Scoreless with 8:45, but Lamar is about to punch it in. ACU went 3 and out. We are playing like crap to start 2026.

Yep, Cat defense can't stop anything right now. 7-0 Lamar over ACU. Meanwhile EKU just scores a TD to go up first over WCU...

Lamar 7-0 over ACU w/ 9:49 left in the 2nd qtr.
EKU 7-7 at WCU w/ 9:47 left in the 2nd qtr.
UNA 7-0 over Samford after finally scoring w/ 8:38 left in the 2nd qtr.

Lamar 14-7 over ACU at the half. ACU finds some rhythm after changing QBs from Tucker Parks to John David Black, but then the defense folds.
EKU 14-10 over WCU at the half after they let WCU get back down the field at the end of the 2nd.
UNA 16-7 over Samford after a safety, but couldn't stop the TD. Then they score at the end of the 2nd.

Offense: Redshirt Freshman QB, running game not getting much, hopefully Latham and Hensley can get some open looks after half time

Defense: Same ole, same ole, defensive coordinator, JJ, just doesn't get the job done. NO way should you let a team take the ball at the 10 yard line and march down the field with 2 min before halftime.

WCU gets the ball to start the 3 quarter, need the defense to step up, getting a stop could be big.

We have so many new moving parts that it was certainly a first half of the year. New OC and HC no longer calling plays. Tons of new defensive players.

You guys just need to keep it up through the 2nd half.

Hopefully. Samford is gonna be much improved this season under longtime Jax State HC Grass.

EKU still struggling on both sides at the moment. Hopefully they can get some momentum back.

I am still not impressed with much of anything ACU has to offer so far: poor blocking, penalty laden, passive secondary and poor run defense. Our offense can't get any real rhythm, and Lamar has pretty much controlled the whole game, even if it isn't high scoring.

Lamar 21-7 at the beginning of the 4th qtr, ACU just sucks right now.
WCU 24-14 after just scoring w/ 8:31 left in 3rd and just recovered an onside kick.
UNA 16-7, at least UNA is holding on to the lead right now w/ 8:44 left in the 3rd qtr.

Tarleton QB very impressive

Tarleton Defense meh

TSU leads 14-7 over Prairieview

Tarleton poor tacking needs to improve greatly

Hopefully is just rust and will get better as the game progresses

Lions up 22-10 in the 4th.

Offense is fine. Defense still sucks. Rinse and repeat 2026.

ACU loses 21-14 trying to convert a 4th down in the red zone. We converted but got called for holding. ACU had 12 penalties for 106 yards, completely inexcusable.

WCU running up the score unnecessarily now, uncalled for.

Same feelings back EAST..thoughly disgusted...a change at the top was needed last year...yet, here we are...again! Only bright spot, first start for our redshirt QB, he did okay for his first collegiate start. Otherwise, nothing else to write home about!

UNA 22-10 over Sam - Final, nice win.

Thank goodness.

Tarleton 28-12 less than two minutes in 1st half

Prairieview A&M is better than I ever remember them

Kudos to their HC Jackson.
