The Storyline on Today’s Game

Cardinals Host Southeastern La. on Senior Day

Fresh off their seven-point victory over Nicholls, Lamar University will look to make it two in a row today when they host Southeastern Louisiana. The Cardinals’ victory put an end to a 15-game slide dating back to their victory at Northern Colorado last season, and moves the Cardinals into a tie for sixth place in the Southland Conference standings with two league games remaining. The Lions enter the week fourth in the conference, just win back of UIW and Texas A&M-Commerce for second place overall. After a slow start, the Lions have turned it on lately winning five of their last six games, including two straight. The Lions’ lone loss during that stretch was a seven-point setback to A&M-Commerce. SLU is coming off a one-point victory at McNeese.

LU vs. the Lions

The Cardinals trail the all-time series to Southeastern Louisiana, 9-4 (.692), a mark that includes a 2-3 (.400) record in Beaumont. The Cardinals enter today looking to put an end to a four-game slide in the series. Big Red has dropped eight of the last nine, with the lone win during that stretch coming in 2016, 38-14, in Beaumont.

Century Mark2

Sophomore running back Khalan Griffin became the first Cardinal since Kade Harrington in 2015 to rush for at least 100 yards in consecutive games. The Tyler, Texas native recorded a career effort when he carried the ball 17 times for 131 yards (7.7 ypc) and two touchdowns in the win over Nicholls. Griffin is currently fifth in the Southland averaging better than 55 rush yards per game.

Pick Six

Freshman Aaron King picked off a pass and returned it 55 yards Saturday to give LU a two touchdown first half lead. It marked the first time a Cardinal has returned a kick for a touchdown since Brandon Dabney picked off a pass and returned it 60 yards for a score against UT Permian Basin.

LU Senior Class

Today marks the final home game for eight seniors. The Cardinals will honor Hunter Batten (running back), Jalen Dummett (receiver), Jacoby Davis (tight end), Austin Goffney (defensive back), Tyler Jackson (linebacker), Jack McCarthy (defensive lineman), Luke Wallis (deep snapper) and Nick Yockey (quarterback) prior to kick off.
