UCAFANS.COM | GO UCA BEARS!

Not a team to take for granted....especially with banged up Bears....hope we get LW back and Coach suggest we are going to see maybe all of our freshmen QBs and see who has the hot hand...yikes....

This has all the marks of a trap game for Bears....

Sounds like defense needs to be extra good and the RBs running hard....special teams once again could be key....

Looks like TSU and UCA have never played in football....Texans have played all the other AIC football schools but never UCA....

Tarleton in D1 transition but like UCA when in that stage believe they can win every game....I have a friend whose daughter is an athlete for Tarleton and she says the Tarleton community expects good results in all sports...not unlike UCA....

Texans record this season is 5-5 overall and 4-1 at home....1-4 in AQ7 play...

L @SFA, 10-20
W vs Ft Lewis, 54-7
L @ Southern Utah (Big Sky), 35-40
W vs New Mexico Highlands, 40-21
L @ EKU, 3-20
W @ Dixie State, 41-20
W vs Midwestern State, 17-14
L vs SHS, 27-45
W vs Lamar, 42-21
L @ ACU, 3-29

While 1-4 in AQ7, only the ACU game seems like an oddball.....these teams are well know to us and they played respectable or better....take a look at most recent AQ7 home win vs Lamar...

TSU/LU:

Rush 138/402avg/4TDs (long of 15) vs 190/402avg/2TDs (long of 42)

Total 453 v 271
Punts 2/44avg vs 7/40avg
3rd conversions 9-13 vs 8-15
Redzone scores 6-7 vs 1-1

Scoring drives:
TSU - 8/75, 7/80, 8/56, 10/70, 6/76, 9-45
LU - 13/68, 11/67, 7-75

Steven Duncan was QB with all the throws....plus 22 rush yards
7 RBs had a carry.....5 between 21 and 34 yards....
10 receivers had at least one catch....5 had three each....Marvin Landy led with 3/91....Cody Jones was next at 3/73 and a TD....

Pretty good job of slowing LU down....something we struggled with.....

Let's not overlook that Head Coach Todd Whitten is 84-40 at TSU in 12 years and 109-68 in overall NCAA games over 17 seasons.....3rd stint as TSU head coach....QB at SFA and SFA HOF.....coaching history below...

No Breylin Smith.

No passes either.

On third and one with Darius Hale our OC calls a run..... to the sideline.

Pathetic.

Run it FORWARD.

We are gonna lose to Tarleton.

Lose 24-3......

Offense ineffective and defense a little better with some big stops early.....you know you did not play well when the punter is your star of the game....very disappointing end to what turned out to be a disappointing season...really missed Breylin and Lujuan.....thanks to all the seniors and best wishes in their futures....

Go Bears!
