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 “Provost Umphrey Stadium” 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, sponsors’ 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 LU’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.

Mike Schultz

Head Coach – First Season

After succeeding as the offensive coordinator of efficient, high-octane offenses for the better part of 16 years – 14 of those in the state of Texas – Mike Schultz will open the 2017 season in his first year as head coach at Lamar University. He was hired as the second head coach since the program’s rebirth in 2010 on

December 21, 2016. The Houston native, who most recently spent five seasons under Dennis Franchione at Texas State, helped jump start a Texas Christian program that began in the Western Athletic Conference when they arrived that has since become a national power in the Big 12. Prior to their arrival, the Horned Frogs suffered a 1-11 mark in 1997 that turned into a 7-5 record and berth into the Sun Bowl in 1998. He and the Frogs would go on to play in nine more bowl games in the final 10 seasons he was there. When Gary Patterson took over the program, Schultz stayed on staff as offensive coordinator and the two built a program that was ranked in the AP and Coaches Top 25 polls in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2008 by year’s end. In 2005 TCU ranked ninth in the country as the Mountain West and Houston Bowl Champions. He was the mastermind that built the foundation for a dominant offense that lasted for more than a decade. His offense set single-season records for points scored and touchdowns in 2008, the same year he ranked in the nation’s top 40 in scoring, total and rushing offense. They also lead the nation in time of possession. TCU – which finished seventh in the final polls – totaled at least 410 yards of offense in eight of 12 games that season. Schultz and the Frogs ranked among the nation’s best in scoring six times in his 11 seasons, and five times each in total and rushing offense. TCU’s running attack ranked ninth nationally in 2006 with 194.6 yards per game and 17th in total offense (408.5 ypg). TCU ranked fourth nationally in rushing offense with 275.6 yards per game at the turn of the millennium, and was one of just six schools to average over 200 yards rushing and 200 yards passing in 2003. He was key in the maturation of TCU’s all-time leading rusher LaDainian Tomlinson, who racked up 5,263 rushing yards in his career, but it was when Schultz showed up that he excelled. In 1999, Tomlinson ran for 1,850 yards and topped that his senior season (2,158) – each led the NCAA. Including Tomlinson’s two seasons with more than 1,000 yards, Schultz tutored five 1,000-yard rushers with the Frogs, who only had four in the 100-year history of the program beforehand.

Tomlinson was a Heisman Trophy finalist and the Doak Walker Award winner before being picked fifth overall in the 2001 National Football League draft. He would go on to garner NFL Most Valuable Player honors following the 2006 season with 1,815 rushing yards and an NFL record 28 touchdowns. As offensive coordinator, he helped groom Andy Dalton into an NFL quarterback. In 2007, Dalton was listed as a freshman All-American after he set the then single-season school records for pass completions (222) and attempts (371) all while notching second in yards (2,459) and fourth in completion percentage (59.8) Schultz showed the ability to develop young talent throughout his career. Aaron Brown was tabbed as the MWC’s Freshman of the Year, and Lonta Hobbs and Robert Merrill became the first two freshman in TCU history to rush for 1,000 yards. Hobbs did it in 2002 and Merrill in 2003. Basil Mitchell was the fifth 1,000 runner under his tutelage. The Frogs set a school mark with 782 yards against in-state rival Houston in 2003 and grabbed third in 2007 with 604 against San Diego State. The marks are now second and seventh, respectively. While at Texas State, Schultz was known for developing a fast, up-tempo spread attack that was highly efficient. The 2014 season was his best, with his quarterbacks ranking 10th in the country in completion percentage (65.4) all while his running backs ranked 18th in rushing offense (238.5). The team was 24th in the nation in total offense (464.4)

and 25th in turnover margin (0.58). His offense ranked 111th the season before. He was an instrumental member of a staff that helped the Bobcats make the transition from the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) to the Bowl Subdivision (FBS). By their fourth season, the Cats would have been eligible for a bowl twice, but were still in the transition period. Schultz had two starting quarterbacks during his five seasons at Texas State, and both put up impressive statistics. His first quarterback, Shaun Rutherford, holds the Bobcat career record for pass completion percentage (62.4), while Tyler Jones owns the single-season mark of 65.4 from 2014. Between these quarterbacks, they accounted for 1,374 pass attempts and completed 853 (62.1) and only threw 31 interceptions. Combined they tossed 71 touchdowns and rank first and second in the school record books in career

Hall, a two-time All-American at offensive line. He notched 31 all-conference performers that spans two conferences and an independent status, and at TCU he worked with 44 all-conference selections, also spanning three leagues. In all, he’s been a key to 80 all-conference athletes during his 18 years as a coordinator. Schultz, who has coached both on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, started his coaching career at his alma mater and Southland Conference rival Sam Houston State in 1979. He served as recruiting coordinator and coached linebackers in one season and flipped to quarterbacks and receivers in the next year. He also was a recruiting coordinator and coached receivers and tight ends at UTEP and Kansas State before joining Fred Akers’ staff at Texas in 1985. Following that year, Schultz was an assistant and defensive coordinator at Westwood High School in Round Rock for four years before joining Franchione’s staff at Texas State in 1990 – his first stint at TSU. At UNM, he helped the Lobos to a WAC Mountain Division Championship and invitation to the Insight.com Bowl, the program’s first bowl berth since 1961. He’s been a part of 11 bowl appearances. After his time with the Horned Frogs, he spent time as the offensive coordinator at both Big 10 program Illinois and Middle Tennessee State. At Illinois, he coached a rushing attack that again ranked at the top of the nation’s leaderboards (18th) and at MTSU he was invited to play in the GoDaddy.com bowl, only the school’s fifth bowl appearance at the time. Throughout his career, Schultz has worked with quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, tight ends, secondary and linebackers. He and his wife, Cindy have three daughters, Taylor, Kendall and Jordan, and he is a 1979 graduate of Sam Houston.

completion percentage. Jones ranks second in school history in pass completions (569), fourth-most career passing yards (6,284) and touchdowns (44). He averaged 196.4 passing yards per game, which is third all-time. Rutherford - two-year career - is sixth in completions (284), 10th in yards (3,364), seventh in touchdowns (27) and tops in pass efficiency (140.1). Running back Robert Lowe turned in the fourth most rushing yards in school history (3,027) and rushing touchdowns (29) under Schultz’s guidance. Between Jones, Rutherford and Lowe, they hold spots on Texas State’s career record books for offensive yards, touchdowns responsible for, touchdowns scored and points scored. Under Schultz, the Cats recorded 20 spots in the season record lists. While the offensive coordinator at Texas State, he worked with D.J.

Melvin Smith

Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks

A coaching veteran of nearly 40 years, Dan Dodd is in his first year serving as the Cardinals’ offensive coordinator, after spending the previous five seasons as an assistant at Arkansas State. Dodd will also work with the Cards quarterbacks. Dodd has experience coaching in 12 bowl games, including the GoDaddy Bowl and New Orleans Bowl as a member of the Arkansas State staff. He also brings playoff experience coaching at the FCS and high school levels. During his time in Jonesboro, Ark., Dodd helped create a record-setting offense that set school standards for touchdowns and yards of offense. Dodd also spent time as the Red Wolves recruiting coordinator, where he helped bring in the Sun Belt’s top signing class (according to Rivals.com) in 2014. During the 2015 season, he assisted with an ASU passing attack that posted the fifthmost passing yards in school history and 35 rushing touchdowns. Dodd directly worked with honorable mention All-Sun Belt tight end Darion Griswold, who signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts after the season. Dodd’s career has taken him from the high school ranks through every level of the college game. Prior to his stop at Arkansas State, Dodd spent time at Tulane, New Mexico, TCU and Utah State. He has also spent time at the FCS level (Western Illinois) and the junior college ranks. Dodd served as the offensive coordinator at Tulane for four years, working with the Green Wave quarterbacks. He was named assistant head coach for the final three seasons in New Orleans. In 2010, Tulane ranked 38th nationally in passing offense, while running back Orleans Darkwa garnered freshman All-America honors after setting a Green Wave freshman record with 925 rushing yards and 11 scores.

Darkwa’s emergence as the leading rusher came just a year after Dodd’s offense produced a 1,000-yard rusher in Andre Anderson. That season, Anderson teamed with receiver Jeremy Williams to produce the first 1,000-yard rushing and receiving tandem in program history. During his time with the Green Wave, Dodd also worked with Matt Forte. As a senior, Forte was one of the nation’s leading rushers posting a school-record 2,127 yards, which was the seventh-best single-season performance in NCAA history. Dodd went to Tulane after spending seven seasons at New Mexico, including six seasons as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Dodd followed Dennis Franchione to TCU after UNM’s 1997 bowl season, where he spent two seasons as the TCU offensive coordinator before returning to UNM in January 2000. Dodd was a member of coaching staffs at New Mexico and TCU that produced fourstraight winning seasons from 1996-99 and participated in three consecutive bowl games (1997-99). During his time in Albuquerque, UNM’s offensive production not only improved but Dodd mentored several athletes who were recognized on a national level. Tailback DonTrell Moore became the sixth player in NCAA history to rush for 1,000 yards in four consecutive season. Moore would go on to become MWC Player of the Year, while former quarterback Graham Leigh was named WAC Mountain Division Offensive Player of the Year. Dodd began his coaching career in the Southern California high school ranks in 1980, before leaving to become an assistant at Butler (Kan.) Community College. He served as head coach his final two seasons, and helped lead Butler to three Jayhawk Community College Conference titles. A native of San Clemente, Calif., Dodd is a 1978 graduate of Drake University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in education. He set three school passing records as the Bulldogs quarterback, and was the 1977 co-captain. Dodd, and his wife, Dayona, have a daughter, Anne, and a son, Bobby, and three grandchildren.

A veteran of 33 years, with the majority of that coming in the Southeastern Conference, Melvin Smith joins the LU coaching staff as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Smith comes to the Golden Triangle after spending the previous three years as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach at Louisiana-Lafayette. Prior to his time in Lafayette, Smith spent two seasons at Auburn where he helped the Tigers to the 2013 SEC Championship and a berth in the BCS Championship game. During his time in Auburn, Smith worked with a pair of All-SEC selections, Jonathan Jones and Jonathan Mincy, who were named to the 2014 second team. In his first season with the Tigers, Smith was a key part of the second biggest turnaround in NCAA football history (+8 games) while his secondary made one of the most dramatic improvements in production, recording 13 interceptions (Auburn picked off just two passes in 2012). Among his pupils in 2013 was senior cornerback Chris Davis who was a second-team AP All-SEC selection and made one of the top plays in the country with a 109-yard missed field goal return for a touchdown in a 34-28 victory over top-ranked Alabama. Before his time in Auburn, the Taylorsville, Miss., native spent seven seasons at Mississippi State helping the Bulldogs to a No. 15 ranking in the final 2010 national polls and a berth in the Toyota Gator Bowl. During his tenure at Mississippi State, Smith mentored Jonathan Banks, who won the 2012 Jim Thorpe Award, presented annually to the nation’s top defensive back. Banks also earned Walter Camp All-America honors and was a first-team All-SEC selection.

Smith also tutored a Bulldog defense that had 30 takeaways, which led the SEC and was 12th nationally. Darius Slay, a second-team AllSEC pick, tied for the league lead in interceptions with five, while Banks had four. In 2009, Smith guided a young group that led the SEC with 17 interceptions. Led by then-freshman Corey Broomfield’s six picks, the corners improved as the season progressed. For his efforts, Broomfield was named Freshman All-SEC. In 2011, Smith continued to tutor Broomfield and Banks, who developed into an All-SEC performer and were named semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award. Smith returned to Mississippi State in 2006 after spending time at both Alabama and Texas A&M. In just his second season back at MSU, Smith helped the Bulldogs’ pass defense rank fourth in the SEC, allowing just 182.2 yards per game, and sixth in pass efficiency defense (114.8) The Bulldogs improved their interception total from 12 to 15. The 33-year coaching veteran went back to Mississippi State following three seasons at Texas A&M, where he coached the safeties. During his tenure in College Station, Smith helped the Aggies to a 7-4 regular-season record in 2004 and a berth in the 2005 Cotton Bowl. Smith coached the safeties at Alabama in 2002, where the Crimson Tide team posted a 10-3 regular-season record. He was an assistant football coach at Mississippi State for seven years (1995-2001), helping guide the Bulldogs through the greatest period in the school’s football history. In 2000, three of his four defensive backfield starters signed professional football contracts. That secondary intercepted 19 passes, the second most in school history. Smith has also served as an assistant coach at Ole Miss (1992-94) and Delta State (1990-91). He began his coaching career on the high school level at Greenwood (Miss.) in 1982. By the time he joined the Delta State staff in 1990, he had also joined the Army Reserves for a stint that would eventually last eight years. Smith is married to the former Shelia McLemore and they are the parents of four children, sons Robert and Ricky, and daughters Deondra and Ashlee.

Troy Douglas

Cam Clark

Co-Defensive Coordinator/Corner Backs

A native of Jacksonville, Fla., Douglas will serve as the Cardinals co-defensive coordinator along with Melvin Smith. A coaching veteran of nearly 30 years, the majority of which has been spent at the FBS level, Douglas has a long track record of sending players on to the NFL. Over the course of his career, he has sent nearly 20 players on to the next level. Among those who have advanced on to play in the NFL include Tracy Porter (Oakland Raiders), Mike Jenkins (Oakland Raiders), Nate Allen (Philadelphia Eagles), Da’Norris Searcy (Buffalo Bills) and Jerome Murphy (Washington Redskins). Douglas’ coaching track record has made stops at Pittsburgh, Iowa State, North Carolina, South Florida, Indiana and Michigan State. He also has a familiarity with the state of Texas having spent four seasons at SMU and two at UTEP. In addition to his time in Texas, Douglas has also made FCS level coaching stops at East Tennessee State and Appalachian State. Douglas brings 27 years of coaching experience to the Golden Triangle. He spent one season at Pittsburgh before his arrival in Beaumont. In addition to serving as co-defensive coordinator, Douglas will also coach the LU defensive backs. Prior to his arrival at LU, Douglas spent one season at Pittsburgh and at Sam Houston State coaching defensive backs. Before making his way into the Southland Conference, Douglas spent two years at Iowa State where

he developed three All-Big 12 performers. In his final year at Iowa State, Douglas coached All-Big 12 selection Jacques Washington, who sparked the Cyclones’ come-from-behind win at West Virginia with three takeaways (two interceptions and a fumble recovery). Prior to his stint with the Cyclones, Douglas coached the defensive backs at North Carolina for three years (2009-11). The Tar Heels intercepted 38 passes over the 2009 and 2010 campaigns, ranking among the nation’s top 12 in that category each season. From 2006-08, Douglas worked with the defensive backs at South Florida, helping the Bulls to three bowl bids. USF corner Mike Jenkins was a first-team All-American and the 2008 first-round draft choice of the Dallas Cowboys. In 2007, USF led the country in fumble recoveries and turnovers gained, while ranking fourth in interceptions. In 2008, the Bulls ranked 10th nationally in total defense. In 2004 and 2005, Douglas coached at Indiana and worked with corner Tracy Porter, who went on to become an All-Big Ten performer and second-round pick of the New Orleans Saints. Porter had a game-clinching 74-yard interception return for a touchdown in the Saints’ 31-17 victory over Indianapolis in Super Bowl XLIV. Douglas’ additional coaching stops include South Carolina State (2003), Michigan State (2001-02), SMU (1997-2000), UTEP (1995-96), East Tennessee State (1992-94) and West Chester (1989-91).

Cam Clark enters his first season on the Cardinals’ coaching staff after spending the 2016 campaign as the defensive coordinator at Faulkner University. Clark will work with the LU strong safeties and outside linebackers. Prior to his season at Faulkner, Clark spent three years working with current Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn serving as a defensive graduate assistant. During his time with the Tigers, Clark worked with Auburn’s safeties and nickel backs, as well as special teams. Clark was also heavily involved with recruiting. During his time at Auburn, the Tigers climbed to the top of the Southeastern Conference. Auburn locked up the 2013 SEC West Division title on its way to an SEC Champi-

onship with a victory over Missouri in the title game. The Tigers rolled their way into the National Championship. It was nearly an unthinkable accomplishment prior to the season as the Tigers were coming off a 3-9 campaign that saw them fail to win an SEC contest. Clark served in a similar capacity under Malzahn at Arkansas State. He assisted with a team that won the 2011 Sun Belt Conference Championship and played in the GoDaddy Bowl. Clark’s stop at Faulkner as the defensive coordinator was his second trip to the university. He made a stop in Montgomery, Ala. in 2008 when he was hired as the secondary and wide receivers coach. Clark also served as Faulkner’s recruiting coordinator during that time. Clark’s coaching career followed a successful playing career at Harding University where he was a four-year letterwinner in football and track and field. Clark received his bachelor’s degree from Harding in 2007. He graduated from Auburn with a masters in adult education in 2014. Clark and his wife, Dana, have a two-year old son, Hutch.

Todd Ivicic

Special Teams Coordinator/Defensive Line

A veteran of the Southland Conference, Todd Ivicic enters his first season on the Lamar University football staff as defensive line coach and special teams coordinator. Ivicic takes over an LU defensive line that lost three of four starters to attrition from 2016. Ivicic comes to LU after spending the previous 10 seasons at Incarnate Word, including the last five as associate head coach. Ivicic served as UIW interim head coach for the final three games of the 2011 season before the hiring of current head coach Larry Kennan. After his hiring Kennan named Ivicic associate head coach working primarily with defensive linemen. Ivicic was named UIW defensive coordinator in 2007. During his first season with the Cardinals, UIW finished 13th nationally in tackles for loss and 33rd in sacks. Just three years later, Ivicic helped the Cardinals make the transition into the Lone Star Conference. In that first season, UIW allowed just 136 rushing yards per game, and led the LSC in opponent third down conversions and was second in the league in opponent first downs. The following season, Ivicic produced one of the league’s more opportunistic defenses. UIW led the conference with 16 interceptions while adding four forced fumbles. Safeties Chaz Pavliska and Devin Haywood were each second team all-league selections. Haywood finished that season ranked seventh in the nation with a school record seven interceptions. Ivicic’s 2013 d-line was a strong mix of veterans and rookies. Senior tackle Robby Horton earned College Sports Madness All-Independent second-team honors after leading the team with 10 tackles for losses, including four sacks. He finished his career with school records in both stats. The line was also crucial recording nearly 30 TFLs on the season. Ivicic also helped coach UIW through the

transition into NCAA Division I status. In 2014, he worked with Corey Lee, who went on to set a school record in tackles for losses, and eventually earned second-team All-Southland honors. Ivicic began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Sam Houston State in 1991 helping the team win a SLC title. In his second year with the program he tutored a pair of the Southland’s top defensive ends. Greenwood Horn finished the year with 14 sacks and John Solomon became a fifth-round draft pick of the Minnesota Vikings. He received his first full-time job at Blinn Junior College where he was the defensive line/assistant special teams coach for two years. The Bucs went 15-5-1 during his stay. Ivicic returned to SHSU in 1995 as the defensive line coach and assistant special teams coordinator. The special teams unit was one of the best in the nation from 1995-98. The Bearkats finished in the nation’s top 25 in net punting each year, including a fourth-place finish in 1995. They also blocked four punts and five each in 1996 and 1997. They were also strong in the return game finishing sixth nationally. In 1999, Ivicic became the defensive line and special teams coordinator at Stephen F. Austin. His punt return unit led the nation with 19.1 yards per return and helped the Lumberjacks to an SLC – its first in 10 years. He remained with SFA through the 2004 season and continued to produce top special teams play while adding the title of linebackers coach in 2001. The following season, the defense finished 13th nationally in pass defense and 10th in run defense. In 2003, they were sixth in pass efficiency defense while the special teams unit blocked six punts. Ivicic moved on to Tarleton State in 2005 as the offensive line coach and special teams coordinator and was there for three years, where he tutored Sam Skidmore, the LSC Offensive Lineman of the Year, before moving back to D-Line in 2006. Ivicic played defensive end for SHSU in 1989 and 1990, after transferring from Blinn JC. Ivicic earned his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from SHSU in 1991 and a master’s degree in kinesiology from SHSU in 1993. Ivicic, and his wife, Deborah, have twins, Lily and Logan.

Eric Buchanan is in his first season working with the Lamar University running backs. Buchanan will be working with a very young stable of backs in 2017 as LU lost its top-two leading rushers from a year ago. Buchanan comes to the Golden Triangle from Iowa Western where he spent the 2016 season working as the Reivers defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator. Iowa Western has left a paper trail of success when it comes to putting its defensive backs in four years schools. Just since 2001, 18 members of the Reivers’ secondary have gone on to play at four-year institutions, including 16 at the NCAA Division I level. Of those 16, 12 signed

scholarships at the FBS level. That list includes five all-conference and all-region players and one All-American. It was no different during Buchanan’s time on staff. Buchanan went to Iowa Western following an internship at TCU. Buchanan worked with the Horned Frogs’ defensive backs and specials teams during the 2015 season. That season, TCU posted an 11-2 overall record and finished seventh in the polls after a victory in the Alamo Bowl. Buchanan played his collegiate football at TCU after a standout prep career at DeSoto High School. Buchanan was a four-year letterwinner for TCU where he worked his way into the starting lineup as a junior. He received his bachelor’s degree from TCU in 2006. Following his graduation, Buchanan was invited to play in the inaugural Texas vs. the Nation High School All-Star game. Buchanan was an undrafted free agent signee by the Dallas Cowboys in 2007, and he played professionally with the Dallas Desperados. Buchanan and his wife, Ciji, have two sons, Eric and CJ.

Jamal Powell

Wide Receivers

Kevin Brown is in his first season as the Cardinals’ wide receivers coach after spending five years on staff with Larry Coker at UTSA. Brown will take over a young crop of LU receivers for the 2017 season. Originally hired as a UTSA’s tight ends coach for the 2011 season, Brown was eventually promoted to offensive coordinator. He spent four years as the offensive coordinator, while coaching the Roadrunners’ quarterbacks. He helped a very young UTSA program record above .500 records (8-4 in 2012 and 7-5 in 2013) during his first two seasons on campus. During his time in San Antonio, Brown’s offenses also produced eight all-conference selections. Brown has a very strong knowledge of the Southland Conference. Prior to joining the Roadrunners’ staff, Brown spent four seasons at Texas State where he coached wide receiv-

ers and the Bobcats kickoff return team. During his time in San Marcos, Brown helped coach the Bobcats to a Southland Conference title and an automatic berth in the FCS playoffs. The Bobcats’ run to the Southland title in 2008 marked one of the best single-season turnarounds in the nation. Texas State went from just four wins the year prior to eight during its run to the title. During his short time in San Marcos, Brown produced four All-Southland receivers. Brown’s first coaching stint came at his alma mater, where he spent two years working as an offensive graduate assistant at TCU. During that time, the Horned Frogs won the 2005 Houston Bowl and the 2006 Poinsettia Bowl. Following a standout prep career, Brown spent four seasons as a receiver at TCU where he worked his way into the starting lineup during his junior year. During his four years on campus, the Horned Frogs won two WAC titles and a Conference USA championship and played in four bowl games. Brown received his bachelor’s degree in business administration from TCU in 2002. He also has two master’s degrees from TCU – Master of Education (2004) and Master of Liberal Arts (2006). He, and his wife Erika, have been married for 10 years.

After spending two seasons at James Madison, where he produced one of the nation’s top offensive fronts, Jamal Powell joins the Lamar University coaching staff where he will work with the Cardinals offensive linemen. During Powell’s two years with JMU, he helped produce a dominant line that guided the Dukes to a 14-1 (.933) overall record and the 2016 FCS National Championship. The Dukes closed the season winning their final 12 games and posted a perfect 8-0 record in Colonial Athletic Association games. The Dukes set several conference records, including marks for scoring (700 points), rushing offense (4,125), total offense (7,612) and first downs (380). Nationally, JMU led the FCS in winning percentage, completion percentage (70.8) and team pass efficiency (181.69). JMU also ranked second nationally in scoring (46.70 ppg), fourth in third-down conversions (50 percent), fifth in rushing yards (275.0), sixth in fumbles lost (4), eighth in turnover margin (1.13) and 10th in turnovers lost (13). JMU’s offense also produced 18 100-yard rushing performances. Among all the records being set, Powell also

coached three players to all-conference honors, including a pair of All-Americans. Powell came to JMU from West Virginia State, where he was the run game coordinator and offensive line coach, as well as the program’s strength and conditioning coach. Before WVSU, Powell held the same title at Seton Hill University. He has also had stints as a coach at Texas A&M (graduate assistant coach/offensive line), Centre College (run game coordinator/offensive line) and Southwest Baptist University (run game coordinator/offensive line). During his time at Texas A&M, he coached three All-Big 12 linemen, two which were selected in the NFL Draft. At Centre College, Powell coached 13 All-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference offensive linemen, three of which earned All-South Region honors and one that was a two-time All-American. He also coached one all-conference lineman each at SBU and WVSU. Powell spent time playing for four different professional football organizations, including time with the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans. He also spent two seasons in the Canadian Football League. A native of Houston, Powell played collegiate football at TCU where he was a first-team All-Conference USA selection and All-America honoree. He closed out his career by receiving consideration for the Rimington Trophy, and was named the C-USA Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year. The four-year letterwinner graduated from TCU with a degree in speech communications and a minor in business. Powell and his wife Rachel have two daughters, Jaden and Ellison, and a son, William.

The Chanticleers recorded a 38-14 decision to spoil Big Red’s season opener. The loss ended a string of three-straight season opening wins for the Cards. Senior running back Kade Harrington seemed to pick up where he left off last season as he carried the ball 28 times for 207 yards and two touchdowns. The Cardinals (0-1) ended the night with 391 yards of total offense, while Coastal had 407. In a battle of preseason player of the year candidates, Harrington outshined the Chanticleers (1-0) De’Angelo Henderson who ended the night with 28 carries for 158 yards and two scores. Henderson continued his NCAA Division I streak of 27-straight games with a touchdown carry. The first half was a much different story as the Cardinals stormed out to an 11-point advantage. LU’s defense kept Coastal off balance forcing the visitors to punt the ball away four times in the opening 30 minutes, and took advantage of two missed field goals. Trailing by three points early, the Cardinals took their first lead of the game when Harrington closed out the opening quarter with a 59-yard run. Harrington’s touchdown scamper came on the second play of the drive. The second quarter remained a defensive struggle until the 2:38 mark when the Cardinals again turned to Harrington who scampered 64 yards for a score - again, on the second play of the drive. The Cards took a 14-3 advantage into the locker room but the momentum turned less than five minutes into the third quarter. Big Red appeared to be driving for another score when Carson Earp’s pass was intercepted at the CCU 29 yard line by the Chanticleers’ Richie Sampson and returned 71 yards for the touchdown. Coastal converted on the twopoint conversion to pull within three-points, 14-11. After forcing a three-and-out on the next series, the Chanticleers were able to reclaim the lead. Coastal used a 31-yard Chris Jones punt return to set up their second touchdown of the half. The Chanticleers ended the night by tacking on three more scores (two touchdowns and a field goal), including one with nine seconds on the clock to close out the scoring. Earp finished the night 13-of-27 for 154 yards and two interceptions. He also carried the ball eight times for 25 yards. LU’s defense was led by sophomore Davon Jernigan who recorded 14 tackles, including nine solo stops.

The Cougars defeated LU, 42-0, at TDECU Stadium in a game that was delayed more than three hours due to lighting. It was the first time the Cardinals have failed to score since the 2012 regular-season finale. The Cougars finished the game with 511 yards of total offense, while holding LU to 73. The majority of Houston’s damage came on the ground as the Cougars rushed for 381 yards and had three players with more than 100 yards rushing. Senior running back Kade Harrington was held to 23 yards rushing against one of the nation’s top rush defenses. Junior quarterback Andrew Allen came on in relief and was effective in the second half completing 6-of-9 (.667) passes for 44 yards. The Cougars struck first when Kyle Potsma scored from 39 yards out on the fourth play of drive. After forcing a three-and-out, the Cougars got the ball back and appeared to be on the march for another score but LU’s defense shut down the drive forcing a 31-yard field goal that ricocheted off the upright. It was a similar story on the Cougars next possession. Houston took over from their own 49 and moved the ball down to the LU three before the Cards held on downs. It was one of four trips inside the LU 20 where UH came away empty handed. Following the defensive stand, Mother Nature took control of the game forcing a three-hour and 12-minute rain delay. The Cougars scored shortly after the delay ended posting a four-play, 36yard drive that lasted 53 seconds. Car gave Houston a 20-0 advantage midway through the second quarter when he capped a 13-play, 91-yard drive with a two-yard run. The Cougars tacked on two more scores to push their advantage to 28-0. Due to the weather delay, both teams agreed to a five-minute halftime but it didn’t effect Houston. The Cougars scored on their first drive of the half when Postma crossed the goal line on a quarterback keeper from five yards out. The play capped a seven-play, 40-yard drive and gave UH a 35-0 lead. After recording their second goal line stand of the game, the Cardinals gave the ball right back fumbling it away on their own 23. Houston responded with a Josh Burrell – son of 1992 U.S. Olympian Leroy Burrell – touchdown 68 seconds later for the final points of the game.

The Bearkats (2-0/1-0 Southland) jumped out to a 30-3 first-half lead and held on in the fourth quarter to hand LU its third consecutive loss. The Bearkats racked up nearly 600 yards of total offense (598), including 270 on the ground. The Cards recorded 325 of their 405 yards in the second half. SHSU’s defense made preseason All-America Kade Harrington the center of their focus Saturday holding the Kingwood, Texas native to 76 yards on 25 carries. On the flip side, SHSU had three backs rush for at least 50 yards in the contest, led by Corey Avery who finished the night with 136 yards and a score on 17 carries. The Bearkats got the first score of the game less than 90 seconds into the contest as Avery capped a five-play, 75-yard drive with a nine-yard touchdown run. SHSU held the 7-0 advantage for the next nine minutes until LU mounted a scoring drive of its own. The Cards had an 18-play, 54yard drive that stalled on the Kats’ 27 yard line. Senior Alex Ball came in and booted a 44-yard field goal to put Big Red on the scoreboard, but that would be LU’s only points of the half. SHSU answered with their second touchdown of the game less than two minutes later. The Bearkats tacked on two more points when LU was called for intentional grounding in the end zone. Leading by 13 with less than five minutes remaining the half, the Bearkats’ closed out the opening stanza with two more scores. It was a different story in the second half. LU started the half with a 79-second drive that ended with Andrew Allen connecting with Zae Giles from 56 yards out. The score didn’t change for the next 10 minutes until SHSU was able to answer back. LU answered with a fake field goal that resulted in a TD cutting the deficit to 20 points. Big Red was able to pull within 13 but could get no closer against the nation’s third-ranked team. Allen finished the game 19-of-36 for 178 yards and two touchdowns, while Briscoe was 24of-35 for 328 yards and three scores for the Kats. He was also picked off twice in the contest. Allen’s favorite target was Giles who hauled in a career-high seven passes for 93 yards and a score.

The Cardinals posted their best defensive effort of the season to snap a three-game slide to start the year. Langley led a defensive effort that surrendered a season best 14 points to the Lions and 356 yards of total offense. The Cards (1-3/1-1 SLC) finished the night with two players recording double-digit tackles – senior Xavier Bethany (13) and Chaston Brooks (11). While Big Red’s defense kept Southeastern Louisiana off balance, the LU offense methodically began to take control of the game. The Cardinals finished the night with 398 yards of total offense, including 268 yards on the ground. Senior running back Kade Harrington recorded the 16th 100-yard rushing game of his career carrying the ball 23 times for 143 yards and a score against the Lions. All five of LU’s touchdowns came on the ground Saturday as senior Carson Earp – who got the start at quarterback – carried the ball 11 times for 79 yards and two scores. Earp also completed 9-of-15 passes for 130 yards. Beaumont Freshman Kendrick King and junior Andrew Allen also rushed a score. King scored the game’s opening touchdown when he carried the ball in from six yards out. His score capped a seven-play, 80-yard drive with 3:33 remaining in the opening quarter. LU’s defense got the ball back 65 seconds later after forcing a three-and-out and a blocked punt from sophomore Zae Giles. After an incomplete pass, Earp called his own number and carried the ball in from 17 yards out for the score. The Cardinals took their 14-point advantage into halftime, and pulled away in the second half to pick up their first win of the season. LU was able to pull away due to Langley’s two second-half interceptions which came on consecutive possesions and set up LU scores. Langley’s three picks equaled a record only seen two other times in program history. Langley tied former Cardinals Donald Rawls (1983 vs. Louisiana Tech) and Pat Gibbs (1971 vs. Arkansas State).

ABILENE, Texas – Lamar University made it consecutive wins by knocking off Abilene Christian, 38-10, at Shotwell Stadium in Abilene, Texas. The Cardinals (2-3/2-1 Southland) continued their dominance over ACU in Abilene improving to 7-2 all-time on the road in the series. The Cards racked up 520 yards of total offense, including 309 on the ground. Senior Kade Harrington finished the night with the 17th 100-yard rushing game of his career. The Kingwood, Texas native carried the ball 23 times for 145 yards and a touchdown. He also hauled in two passes for 89 yards. Big Red held the Wildcats (0-6/0-4 SLC) to 306 yards of total offense. The Cardinals also held the football 16 minutes longer than ACU. Senior Carson Earp was once again effective at quarterback completing 16-of-19 passes (.842) for 211 yards and a touchdown. The Wildcats took the opening drive and moved the ball deep into Cardinals territory before the drive stalled. ACU had the ball down inside the LU 20, but a fumble halted the drive. Big Red took its first lead of the game early in the second quarter when they capped a nine-play, 81-yard drive with a 38-yard run around the right side from sophomore Zae Giles. The Cardinals were back on the attack after the defense forced the Wildcats to the punt the ball away on its next possession. The Cards once again used a time-consuming drive moving the ball down to the ACU fouryard line to set up a 22-yard field goal attempt from Ball, which he booted through the uprights. The Cardinals tacked on their final score of the half with less than a minute remaining. Earp found Giles in the back of the end zone from six yards out to give the Red and White a 17-3 lead heading into the locker room. The Cardinals jumped on ACU for two quick scores in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. In what is becoming a common sight for LU fans, the Cardinals first score of the second half was set up by a Brendan Langley interception - the third consecutive game Langley has picked off a pass.Abilene Christian could only mount one scoring drive in the second half.

CONWAY, Ark. – Lamar University recorded one of its best defensive performances of the season against the 20th-ranked Central Arkansas Bears, but it wasn’t enough as the short-handed Cardinals fell, 22-12, at Estes Stadium. The loss snapped LU’s (3-4/3-2 Southland) three-game win streak. The Cards were never able to find their rhythm offensively recording 220 yards of total offense. The Bears finished the night with 330 yards. LU’s defense was led by Davon Jernigan’s a game-high 13 tackles. Junior Andrew Allen came on in relief of starter Carson Earp and finished the night completing 17-of-37 passes for 151 yards.. LU scored on the opening drive after DeWan Thompson hauled in a 15-yard reception over the middle on 3rd-and-9 to keep the drive alive. That catch led to a 30-yard field goal to give the Cards a 3-0 advantage. It was the Bears’ specials teams that came to the aid of its offense in the opening half. After a 58-yard punt from senior Juan Carranco, the Bears Tremon Smith set up the game’s first touchdown with a 65-yard punt return. Three plays later UCA was in the end zone on a seven-yard run from Keshawn Ledet. The Bears tacked on a 19-yard field goal six minutes later to take a 10-3 advantage. It was a special team’s miscue that led to Big Red’s next score. After forcing LU to punt the ball away from deep in its own territory, UCA had the opportunity to get the ball back in good field position but the punt was fumbled away. The Cards recovered the ball and moved it down to the UCA 19 to set up Carranco’s second field goal pulling LU within four, 10-6, heading into half. The Bears opened the second half on a 9-0 run to take a 19-6 advantage. After the Cardinals came up with a stop, UCA punted the ball away which was downed at the LU one-yard line. The punt was critical as freshman Austin Krautz would be dropped in the end zone two plays later to give UCA a 12-6 lead. After kicking the ball away, the Bears mounted a four-play, 56-yard drive that ended with a 20-yard pass reception to Kelton Warren. Big Red tacked on the game’s final score with the aid of a couple of penalties. The UCA miscues allowed the Red and White to move the ball inside the five-yard line where Allen called his own number from two yards out. LU went for two but came up short trailing the Bears by 10, 22-12. The Cardinals got the ball back only one other time and could come no closer.

BEAUMONT, Texas – A 22-yard scoring strike from Carson Earp to DeWan Thompson with six seconds on the clock handed Lamar University a thrilling victory Northwestern State Saturday, 32-31. Trailing by as many as 13 points with less than two minutes remaining LU scored two touchdowns in the final 1:43 of the contest to record the victory. The victory was the program’s first over Northwestern State (1-5/0-4 SLC) since bringing back the sport. It is also the first time the Cardinals have won three consecutive games since the 1989 season. Although only holding the lead for the final six seconds of the contest, the Cardinals outgained Northwestern State, 561 to 410. The Demons were only able to inflict damage on the ground as the LU defense held Northwestern State to 20 passing yards. Sophomore Cameron Hampton led the Cards’ defense with 16 tackles, while senior defensive back Brendan Langley picked off a pass for the fourth consecutive game – his sixth of the season. Earp completed 29 passes for a career-high 412 yards and four touchdowns, and carried the ball six times for 63 yards. After not having a receiver record 100 receiving yards in a game this season, the Red and White finished Saturday’s game with two, Zae Giles and DeWan Thompson. Giles hauled in 10 receptions for 118 yards, while Thompson had four catches for 139 yards and two scores. The situation was bleak early as the Demons raced out to a 17-3 lead and held that advantage for nearly the whole first half. LU got the ball back with 3:02 remaining looking to take back some of the momentum heading into the locker room. Earp orchestrated a 14-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 10-yard pass to senior Michael Handy for his first touchdown grab of the season, but the point after was blocked leaving the Cards with an eight-point deficit heading into halftime. The Cards got the ball with 2:50 on the clock trailing by 13, and that is when Earp put together one of the best comebacks in program history. For the Cardinals it was their first victory over Northwestern State since the 1979 season, which was also the last time LU defeated the Demons in Beaumont.

The Huskies scored the first 17 points of the second half to build an insurmountable lead as they racked up 395 yards of total offense. LU’s offense struggled to find its rhythm as the quarterback carousel continued due to all of the injuries. In the past two weeks, the Cardinals (3-5/3-3 Southland) have lost five starters, four quarterbacks and had to burn two redshirts. Freshman Case Robinson, who came on in relief of Andrew Allen, was solid in his first collegiate game. He completed 7-of-12 passes for 66 yards and a score, but his opportunity didn’t last long as he was knocked from the game in the second half. That is when LU handed the ball to another freshman – Adam Morse – who completed seven passes for 54 yards and a touchdown. Freshman Austin Krautz recorded a career effort carrying the ball 21 times for 114 yards, including a season-long rush of 56 yards. Linebacker Cameron Hampton led a defensive effort with 10 total stops on the night. After trailing the Huskies 7-0 early, Robinson guided LU down the field midway through the first on a four-play, 60-yard drive that ended with a six-yard strike to sophomore Zae Giles. The game would remain tied for the next 20 minutes before senior Juan Carranco gave the Cardinals a three-point advantage, 10-7, on a 26-yard field goal, HBU came out of the locker room to start the second half with all of the momentum. The Huskies forced LU to punt on its first four series of the half and took advantage with a field goal and two touchdowns. The Cardinals had an opportunity to pack it in after HBU took the lead but instead went back to work. Morse injected some energy into the Cardinals lineup with a little help from the Cardinals defense. After recovering a fumble at midfield, Krautz carried the ball for four yards down to the HBU 46. Morse followed with an 11-yard strike to Giles, then handed it off to Hamshire-Fannett’s Kendrick King for a three-yard gain. After senior Michael Handy hauled in a 20-yard pass, Morse hit pay dirt on the next play when he found sophomore DeWan Thompson in the end zone for the score but that would be the final points of the game.

Nicholls jumped out to a 21-3 first half lead and held on for a 35-10 victory. It was the third consecutive loss for the Cardinals who fall to 3-6 on the season, and 3-4 in Southland play. It was a case of too many miscues for the LU offense at Guidry Stadium. The Cardinals finished the game with two turnovers (one fumble and one interception), but were stung with numerous bad snaps, including two on consecutive plays, which forced the Cardinals to punt the ball away after starting a drive 1st-and-goal from the Nicholls’ five yard line. The Cardinals could manage just 241 yards of offense and were held to minus 14 yards rushing. Nicholls finished the game with 404 yards of offense including 235 on the ground. Freshman Adam Morse was 19-of-37 for 255 yards and a touchdown in his first career start. The Colonels cracked the scoreboard first as Chase Fourcade led the Colonels on a 13-play, 66-yard drive that ended with a nine-yard run from Fourcade for the score. The 7-0 advantage stood until 11:55 of the second quarter when Morse moved LU deep into Nicholls territory, but the drive stalled forcing LU to kick the field goal. Nicholls responded just over two minutes later when Fourcade hit Damion Jeanpiere on the far sideline. Jeanpiere spun away from a defender and took the ball 25 yards for the score. Nicholls’ Mason Boudreaux cashed in on an LU turnover with a four-yard TD run up the middle. After moving the ball deep into Nicholls territory, consecutive bad snaps forced the Cards to punt the ball away. The miscues would prove costly as Kyran Irvin carried the ball 78 yards down to the LU 2 on the very next play. The Colonels then turned to Boudreaux who punched it in from a yard out for the score. The touchdown gave Nicholls an insurmountable 28-3 advantage as the Red and White didn’t threaten after that. Each team tacked on one final score to close out the game, as Morse found sophomore Zae Giles from 13 yards to close the scoring with 3:14 remaining the clock. Giles finished the night with six catches for 66 yards and a touchdown.

UIW scored 14 unanswered points in the game’s final six minutes to record a 35-28 decision. A game that saw a combined 14 points in the opening half finished with a flurry. The two teams closed out the contest by scoring 49 points in the second half. The game looked like it would be an offensive explosion from the opening kick as the two schools scored their first-half touchdowns within the game’s first 71 seconds but the defenses gained control for the rest of the half. UIW outgained LU by nearly 200 yards (443-254) as Big Red could manage only one offensive score. LU finished the night with 339 yards between kick and punt returns. Freshman quarterback Adam Morse completed 25-of-44 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown. He connected with eight different targets, including sophomore Zae Giles who hauled in 10 receptions for 51 yards. The game started with a bang as Giles took the opening kick 98 yards for a touchdown but the excitement short lived. UIW answered back 57 seconds later when Trent Brittain hit Kody Edwards for a 65-yard touchdown pass to tie the game. That would be the game’s final score until 13:11 remaining in the third quarter. As if following the script from the start of the game, the Cards got another special teams’ score to start a half. After forcing a three-and-out, senior Brendan Langley fielded a punt on his own 10 and returned it 90 yards for a TD as LU reclaimed a seven-point advantage. Just like Giles’ opening kick return, it was the first time LU had returned a punt for a score this season. Trailing by seven points the visitors answered back with two touchdown runs to take a seven-point lead, 35-28. After being forced to punt the ball away with 1:30 on the clock, it appeared the game was over, but the LU defense forced UIW to punt the ball back in just 20 seconds giving the LU offense one more shot with 1:10 remaining. Despite moving the ball into UIW territory, there were unable to get the ball in the end zone.

The Pokes (6-5/5-4 Southland) took the opening drive and popped a quick 29-yard pass from James Tabary to Tavari Batiste that put them on the 6-yard line. Ross Ryan punched it in on the ground. LU (3-8/3-6 SLC) looked to be winning the battle of field position in the first quarter, but MSU flipped that with an 18-play, 94-yard drive. On that drive, capped by a three-yard rush from Dylan Long to score, McNeese converted four third downs. The drive spanned more than eight minutes. MSU’s third scoring drive was 84 yards, but only in three plays. It started with a flea flicker completion to Darious Crawley for 63 yards, which moved McNeese from its 16 to LU’s 21. On the ensuing kickoff, McNeese squibbed it which landed at the LU 43. Freshman Adam Morse connected with Michael Handy. Morse eventually completed three more passes on the drive but it stalled out and LU settled for a field goal. In its first drive in the fourth quarter, Lamar took over on the McNeese 36 after Tanner Kanteman forced a fumble fell on by Koby Couron. After two incompletions and a four-yard run from Austin Krautz, Morse scrambled left on fourth down and found senior Martell Hawthorne wide open and walked in for a 32-yard touchdown reception, cutting the lead to 35-10. The Cardinals finished with 229 total yards of offense on 79 plays. Morse was 24-of-62 for 182 passing yards and had one touchdown with two interceptions. His second interception was on a last-ditch effort on a fourth down play. Zae Giles was his favorite target for 47 yards on nine receptions, both team leads. Kendrick King rushed for 25 yards on seven rushes. He and Krautz (six rushes, 17 yards) led the team’s 34 rushing yards. McNeese racked up 452 total yards, the third most Lamar has given up all season, on 294 passing and 158 rushing yards. Tabary was 18-of-29 for 235 yards and a touchdown. He threw to Batiste four times for 57 yards and Highshaw three times for 47. Justin Pratt was the team leader for 47 yards on nine rush.six catches for 66 yards and the score.

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 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 the unbelievably young age of 19 became head coach at South E.A. “Beans” LaBauve was a Park High School 1979 inductee to the Cardinals in 1926. Hall of Honor. 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 in the mud and rain in Greenie Stadium on Thanksgiving Day. A blocked punt at the 3-yard line John Gray became head coach led to the game’s in 1932 and compiled a 40-30-4 only touchdown. record over eight seasons. 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 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 many other hard-nosed veterans, Bum Phillips returned from the war and captained the 1946 team that launched its season with an 83-0 dismantling of Decatur Baptist College. The Cardinals registered five other shutouts in 1946, and Bob Frederick starred they outscored their opponents in football, basketball and baseball at Lamar. 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 in 1960 as 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 J.B. Higgins coached Lamar’s only went 8-4, includ- undefeated team to an 8-0-2 record ing a 5-2 mark in in 1957. 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 durable and reliable quarterbacks. 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 Sammy Carpenter had Lamar’s first yards, Fontenot 1,000-yard rushing season with led the team in 1,005 yards in 1951. 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 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 eventu-

Lamar Football ally 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’ losses that season were by a combined eight points – 33-28 to the San Diego Marines, 13-12 to Texas A&I and 1917 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 Jake David was an All-Southland Conference player for the for 130 yards. Cardinals in 1965 & 1966. 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

Lamar Football 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 from the I Formation on offense to the Wishbone T. With 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 Coach Vernon Glass guided the yards for the season. Cardinals to Southland Confer A first-quarter ence Championships in 1964, field goal of 41 yards 1965, 1966 & 1971. 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, linebacker 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 games, but the season-opening 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 21Lynn Bock holds the record for the 17 over New two longest punts in Lamar history Mexico State in Week 3. They (86 and 80 yards). 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 his sophomore season when he rushed for 222 yards and two TDs in a 30-7 victory over Prairie View A&M. He surpassed the 200-yard barrier 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 Burton Murchison led duties. They combined to Division I-AA with 1,547 pass for 1,772 yards and rushing yards in 1985. 10 touchdowns, and Derek Anderson led the receiving corps with 34 catches for 575 yards and three TDs.

Lamar Football 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-from-behind 2217 victory over McNeese State before a crowd of 3,263 in Cardinal Stadium. The 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 Eugene Seale was a Division I-AA in their return All-American linebacker and the Southland Defensive Player of the Year to the gridiron in 2010 under in 1984. new head coach Ray Woodard. Seven individual and eight team records fell during

Lamar Football 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. Following a 3-8 (.273) record in 2016, the university hired Mike Schultz to take over the program. The architect of some the high-powered TCU offense, Schultz became the program’s ninth head coach (as a four-year institution) and just the second head coach since the program was brought back prior to the 2010 season. During the offseason, All-American Brendan Langley was taken in the third round of the NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos with the 101st overall pick. Langley became the first Cardinal selected in the draft since 1990, and the highest Cardinal selection since the 1968 season.
