143-pound Robinson was Haynes’ favorite target as he logged three 100-yard-plus receiving games and finished the season with record totals of 59 catches, 840 receiving yards and 12 TDs. Despite his brilliance as a passer, Haynes was relegated to a second-team berth on the All-SLC Team, but Robinson, Enard, Phoenix and tight end Alfred Mask were all first-teamers. Joining Haynes on the second team were offensive tackle Kenny Birkes and cornerback/kick returner Johnny Ray Smith. The 1980s Depleted by the departures of Haynes, Robinson, Phoenix, Enard and several other key contributors, the 1980 Cardinals lacked experience and depth and, consequently, dipped to a 3-8 record. They opened with a 41-8 victory at Texas Southern, but eventual Southwest Conference champion Baylor pounded them 42-7 before a standing-room-only crowd of 18,500 in their home opener, and Drake was a 38-7 winner in Game 3. The Cardinals righted their ship with a 45-21 victory

over Stephen F. Austin, but four-straight losses followed before they edged Arkansas State 23-22 for their final victory. One of the positives to the season was that freshman quarterback Ray Campbell from Livingston steadily progressed into a competent passer, completing 157 of 296 attempts for 1,491 yards and seven TDs. Flanker Sam Choice, who led the team with 34 catches for 579 yards and four TDs, was a first-team AllSLC selection along with Smith, the team leader in kickoff returns and punt returns. The first two games of 1981 produced the biggest highlights of the season. First, Mike Marlow calmly kicked a 42-yard field goal with three seconds left to give the Cardinals an 18-17 road upset of defending SWC champion Baylor, then the Cards traveled to the Houston Astrodome and destroyed Sam Houston State 50-7 as Cavil caught three TD passes and Herbert Harris two. The Cardinals’ other wins in their 4-6-1 season were decisions of 17-13 over Northeast Louisiana and 14-12 over Southwestern Louisiana, and the tie was 20-20 vs. McNeese State. Junior college transfer Fred Hessen beat out Campbell for the starting quarterback job that season, and he threw five TD passes in the Sam Houston State game. He finished the season with 182 completions on 365 attempts for 2,108 yards and 14 TDs. Harris, who had 13 catches for 192 yards in a 16-7 loss to Louisiana Tech, set school records with 61 catches for 911 yards and seven TDs, while Ben Booker led the team with 569 rushing yards. Linebacker Charles Broussard led the team in tackles with 96, and strong safety David Jones and linebacker Larry McCoy had 88 each. Late in the spring of 1982, Kennan departed Lamar to take an assistant’s job with the Oakland Raiders, and Ken Stephens, who had coached Central Arkansas to a 10-season record of 67-35-6, was hired on June 2 to succeed him. Stephens found coaching at the NCAA Division I-AA level to be a bit more difficult than it had been at the NAIA level. His best season was his first when the Cardinals went 4-7 in 1982, and he departed after producing an 1133 record over four years. The 1982 Cardinals struggled offensively as they suffered three shutouts and also scored only three points in a 45-point loss to the University of Houston. Their wins were 24-14 over Stephen F. Austin, 27-7 over Sam Houston State, 28-17 over Texas Southern and 12-3 over McNeese State. Stephens did, however, coach two, first-team Division 1-AA All-Americas – both as sophomores in linebacker Eugene Seale in 1983 and running back Burton Murchison in 1985. A product of Jasper High School, Seale intercepted a pass on his first collegiate play and returned it 52 yards for a TD against Nicholls. He went on to win the SLC Defensive Player of the Week Award an unprecedented five times, to amass a school-record 170 tackles (85 solos and 85 assists) and was voted the SLC Defensive Player of the Year in addition to earning the All-America award. A 5-foot-11, 205-pounder from Woodville, Murchison made his first big splash in the second game of Burton Murchison led his sophomore season when Division I-AA with 1,547 rushing yards in 1985. he rushed for 222 yards and two TDs in a 30-7 victory over Prairie View A&M. He surpassed the 200-yard barrier

Lamar Football in two other games, including a school-record 259 in a 29-28 road loss to Rice University. With his Division I-AA-leading 1,547 rushing yards in 1985, Murchison shattered both the Lamar and SLC single-season records. In addition to his All-America award, he was the SLC Offensive Player of the Year. The 1986 season ushered in the Ray Alborn Era as head coach. He went 2-9 in his first season, 3-8 in each of the next two and 5-5 in 1989, Lamar’s last before the program was discontinued due to mounting deficits in its operation. Alborn’s 1986 Cardinals lost their first five games before managing a 17-3 victory over Southwest Texas State. Their other win was 47-23 over Central State of Oklahoma before a crowd of 961 in Cardinal Stadium. Murchison rushed for a team-best 830 yards in 1986, and sophomore Shad Smith and freshman John Evans shared the quarterbacking duties. They combined to pass for 1,772 yards and 10 touchdowns, and Derek Anderson led the receiving corps with 34 catches for 575 yards and three TDs. Lamar withdrew from the Southland Conference after the 1986-1987 athletic year, opting to join the newly-created American South Conference, which did not sponsor football. That left the football program with the burden of having to play as a Division I-AA independent – a move that made scheduling extremely difficult, especially for home games. LU had four home opponents in 1988, and three of those were West Texas State, Alcorn State and Mississippi College, schools that lacked drawing appeal in Southeast Texas. The 1989 schedule included road games against Angelo State and Alcorn State. Murchison ran for three touchdowns in the Cardinals’ first victory of the 1987 season – a come-from-behind 39-35 decision at Northern Illinois. Smith threw three TD passes with Anderson catching two of them as the Cards edged Stephen F. Austin 28-26 for their second win. The final victory was a 48-28 decision over Louisiana-Monroe in which Smith threw four TD passes and Murchison had a 44-yard scoring run and a 24-yard TD reception. Smith passed for 1,806 yards and 11 TDs that season, while Evans’ respective totals were 965 and nine. For the fourth-straight season, Murchison led the Cardinals in rushing with 813 yards on 130 carries, and he departed as Lamar’s all-time rushing champion with a career total of 3,598 yards. Ironically, the 1989 Cardinals were Lamar’s only team of the 1980s decade not to post a losing record, yet the coaches and players had to endure the pain and disappointment of seeing the program disbanded. A couple of weeks before the football program was discontinued by a 5-4 vote of Lamar’s board of regents, the Cardinals closed their season with a come-frombehind 22-17 victory over McNeese State before a crowd of Eugene Seale was a Division I-AA 3,263 in All-American linebacker and the Cardinal Southland Defensive Player of the Year Stadium. The in 1984. Cardinals rallied for 16 fourth-quarter points to seal their break-even 5-5 season, during which an amazing 24 individual or team records

were either set or tied. The winning rally was sparked by a 15-yard touchdown pass from John Evans to Chris Ford and a 31-yard field goal by Frank Van Renselaer, then capped by a 2-yard scoring run by fullback Kenny Franklin with a mere nine seconds remaining. Evans completed 30 of 50 pass attempts that night, and his 396 yards of total offense (353 passing and 43 rushing) were the then third-most in school history behind only his 421 yards vs. Texas-El Paso and 405 vs. Angelo State earlier that season. The 2010s It was stunning but seemed only appropriate, however, that quarterback Andre Bevil broke Evans’ record with 426 total yards of offense in Lamar’s return to football in a thrilling 30-27 2010 season-opening loss at none-other than McNeese State. The Cardinals finished 5-6 in their return to the gridiron in 2010 under new head coach Ray Woodard. Seven individual and eight team records fell during the year with Bevil setting two records and tying another. In addition to the single-game total offense mark, Bevil set school records for passing yards (429 yards) and most completions in a game (34). The Cardinals would get into the win column in their home opener with a 21-14 victory over Webber International in front of a sold out stadium of 16,600. Wide receiver J.J. Hayes scored the first points in the newly named Provost Umphrey stadium as he hauled in a Bevil pass for a 25-yard touchdown. Lamar would run its winning streak to two games with a thrilling comeback win at Southeastern Louisiana by a 29-28 score. The Cardinals trailed 28-8 early in the second half before scoring 20 straight points to stun the crowd at Strawberry Stadium. Hayes scored from 19 yards out on a Bevil completion with 1:52 to play to complete the comeback. Following a 38-10 loss to Sam Houston State, Lamar earned a 14-0 homecoming day win over Langston. The game against Langston drew 17,306 fans for the third best crowd in the history of the stadium as Lamar averaged 16,079 fans per game for the highest attendance of any Southland Conference school. The Cards would drop three straight games, falling 26-0 to South Alabama, 31-6 at North Dakota and 23-17 at Georgia State. However, Lamar rebounded to earn home wins over South Dakota (24-20) and Oklahoma Panhandle State (44-6) to close the year. After returning to the field in 2010, the Cardinals were official football playing members of the Southland Conference in 2011. Lamar managed a 4-7 record on the year, including a 2-5 mark in Southland Conference competition. The records continued in the 2011 season as the Cardinals set or tied 13 school marks, including largest margin of victory with a season-opening 58-0 win over Texas College. In that same game, junior transfer running back DePauldrick Garrett established school records for touchdowns in a game (4) and points scored in a game (24). After a 30-8 setback at South Alabama, the Cards posted back-to-back wins with a 45-35 home win over Incarnate Word and a 48-38 win at Southeastern Louisiana. Lamar would suffer a five-game losing streak following the wins before picking up a 34-26 Southland Conference win over Nicholls. LU closed the year with a 45-17 loss to rival McNeese State. Senior wide receiver J.J. Hayes, who earned second-team all-conference recognition, set three school

records. Hayes had a single-game record 212 receiving yards against Northwestern State, single-game receptions (14) against McNeese State and 951 receiving yards on the year to establish a single-season standard. Kicker Justin Stout added to the individual records as he matched a school mark with eight extra point kicks in the Texas College win and a new single-season record for extra points converted with 35. The 2012 campaign saw the Cardinals play a pair of FBS opponents for the first time since the return of football. Lamar opened the season at former conference rival Louisiana-Lafayette and also took a trip to Hawai’i to face the Warriors. Lamar posted back-to-back home shutouts with identical 31-0 wins over Prairie View A&M and Langston. The Cardinals also enjoyed a 52-21 homecoming win over McMurry as sophomore receiver Kevin Johnson tied Garrett’s single-game record with four touchdowns and 24 points scored. Johnson, who would go on to be named the Southland Conference Newcomer of the Year, returned a kickoff 88 yards for a score and scored three recieving touchdowns. Offensive lineman Sean Robertson and defensive lineman Jesse Dickson were each named second-team all-conference following the season. Prescott, Johnson, Jermaine Longino, Marcus Malbrough, Branden Thomas and Chad Allen were named honorable mention. Punter Kollin Kahler was named to the CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-District-7 Team, as well as several other academic honor rolls. The 2014 season was a record-setting campaign that ended with an exclamation point. The Cardinals entered the regular-season finale with their most wins since the bringing back the program. It needed only one more win to tie a school record for victories in a single season, but it would have to come at rival McNeese. Although LU had been close to pulling off the upset a couple times since its return, they were winless against the Cowboys. To make obstacle seem bigger, the Cowboys entered the game ranked 17th nationally, and LU was winless against nationally ranked opponents. All of that changed in dramatic fashion on the final play of the season when Juan Carranco drilled a 23-yard gamewinning field goal with no time on the clock. Following the season, 11 Cards were named All-SLC, including first-team selection Mark Roberts who earned All-America honors after setting a school record for career touchdown receptions. Running back Kade Harrington only added to LU’s record-setting pace in 2015. A former SLC Freshman of the Year, garnered Southland Player of the Year honors and was a consensus All-American after a season that saw him lead the nation in rushing yards (2,092), all-purpose yards (213.36 ypg) and rushing touchdowns (21). By year’s end, he garnered American Sports Network Player of the Year honors and finished runnerup in the balloting for the STATS FCS National Offensive Player of the Year award -- FCS football’s version of the Heisman Trophy.
