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 all new bench and chair-back seating, new restroom and concession facilities, a new concourse area, and increased handicap accessible seating areas. In addition, 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 Today’s plush and newly renovated 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 Lamar’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 a 77-77-3 record in the stadium, with their longest winning streak being 12 games spanning the 1965-1967 seasons.

Lamar Football Coaching Staff

Ray Woodard

Head Coach – Fifth Season Ray Woodard has been at the helm of the Lamar football program since its resurrection five years ago. Still a very young program, no one could have predicted the success the Cardinals would achieve in year four. Lamar set out to prove all the nay-sayers wrong heading into the 2013 campaign and did so from the opening kickoff. The Cardinals set nine team and individuals records in the season opener. As the season continued, new records fell almost on a weekly basis. Before the season had come to a close, the Cardinals had re-written the records setting nearly 50 team and individual records. In addition to all the records that were being set fans could even look to the Lamar setbacks to see the obvious growth of the program. Lamar traveled to Ruston, La. to face FBS foe Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs were coming off a campaign that saw them climb as high as 18th in the polls the year before, but escaped the game with only a 13-point victory. The Bulldogs scored a late touchdown to build the double-digit lead, and Lamar left 14 points on the field against the highly favored Bulldogs. If a near miss against an FBS opponent wasn’t enough evidence, then Lamar’s conference opener at No. 2 Sam Houston State should’ve wiped away all doubt as the Cards held the two-time national runners-up to 14 points. Lamar also pushed No. 20 Central Arkansas and No. 6 McNeese State to the final possession of the game before the outcome was decided. The 2013 season wasn’t just defined by the near misses. It was also highlighted by thrilling victories, most notable the last second win over rival Stephen F. Austin. In just four short years Woodard’s troops have flipped the series on the rival Lumberjacks. In the inaugural season, Lamar dropped a 72-3 decision to SFA only to watch the margin of victory noticeably decline each year after culminating in a 41-yard field goal from freshman Alex Ball to secure a one-point victory. By season’s end, LU fans had watched quarterback Caleb Berry record the best season by a Lamar quarterback in school history while running back Kade Harrington set a new freshman rushing record. Harrington also highlighted the All-Southland Conference teams earning 2013 Freshman of the Year honors. Harrington led a list of Cardinals that set another record under Woodard’s direction last season. The 2013 version of the Cardinals set a school record for number of players named all-conference (10) in the same season, including the first three first-team selections since the return of the program. In addition to the all-conference selections, Jesse Dickson and Chris Maikranz became the school’s first two All-America selections since the program’s resurrection. All told, Woodard has produced 26 All-SLC selections, including three first-team players, four All-Americans, one Freshman All-America,

22

one CFPA National Punter Returner of the Year, one SLC Newcomer of the Year, one league freshman of the year and a conference student-athlete of the year. Woodard’s troops have made a habit of rewriting the LU record books during his short time in Beaumont. In 2011, the Cardinals set seven individual and six team records. The 2011 season marked the first year Lamar was able to compete as a full member of the Southland Conference and Woodard guided the Cardinals to a pair of conference road wins on their way to a 4-7 overall record and a 2-5 league mark. Lamar made its historic return to the gridiron in 2010. Not only did the Cardinals take the field for the first time since 1989, but they turned a lot of heads with their immediate success. In their very first game - at McNeese State on Sept. 4 - Lamar set a school record with 429 passing yards. McNeese State was ranked 11th in the nation when the Cardinals put a scare into the Cowboys before falling 30-27 in the season opener for both teams. A week later, playing its home opener in front of a redclad crowd of 16,600, Lamar earned its first victory in over two decades by a 21-14 margin over Webber International. Woodard guided the Cardinals to a 5-6 overall record that season, which included a 4-2 home mark while playing in front of capacity crowds in their first four home games. The overall record does not begin to tell the story of the renewed excitement that was returned to the Beaumont campus. Following the season, Woodard was one of five finalists voted for the Southeast Texas Press Club’s 2010 Newsmaker of

Larry Kueck Offensive Coordinator

In his second stint as Lamar’s offensive coordinator, Larry Kueck is entering his 29th season of coaching, and his offense is coming off one of the best seasons of his career. In 2013 Kueck helped orchestrate one of the most prolific offenses in school history, an offense that set numerous team and individual records. The Cardinals scored nearly 34 points per game, and averaged better than 423 yards of total offense. The offense produced stars at every position as Lamar had its quarterback, a running back, receiver and an offensive lineman recognized on the postseason all-conference teams. Junior Caleb Berry recorded the best season for a quarterback in program history under Kueck’s direction. He finished the season setting single-season school records for completions, passing yards, touchdown passes and yards of total offense. Berry was joined in the record breaking session by sophomore receiver Reggie Begelton and freshman running back Kade Harrington. Begelton set a new school record, with his 82 receptions this season, while Harrington set the freshman rushing mark. In three seasons since his return, Kueck

24

has produced 11 All-SLC players, including a freshman and newcomer of the year. During his first tenure in Beaumont, the Lamar passing game also posted school records, recording the previous benchmark for single-season passing yards. Kueck coached quarterback John Evans to school records for single-season and career passing yards. Evans also set the school record for career touchdown passes. Prior to returning to the Texas high school ranks, Kueck spent six seasons as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Marshall. It was in his second stint at the school where he helped Marshall to the FCS (formerly I-AA) national title with a 15-0 record. In his first season back with the Thundering Herd in 2002, Kueck helped the team to an 11-2 record and a 38-15 win over Louisville in the GMAC Bowl. Prior to his return to Marshall, Kueck spent two years as the offensive coordinator at SMU and three in the same position at Southern Mississippi. While in Hattiesburg, the Golden Eagles won a pair of conference titles and made three bowl appearances. Kueck, whose first job in college football was as the offensive line coach at Southwest Oklahoma, also served as the offensive coordinator at Mississippi in 1994. He also has stops at Pacific, Texas Tech, Sam Houston State and Rice. Kueck earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Stephen F. Austin in 1975 and a master’s degree a year later. Kueck, and his wife Rhonda, have two daughters, Megan and Cara.

Craig McGallion Defensive Coordinator

Craig McGallion is entering his fifth season at Lamar, but his first as the defensive coordinator. His previous four seasons have been spent working with the LU linebackers and as the team’s recruiting coordinator. Despite being a young program, Lamar gained respect within the Southland Conference at the linebacker position. Since rejoining the league, the Cardinals have had at least one linebacker recognized on the All-SLC teams. In 2013, senior James Washington continued that tradition. Washington finished fourth on the team with 61 tackles, six for losses and two sacks. He also interceptioned two passes and had 10 pass deflections. McGallion has the unenviable task of trying to reload a defensive unit that graduated nine starters from last year. The Cards took a hit to every position due to attrition, including All-America defensive lineman Jesse Dickson. A former University of Houston standout and long-time defensive coordinator at Silsbee High School, McGallion joined Ray Woodard’s

initial staff at Lamar on June 16, 2008, as an assistant coach. Over the past three seasons of Southland Conference competition, McGallion has seen four of his linebackers earn honorable mention all-league honors. Asim Hicks and Darby Jackson were honored in 2011, while Jermaine Longino was recognized in 2012 after tying for the conference lead with 107 tackles. McGallion came to Lamar after serving on the Silsbee staff under his brother Bobby for 10 years, where the Tigers made the playoffs six times. McGallion spent three seasons as the head coach at Barbers Hill from 1995-98 following a two-year stint at Woodville from 1993-94. The son of the late Silsbee coaching legend Stud McGallion led Woodville to the playoffs in his first season with a 6-4-1 mark. From 1989-93, McGallion spent time in the Cy-Fair Independent School District at both Cy-Fair HS and Cy-Creek HS. He mentored future NFL Pro Bowl selection Sam Adams, who played at Texas A&M, along with Shane Rink, who starred at Texas, while at Cy-Creek. McGallion was a three-year letterman and two-year starter at noseguard for the University of Houston. He received his bachelor’s degree in Education from UH in 1984. He, and his wife Gayle, has a son, Lance, and a daughter, Lacey. Lance is a Lamar University graduate and Lacey earned a degree from Lamar Institute of Technology.

Carey Bailey

Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Line

Former University of Tennessee standout Carey Bailey is in his third season as defensive line coach at Lamar. The former head coach at Howard University brings nearly two decades of coaching experience into his position. The Cardinals’ defensive line gained a ton of recognition in not only the Southland, but across the country last season. Senior end Jesse Dickson became one of the most imposing forces in the country under Bailey’s guidance. Dickson finished the season ranked among the league’s top 10 in tackles, tied for third in sacks and was second in tackles for losses. National publications began to take notice of Dickson’s work on the field. Shortly after receiving first-team All-Southland honors, Dickson was named the SLC Defensive Player of the Year by College Sports Madness. He followed that up by becoming Lamar’s first All-America selection since it resurrected the program. Between Dickson, and classmate Mark Murrill at the other end, LU had one of the Southland’s more dominant one-two punches. The duo combined to record 119 total tackles, 25 tackles for losses, 7.5 sacks and one interception in 2013. Throw in sophomore Omar Tebo (37 tackles, 6 TFLs) who fought his way into the starting lineup despite his underclass-

26

man status, and Bailey’s troops presented a very imposing force. Bailey also coached the nation’s second best punt return squad, led by CFPA Punter Returner of the Year Kevin Johnson. A second-team All-SLC selection, Johnson tied for the nation’s lead with two returns for TDs in 2013. Bailey has coached 14 players who went on to play professional football, and has coached 20 all-conference players and five All-Americans. Prior to taking the top spot at Howard in 2007, Bailey spent two seasons as the defensive line coach at Minnesota. The Gophers played in a pair of bowl games during that time. He also served as defensive line coach at Oklahoma State (2004) and Middle Tennessee State (2003). Bailey spent five seasons at Louisiana-Lafayette (1998-2002) coaching the defensive line, special teams and linebackers. During Bailey’s tenure, the Ragin’ Cajuns ranked second in the Sun Belt Conference in total defense, twice led the league in punt returns and also led the league in fumbles recovered and sacks. His first full-time coaching job came at Virginia Military Institute where he was defensive line coach from 1995-98. Bailey also worked at West Virginia University as a graduate assistant. While a player at Tennessee, Bailey helped the Volunteers to a pair of Southeastern Conference championships and four straight bowl appearances. As a junior, Bailey led Tennessee in sacks and tackles for loss. He earned his diploma from Tennessee in 1992. Bailey and his wife Angela have two daughters, Evann Leigh and Leah Nicole.

Chuck Langston Offensive Line

Chuck Langston is in his second year working with the Lamar offensive line. He came to Beaumont after spending the 2012 season with Central Oklahoma. Langston will be charged with the responsibility of reloading the Cards’ offensive front after the loss of a four-year anchor at center, Kyle Gillam. The team’s starter since the day LU resurrected the program, Gillam blossomed into one of the Southland’s top offensive linemen during his career. He concluded his four years by receiving second-team all-conference honors last season. Langston brings over a decade of college coaching experience to Lamar. Additionally, he knows Southeast Texas after starring at West Brook High School, and he played collegiately at the highest level as a three-year starter for the University of Oklahoma. Before joining Lamar, Langston spent three years as the head coach and athletics director at Trinity (Texas) High School after one season at Groveton (Texas) High School as the

special teams coordinator. Langston then moved to the college ranks where he spent five seasons as the head coach at NCAA Division II Central Oklahoma.

Lamar Football Coaching Staff

Ben Beasley Secondary

Ben Beasley joined the Lamar coaching staff in February 2014 working with the Cardinals’ secondary. A veteran of coaching within the Southland Conference, Beasley comes to Beaumont following a highly successful stint at Sam Houston State. “Ben brings a ton of experience from within the league to Lamar,” said Woodard. “He has coached a lot of successful secondary units at Sam Houston, and we are all very familiar with what they have accomplished in recent years. I’ve also run into him quite a bit on the recruiting trails and I’ve been impressed with how hard of a worker he is when recruiting talent.” Having worked at three other Southland schools, Beasley has made a career out of converting defensive backs into a formidable unit. During his time in Huntsville, he helped coach the Bearkats to one of the most successful runs in school history. National runners up in two of the previous three seasons, Beasley’s secondary finished the 2011 season ranked fourth nationally in pass efficiency de-

28

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

Mark Criner Linebackers

A coaching veteran with more than 20 years experience, including 15 years at the FBS level, and 12 years as a defensive coordinator, Mark Criner is in his first season the Lamar linebackers coach, a position he held at Eastern Michigan in 2013. Prior to his one-year stop at EMU, Criner spent five seasons in Moscow, Idaho, serving as the Vandals’ defensive coordinator and working with the secondary. During that time he helped build one of the top defenses in the Western Athletic Conference. In 2010, the Vandals were one of the most improved defenses in the nation in terms of scoring defense and pass efficiency defense. Idaho improved by more than 40 spots in the national rankings in both categories. The following season the Vandals made a similar jump in the national rankings in rush defense. This came on the heels of a 2009 season that saw Idaho post an 8-5 overall record and a victory in the Humanitarian Bowl. Prior to his move to Moscow, Criner spent one season in Minneapolis, Minn., working with the Gophers. Criner coached the Minnesota linebackers during an 11-2 campaign advancing to the Insight.com Bowl.

Criner made the jump to the Big 10 following two seasons in Murfreesboro, Tenn., where he was the defensive coordinator, and worked with the Middle Tennessee secondary. He took the job with the Blue Raiders following a two-year stint at Cincinnati where he was a co-defensive coordinator working with the Bearcat linebackers. During his two seasons with the Bearcats, Criner helped build one of the nation’s top defenses. The Bearcats finished the 2002 season ranked among the nation’s top 25 in total defense and pass efficiency defense. Cincinnati ended that season in New Orleans Bowl. Cincinnati’s defense was just as tough the following year ranking among the nation’s top 30 in total and pass efficiency defense. Criner left the college game for one season to serve as the defensive coordinator for the Las Vegas Outlaws of the XFL. Criner went to the XFL after spending eight seasons in Portland, Ore., serving as the defensive coordinator, linebackers coach and special teams coordinator for the Portland State Vikings. PSU made a successful jump from the NCAA Division II level, up to NCAA I-AA (now FCS), eventually advancing to the playoffs. Criner’s professional career began at Utah State where he spent two seasons coaching the outside linebackers. A four-year letterwinner at Boise State, Criner received his bachelor’s degree from BSU in 1990. He, and his wife Angie, have four children - daughter Madison, son Calin and twins Jackson and Brooklyn.

Arlington Nunn Wide Receivers

Arlington Nunn is in his first season with the Lamar coaching staff. After eight seasons at Stephen F. Austin working with several different position groups, Nunn comes to Beaumont where he will work with the LU receivers. Nunn has made a name for himself of transforming his athletes into one of the best position groups in the conference. He spent his first three seasons in Nacogdoches working with the receivers where he produced some of the nation’s top talent. Three of Nunn’s receivers earned All-Southland honors, including the school’s top-two all-time leading receivers, and former All-American Dominique Edison would go on to be an NFL draft selection. Following three seasons working with the wideouts, Nunn was asked to take over a struggling Lumberjack secondary. Nunn converted what had been a weak link in the SFA defense into one of the strongest units in the Southland Conference. Under Nunn’s guidance, the Lumberjack secondary went from a conference also-ran to the top pass defense in the league. His first season working with the defensive backs, Nunn produced three All-SLC selections, the SLC Newcomer of the Year and

30

an All-American. Nunn has produced 12 All-SLC selections in the past eight years, including three first-team selections. Nunn has also coached a former conference newcomer of the year, four All-Americans as well helped guide the program to its most successful two-year run in school history, winning back-to-back Southland titles. Nunn originally came to Nacogdoches in 1996 where he spent five seasons working with the ‘Jacks’ linebackers and secondary. He helped tutor two-time All-American and former Pro Bowl linebacker Jeremiah Trotter. He also was a member of the 1999 coaching staff that guided the ‘Jacks to a Southland Football League title. The Clearwater, Fla., native has made stops at Baylor, Navarro Junior College and Sam Houston State before arriving on the SFA campus the first time in 1996. After leaving Nacogdoches, Nunn spent three years as the receivers’ coach at Troy State before moving to Mississippi to coach running backs. A 1991 graduate of Clemson, Nunn was a standout performer for the Tigers, helping Clemson to four-straight 10-2 records and two ACC titles. An Academic All-ACC pick as a junior, Nunn was a member of the Tigers’ topranked defensive unit during his final season. A 20-year college coaching veteran, Nunn holds a Bachelor of Science in marketing from Clemson and a Master of Science in education from Baylor. Nunn and his wife, Monique, are the parents of two daughters, Alyssa (11) and Aria (5).

Lamar set new school marks for points scored, margin of victory, total yards of offense, most touchdown passes, individual touchdown passes (Caleb Berry), team extra points and extra points by an individual (Justin Stout). Lamar wasted no time in cracking the scoreboard. Junior Kevin Johnson caught the first of his two receptions when he hauled in a 13-yard pass from Caleb Berry with 12:39 in first. The Cardinals were back on the attack just over three minutes later following an OPSU fumble. Freshman Kade Harrington cashed in the turnover by recording his first career touchdown on a 13-yard scamper to make it 14-0. The Cardinals forced another fumble on the Aggies’ very next play from scrimmage. Two plays later junior Caleb Berry connected with Payden McVey from 21 yards out to give the Cardinals an insurmountable 21-point lead. Berry completed his third touchdown pass of the night when he connected with Jordan Edwards for a 25-yard scoring strike with 3:44 remaining in the quarter. The second quarter saw more of the same as Lamar scored four more touchdowns to take a 56-point lead. Berry connected with Lamar receivers for scoring plays of 22, 72, and 20 yards, while Harrington added his second career touchdown run. The 72-yard completion was to junior Mark Roberts with 5:22 remaining in the half. While the LU offense was busy lighting up the scoreboard, the Cardinals defense was busy shutting down their visitors from the north. OPSU managed only 180 yards of total offense against an opportunistic defense. Lamar forced seven fumbles recovering four, and picked off two passes. Berry was 17-of-27 for 256 yards and six touchdowns. The Lamar signal callers connected with 10 different receivers, including five who caught a touchdown pass. Berry also carried the ball three times for a team-high 74 yards. He was one of five different Cardinals to rush for at least 42 yards on the night. LU finished with 292 yards rushing on 52 carries.

Louisiana Tech (1-1) escaped the contest with a 27-14 victory, dropping Lamar to 1-1 on the year. LA Tech broke the scoreless tie with 3:40 remaining in the first quarter when Scotty Young found Jacarri Jackson in the end zone from three yards. The score capped a 12-play, 75-yard drive that consumed 4:59 on the clock. LU drove the ball down to the Bulldog 36-yard line on the ensuing drive but a questionable no-call on a would-be touchdown pass, followed by a holding call and a Caleb Berry sack ended the drive. Lamar’s defense forced a three-and-out, and the Cardinals moved the ball to the Bulldogs’ 24 before Berry’s pass was picked off in the end zone by Le’Vander Liggins. Senior Payton Ploch got Lamar on the scoreboard when he ended an 11-play, 54-yard drive with a one-yard run for the score. Ploch’s score, the first touchdown against an FBS opponent since bringing back the program, pulled the Cardinals even with 5:23 in the half, but Louisiana Tech took the advantage into the locker room, 14-7. LA Tech capitalize on a bad punt, and a Lamar penalty to regain a seven-point lead heading into the locker room. Lamar’s offense did more than keep pace with Louisiana Tech in the opening half, outgaining the Bulldogs, 181-173, but the Cards were hurt by miscues. An interception in the end zone, a holding call followed by a sack to end another drive, a 17-yard punt out of their own end zone and an LU personal foul to set up a Bulldog score hurt the Cardinals in the first 30 minutes. Louisiana Tech struck for the first big play of the second half. Following a Kollin Kahler punt that was downed on the Bulldogs’ one-yard line, Tevin King took the first handoff and carried it 64-yards to the Lamar 35. LU’s defense held forcing a 44-yard field goal giving Louisiana Tech a 10-point lead, 17-7, with 3:03 remaining. Lamar got back on the scoreboard with 10:56 remaining when Berry found Jordan Edwards over the middle from 62 yards out. The touchdown pass was Berry’s seventh of the season, and the longest reception of Edwards’ career. The Bulldogs were able to push the lead back to six points just seven plays later when Tech’s Kyle Fischer drilled a 49-yard field goal with 9:04 remaining. On it’s next possession, Lamar moved the football down to the Tech 31 yard line before turning the ball over. LA Tech responded wih a drive that led to a 19-yard Guillot touchdown run for the game’s final tally. Lamar finished the game with 362 yards of total offense, while Tech racked up 266 of its 439 yards in the second half. Berry was 23-of-37 passes for 272 and a score. Edwards led all receivers with five catches for 119 yards and a touchdown. Senior Tyrus McGlothen led the LU with 12 tackles, including eight solo stops. Classmate Jesse Dickson added eight tackles, including one sack.

Lamar was unable to recover dropping a 59-3 decision to the highest-ranked team the Cardinals have faced since bringing the program back, and one of the highest-ranked opponents in program history. Oklahoma State racked up 426 yards of total offense, while Lamar finished with 245, including a 121 on the ground. The Cowboys took a 31-3 lead into the locker room but did most of their damage in the opening 15 minutes. OSU finished the quarter with a 184-83 advantage in total offense, and converted on their first six attempts on third down. OSU took its opening-drive 57 yards on 10 plays which ended with a Desmond Roland score from two-yards out with 9:09 remaining. The Cowboys pushed their advantage to 14 points less than three minutes later when Jeremy Smith scored from four yards out. Leading 31-0, the Cowboys had the ball and appeared to be driving with 1:25 remaining in the half, but LU’s Branden Thomas picked off a pass and returned it 25 yards to set up the Cardinals first score of the game. Kicker Justin Stout cashed in on the OSU turnover by converting a 44-yard field goal to end the half. It is Stout’s longest make since his freshman season. The Cowboys finished the half with 246 yards of total offense. Lamar gained 133 yards in the opening half, behind some strong running from freshman Kade Harrington. The Katy, Texas native, carried the ball eight times for 43 yards in the opening 30 minutes, and finished the game with 20 carries for 62 yards. Berry completed 18 passes for 114 yards.

The Cardinals (2-2) have now outscored opponents 128-0 in their two home games. Harrington led a ground attack that finished with 277 yards, and three touchdowns on 45 carries. Harrington was one of three Cardinals to record at least 57 yards on the ground. Freshman Emmitt Raleigh recorded a game-high 15 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown in his first game. Lamar took the lead less than two minutes into the contest when junior Caleb Berry hooked up with sophomore Reggie Begelton from 20 yards out. Following a missed extra point the score would remain 6-0 almost the rest of the quarter, but the Cardinals would push their lead to 13 points with less than a minute remaining in the first. Berry recorded his second TD pass of the night when he found junior Mark Roberts from four yards out. Leading 20-0, with 10:55 remaining in the second quarter the Cardinals recorded their second safety of the season when Jesse Dickson and Anthony Beard prevented a scrambling Kyle Kuban from escaping the end zone. It was the second of three big plays in less than 60 seconds that put the Cardinals firmly in control of the contest. The Warriors were originally backed up to their own three-yard line when senior Kollin Kahler booted a 59-yard punt, which eventually led to the safety. LU recorded the sack two plays later. Following the kickoff, Harrington took the ball on the very next play and carried 50 yards into the end zone. It was one of two rushes of at least 50 yards (and 72) - and one of two touchdowns on the night for the Kingwood freshman. Despite taking a 36-point lead into the locker room, the first score of the game would be all the defense would need. Led by Dickson and Courtlin Thompson’s team-high eight tackles, Lamar surrendered only 128 yards of total offense. It is the second time this season that an opponent has been unable to gain 200 yards against Lamar. LU was especially stingy when it came to Bacone’s pass offense. The Warriors completed only 3 passes and were picked off four times. In addition to the interceptions, Lamar also finished the game with six sacks, and nine tackles for losses. In addition to his 57 rushing yards, Berry was also 16-of-20 for 174 yards and four touchdowns. Senior Ryan Mossakowski was just as accurate completing 8-of-10 passes for 47 yards. He also carried the ball four times for nine yards and a score. The LU signal callers connected with eight receivers for 220 yards and four touchdowns.

He also carried the ball 13 times for 39 yards. Jordan Edwards led the Cardinals with seven catches for 93 yards, while Reggie Begelton had six catches for 73 yards and a score. Grambling State took advantage of Lamar’s miscues in the first quarter to jump out to a commanding 16-0 lead. After forcing a GSU punt, Lamar took over on its own one yard line, but Grambling’s Phillip McClain broke through the line to drop freshman Kade Harrington in the end zone for the safety to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead. The Tigers added to their lead two minutes later when D.J. Williams found Chester Rogers from 13 yards out. A Caleb Berry interception on the very next play had Grambling State back on the attack. Williams completed a two-yard pass to Brandon Byrdsong to give GSU its 16-point lead. The Cardinals overcame a safety, two interceptions and a missed field goal to cut the lead to six heading into the locker room. Lamar finally cracked the scoreboard when junior Kevin Johnson fielded a punt at the Grambling 48 and returned it the distance for the score. After a Lamar stop, LU was back on the march late in the half. Justin Stout converted a 33-yard field goal to cut the deficit to six points, 16-10, with 46 seconds remaining in the quarter. Stout’s kick capped a 10-play, 63-yard drive. Despite the turnovers, Lamar outgained their hosts, 232-190, in the opening half. GSU only had the ball for 2:08 longer than Lamar in the opening 30 minutes. Lamar came out following the intermission and claimed its first lead of the game when Berry hit Begelton from 32 yards out for the score.

Williams 2-17 HUNTSVILLE, Texas - Lamar held the second-ranked Sam Houston State Bearkats to the fewest points since the 2011 FCS Championship game but the upset bid fell short Saturday evening at Bowers Stadium. The Bearkats (5-1/1-0 SLC) escaped the contest with a 14-3 victory over Lamar. The setback dropped the Cardinals to 3-3 overall and 0-1 in Southland Conference play. Lamar’s defense held Sam Houston State to 343 yards of total offense. The Cardinals outgained the Bearkats for three quarters, and was winning the time of possession battle until the fourth quarter. The Cardinals also held Walter Payton Award candidate Timothy Flanders to less than 100 yards (83) for the first time in four quarters of action since the 2012 FCS Championship game. Lamar’s defensive effort was led by Courtlin Thompson and Jesse Dickson. Both players finished the game with 11 tackles. In the opening half Lamar outgained their hosts by nearly 50 yards, held the ball more than four minutes longer, while not allowing Flanders to be a factor, nine yards on nine carries. Flanders gained 71 of his 83 yards in the fourth quarter. Although Lamar was able to move the ball against the SHSU defense, LU was hurt by costly mistakes at key times. Lamar’s opening drive saw junior quarterback Caleb Berry move the ball deep into Sam Houston territory until a sack forced a 51-yard field goal attempt that was missed wide left. Lamar’s second trip inside Bearkat territory ended with an interception in the end zone and the third a blocked field goal. The Bearkats broke the scoreless tie when quarterback Brian Bell rattled off a 45-yard run for a score with 7:43 remaining. Lamar got the ball back with 3:22 left before halftime and utilized the power running of Kade Harrington and Payton Ploch to move the ball back into SHSU territory. The drive set up an Alex Ball 47-yard field goal with 10 seconds remaining in the half. Lamar went into the locker room down only four points, 7-3. The Bearkats pushed their advantage to 11 points, 14-3, when Bell found Stephen Williams from 18-yards out with 2:58 remaining. The score remained 14-3 until 4:30 remaining in the contest when the game was delayed for more than two hours due to lightning. The game officially resumed at 7:01 but Lamar was unable to get any closer. Berry completed 17 passes for 196 yards, to move into eighth all-time in school history in completions. Berry connected with nine different receivers, led by Mark Roberts’ four catches for 52 yards. Harrington led the Cardinals ground attack with 13 carries for 54 yards.

Lamar took No. 20 Central Arkansas down to the wire but came up short, 26-24, on homecoming. After a combined total of 13 points in the first half, the offenses picked up the pace in the third quarter. Trailing 10-3, UCA took the opening drive 61 yards for a touchdown. Lamar was able to answer a little more than five minutes later when junior Caleb Berry guided Lamar on a four-play drive that covered 42 yards and ended with a Payton Ploch nine-yard reception. It was Ploch’s second touchdown of the season, and his first receiving score. The score gave Lamar back the lead (17-10), but it didn’t last long as the Bears responded on the very next drive. UCA tied the game at 17 when quarterback Ryan Howard found Thomas Hart from three yards out. The Bears claimed their first lead of the game early in the fourth quarter when junior kicker Eddie Camara converted a 31-yard field goal. Following the field goal, LU’s defense went to work shutting down the Bears’ offense. Lamar held UCA scoreless for the next 15:29, which was enough time for Lamar to reclaim the advantage. Berry put together a 16-play, 90-yard drive culminating in a five-yard touchdown pass to sophomore Reggie Begelton. The reception, which gave the Cardinals a 24-20 lead with 6:34 remaining, was one of a career-high 11 for Begelton. He also recorded a career-high 117 yards on the night. The Bears had one last response as they reclaimed the advantage when Courtney Whitehead hauled in a 23-yard TD reception in traffic. Camara’s extra point was blocked keeping the score at 26-24, with 2:46 remaining the contest. Needing only a field goal to claim victory, Lamar was able to move the ball to the UCA 33 setting up a 4th and 2 but Berry’s pass to Begelton sailed out of bounds ending the Cards’ upset attempt. Berry finished the game completing 30 passes for 313 yards and three touchdowns, and connected with seven different receivers. Freshman Kade Harrington led Lamar’s ground attack with 18 carries for 77 yards. He is now just 134 yards shy of setting a new LU freshman rushing record. The Lamar defense was led by Nashon Davis and Jesse Dickson. The duo each finished the game with nine tackles and a sack.

The Cardinals took advantage of the miscue by moving the ball 71 yards on 10 plays which ended with a 19-yard scoring strike from Berry to freshman Michael Handy. Following the Handy touchdown, Southeastern flipped the momentum on the Cardinals scoring on their next three drives to take a 21-14 lead with 5:32 remaining in the opening half.

The win moves Lamar to 4-5 on the season, and 1-3 in Southland Conference play. Lamar is now only one win shy of tying the record for wins since bringing back the program. Berry completed 28-of-37 passes for 329 yards and five touchdowns on the night. The biggest score of the night came on Berry’s second TD pass. Berry hit senior Jordan Edwards for a 31-yard strike with 5:31 remaining in the opening half. It gave Berry 22 TD passes for the season setting a new school single-season record surpassing Larry Haynes’ mark of 21 set in 1979. Not to be outdone, Harrington stepped into the spotlight at the beginning of the fourth quarter when he carried the ball eight yards down to the Nicholls’ 11-yard line. The rush gave him 36 yards for the night setting a new LU freshman rushing record that had stood for 62 years (Sammy Carpenter - 1951). Harrington finished the game with 17 carries for 48 yards and two rushing scores. The majority of Harrington’s damage did not come on the ground against the Colonels. He also hauled in four passes for 56 yards and two scores. Harrington also tied an LU single-game record for points with his 24. It is the third time in school history that a Cardinal has scored 24 points in a game, all three times during the Woodard coaching era. In addition to the all the individual milestones, Lamar posted a team first against the Colonels. The Cards’ 56-point outburst is the most by LU in a conference game in program history. The last time LU came that close in a conference game was 54 against Abilene Christian in 1967. In a game that only saw one score in the opening quarter, the two teams combined for 48 points in the second quarter, with the Cardinals taking a 35-17 lead at halftime. Nicholls made a run late in the third quarter to cut the lead down to eight points but that would be as close as they would come to victory. The Colonels were also hurt by turnovers. Lamar forced the Colonels into five fumbles, three of which LU recovered, and picked off a pass.

The Cardinals dropped to 4-6 overall and 1-4 in SLC play. Quarterback Caleb Berry continues to add to his record-setting season. He completed 25-of-41 passes for 258 yards. His 25 completions gave him 231 for the season, which ranks second all-time to Larry Haynes’ 233 (1979). He now has 323 career completions, which moves him into third place in school history. He also moved into sixth place on the school’s career total offense list with 3,600 total yards. Trailing 21-17, NSU scored the only points of the third quarter. Daniel Taylor scored on a 26yard reception from Zach Adkins with 1:47 left in the third. Chris Moore’s extra-point was no good to give the Demons a 23-21 lead. NSU (5-5, 2-3) scored to open the fourth quarter as Adkins hit Louis Hollier on a 4-yard scoring strike to put the Demons up 30-21 with 14:50 remaining. The Cardinals answered with a scoring drive of their own. Peyton Ploch scored on a 1-yard run to cap a 15-play, 75-yard drive to pull within two points. After the defense forced a NSU punt, the Cardinals offense took over at their own 14 with 7:05 remaining. After moving the ball to the NSU 48, the drive bogged down and Berry was sacked for a 3-yard loss on third-and-10 to force a Lamar punt. Trying to run out the clock, De’Mard Llorens broke through the Cardinals defense for a 55-yard touchdown run to extend the Demons lead to 37-28 with 1:16 left in the game. NSU put up 461 yards of total offense, gaining 211 on the ground and 250 passing. Lamar was held to just five net yards of rushing and 258 yards passing for 263 yards of total offense. Lamar started the scoring on Tyrus McGlothen’s 65-yard interception return for a touchdown at 8:36 remaining in the first quarter. That was McGlothen’s second straight game with an interception return for a touchdown after taking one to the house from 56-yards out in last week’s win over Nicholls. Trailing by a score, LU tied the game at 14 on Kevin Johnson’s 52-yard punt return for a touchdown. It was Johnson’s second punt return for a touchdown this season.

BEAUMONT, Texas - The playing careers for Lamar’s class of 2013 seniors ended in similar fashion to how it began. The Cards dropped a three-point decision at McNeese State to officially start the return of the program in 2010. The No. 6 McNeese State Cowboys rallied for a 42-38 victory to spoil senior night. Despite the loss, Lamar (5-7/2-5 SLC) finished the season tying a school record for wins since bringing back the program. Lamar rolled up 476 yards of total offense, and took an 11-point lead, 31-20, into the locker room at halftime, but McNeese State got stronger as the game wore on. The Cowboys recorded 309 of their 483 yards of total offense in the second half. McNeese State also scored the game’s final 16 points, including the game-clinching score with 58 seconds remaining. Junior quarterback Caleb Berry finished his record-breaking season completing 21-of-41 passes for 330 yards and four scores. He finished the year setting single-season school records for completions, passing yards, yards of total offense and touchdown passes. Berry connected with classmate Mark Roberts five times for 123 yards and three touchdowns. The three TD catches tied a single-game school record, and came on his first three receptions of the night. Both offenses seemed to have the advantage early as Lamar would score on one end of the field, only to see the Cowboys answer on the other. McNeese State closed out the quarter with a seven-yard touchdown pass, but the point-after try was off the mark and Lamar held the lead momentarily. The Cowboys would tack on one more score before the end of the half before Lamar went on a 17-0 run to close the half and take all the momentum into the locker room. LU came out of the locker room and appeared to have picked up where it left off. Lamar stopped the Cowboys on their opening drive to force a punt, but McNeese ran the fake to pick up the first down. The Cowboys followed the fake with four consecutive Marcus Wiltz rushes, including a 10-yard run for the score. Lamar answered with a touchdown just over three minutes later to take a 12-point lead. The advantage held until 58 seconds remaining when McNeese scored the gamewinner.

BEAUMONT, Texas - With 20 seconds left in the game, Lamar freshman Alex Ball had to set up for a kick three times before eventually sending the ball through the uprights in the north end zone to hand Lamar a 46-45 victory over Stephen F. Austin. The field goal capped a late comeback as the Cardinals (5-6, 2-4 Southland) charged back from nine points down in the final five minutes. Ball, who made four field goals on the night, was one of a number of standout performers as both Caleb Berry and Reggie Begelton etched themselves into the Lamar history books. Berry, who is in the midst of the most prolific season a quarterback has put together in the red and white, was excellent once again, completing a school-record 43-of-55 passes for 393 yards and three touchdowns. The junior now holds single-season marks for touchdowns (28), completions (274), passing yards (3,002) and total offense (3,171). His favorite target this year played a big role on Saturday as Begelton caught 18 passes for 167 yards and a pair of scores, breaking J.J. Hayes’ mark of 14 catches, which was set against McNeese State in 2011. The Beaumont West Brook graduate now holds the single-season school record for catches with 75. After a Begelton touchdown Lamar went for the onsides kick and came up short. SFA took over on the LU 36-yard line. Gus Johnson picked up four yards on the first two plays, and Attaway tossed it to Boyd to set up a fourth-and-one. SFA called Johnson’s number once again, but the entire LU defense joined in to stuff the junior halfback for no gain. Berry came back out with 2:20 left on the clock. Once again, Begelton was the target catching two passes for 36 yards to move down to the SFA 33. Harrington then picked up 11 on third-and-12, to move down to the 24 yard line and set the stage for Ball’s heroics.

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 commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, 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 the 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 stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) 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

68

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 2014 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 11 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-ex 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 has. In fact, in 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes. In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

Lamar History


Lamar Football Lamar Football Historyup a whopping 24-4 advantage over East Texas Baptist in South Park High School in 1926.

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 E.A. “Beans” LaBauve was a three-year South 1979 inductee to the Cardinals Park JC playing Hall of Honor. career that season and at the unbelievably young age of 19 became head coach at

72

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 3520-5 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 John Gray became head coach College, and the in 1932 and compiled a 40-30-4 lone loss was 6-0 to record over eight seasons. the SMU freshmen in the mud and rain in Greenie Stadium on Thanksgiving Day. A blocked punt at the 3-yard line led to the game’s only touchdown. Season tickets for seven home games in 1932 were $1.50 each, a far cry from the $60 to $400 price range for season tickets for this year’s second season of Lamar football after its return from a 21-year hiatus. Another indication of how much football has changed over the years is that the average weight for the 1932 Cardinals was 158 pounds per man. Quarterback Jake Verde, who later played his senior college football at Texas, led the 1932 Cardinals by running for four touchdowns and passing for six more, and he also served as the team’s kicker. The gem of the Cardinals’ 1932 season was their 6-0 victory over heavily-favored Southwestern Louisiana, sparked by a 35-yard Verdeto-Ernest Byerly touchdown pass and two fourth-quarter interceptions by Ovey Babin. By 1933, there were enough junior colleges playing football in Texas for the state to divide into sections and originate a plan to determine a state champion. Although the Cardinals weren’t as strong as they had been the previous year, they advanced to the state championship game but lost it to Amarillo Junior College 27-14 in Beaumont’s Purple Stadium in mid-December. The Cardinals logged a 5-3-2 record during the regular season in 1933 and defeated Schreiner Institute 20-14 in the first round of the state playoffs. Defense was the trademark of that team as the Cardinals held nine opponents to seven or fewer points, although two of those games were scoreless ties. Actually, the tone for the season was set in the Cardinals’ opener when they piled

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.


Lamar Football 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 Bob Frederick starred all-round intercollegiate athletic in football, basketball program developed. and baseball at Lamar. 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 they outscored their opponents by a combined 241-37. Chick Forwald joined Lamar as head coach in 1947, and the Cardinals slipped to a 4-6 record. Stan Lambert became Lamar’s head football coach in 1948 and promptly guided the Cardinals to a 7-4 regular-season record and the school’s first berth in a bowl game. Playing before a home crowd in the season-ending Spindletop Bowl, the Cardinals easily disposed of Hinds (Miss.) Junior College 21-0. Cardinal stars that season included quarterback Joe Westerman, end Bob Frederick, running back Jimmy McNeil and offensive and defensive back Francis (Smitty) Hill. Lamar made its swan song as a junior college football program a huge success in 1949 by roaring to a Southwestern Junior College co-championship, a 10-2 record and two post-season bowl games. Along the way, the Cardinals scored a school-record 346 points. At the conclusion of the season, the Cardinals lost a 21-20 heartbreaker to Pearl River (Miss.) in the Memorial Bowl in Jackson, Miss. Back home in the Spindletop Bowl, the Cards rolled to a 35-14 win over Georgia Military Institute behind the running and passing of McNeil and two touchdown catches by Frederick. The 1950s Although it remained a junior college for one last year, Lamar began its transition to senior college status by lining up an all-senior-college schedule for the 1950 season. Despite being outmanned by some teams, Lambert’s Cardinals managed a 5-4-1 record highlighted by victories of 34-7 over Southwest Oklahoma State and 75-0 over Daniel Baker College. The Cardinals intercepted six passes in the win over Southwest Oklahoma, and eight different Cardinals scored at least one touchdown in the rout of Daniel Baker College. Lamar’s name changed to Lamar State College of Technology for its first official season as a four-year institution in 1951 – one that saw the Cardinals go 6-4 overall and 2-3 in the Lone Star Conference. That season saw the emergence of wiry running back Sammy Carpenter, a 144-pounder from Orange, as Lamar’s first real superstar. He rushed for 607 yards and scored 54 points as a freshman. In his sophomore season of 1952, Carpenter set long-lasting school records of 210 rushing yards vs. Sul Ross State, 1,005 rushing yards for the season and 13

touchdowns for 78 points in the season. The 210 yards stood until Burton Murchison broke the mark with 222 yards vs. Prairie View A&M and then 259 yards vs. Rice later in the 1985 season; the 1,005 yards stood until Murchison ran for 1,547 in 1985, and the 78 points in a season remain a school record. After winning two of their first three games in 1952, the Cardinals stumbled to six-straight losses and a 2-7 record marred by losses of 48-0 to East Texas State and 66-7 to Trinity University. When Lambert moved up to director of athletics in 1953, his top assistant J.B. Higgins took over as head coach and began what would become the most successful era in Lamar’s football history. Known affectionately as “Hig” by his friends, Higgins went 3-7 in each of his first two seasons, but improvement began to show in 1955 (4-6 record) and 1956 (4-4-1). The Cardinals then enjoyed the school’s only undefeated record with an 8-0-2 mark in 1957. Carpenter ended his senior season in 1954 with 2,703 career rushing yards, a figure that now ranks second only to the 3,598 yards compiled by Murchison over the 1984-1987 seasons. Higgins, who compiled a 59-38-4 record in his 10-season tenure as head coach, pointed to the 4-4-1 1956 season as being the most pivotal for Lamar’s improving program. The Cardinals gave an indication of what was to come in the near future when they clobbered Sul Ross State 34-7 in their finale. Ties of 7-7 with Sam Houston State and 13-13 with Texas A&I were the only glitches in the Cardinals’ superb 1957 season that saw 270-pound offensive and defensive lineman Dudley Meredith become Lamar’s first bona-fide All-America selection. The ties forced the Cardinals to share the Lone Star Conference championship with East Texas State, a team they edged 7-6. In their season finale, the Cards rolled up a then school-record 562 yards of total offense in a 67-19 trouncing of Sul Ross State. For an encore in 1958, the Cardinals got defensive-minded as they led the LSC in rushing defense, passing defense and total defense while carving a 6-2 record. Their losses – in back-to-back games against Howard Payne and Southwest Texas State – were by a total of six points, and they outscored their opposition by 188-52 for the season. By winning their first seven games in 1959, the Cardinals climbed to No. 1 in the nation in all of the college division polls. They outscored their opponents by a 21.1-4.9 average margin during that streak that ended with a 14-12 loss to Howard Payne. They also lost J.B. Higgins coached Lamar’s only their next two undefeated team to an 8-0-2 record games to Texas in 1957. 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 Sammy Carpenter had Lamar’s first 1,000-yard rushing season with victory played 1,005 yards in 1951. before a crowd of 3,000 in Port Neches. Higgins’ Cardinals went on to post eight wins for the second-straight season and the third time in four years as they went 8-4, including a 5-2 mark in the LSC. Davis had 123 rushing yards and Fontenot 111 in the win over Mexico Poly, and that game marked the starting debut for Windell Hebert, who went on to become one of Lamar’s most 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 yards, Fontenot led the team in rushing for a second-straight season, and he earned All-LSC recognition along with guard Nader Bood. That season also saw the emergence of Bobby Jancik, who later was American Football League Rookie of the Year as a defensive back for the 1962 Houston Oilers. Jancik reached stardom and Little All-America status the next season as he helped lead Higgins’ Cardinals to an 8-2-1 record and a berth in the 1961 Tangerine Bowl, the top postseason game for College Division schools. He scored 62 points, rushed for 302 yards and caught 16 passes for an additional 357 yards, including fourth-quarter touchdown snares of 64 and 55 yards in a 38-34 comefrom-behind win over Northeast Louisiana in the Cardinals’ season opener.. The 1961 Cardinals scored 282 points to set a school record that stood until the 1987 team bettered it by a scant point. Joining Jancik as offensive mainstays that season were Hebert, Fontenot, Jimmy Davis, Armour McManus and Ralph Stone. Hebert, who passed for 1,214 yards and 11 touchdowns that year, was stunned by the death of his mother at mid-season but two days later threw for 109 yards in a 33-13 victory over Howard Payne before a crowd of 9,000 in Greenie Stadium. Defensive leaders in 1961 included linebacker Lindley King from Orange and safety David Webb, who intercepted a still-standing school-record seven passes. The J.B. Higgins era as head coach ended after the 1962 season during which the Cardinals posted a 7-3 record to improve his 10-season record to 58-38-4. Two of the Cards’ losses that season were seven-point LSC decisions to Texas A&I and Southwest Texas State, both ranked in the NAIA’s Top 10. Hebert threw for a then school-record 231 yards in the loss to Southwest Texas, and he finished his senior

73


Lamar Football 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 midpoint of his first season as head coach, Glass made the bold move of turning over the quarterback reins to Phillip Primm, a red-headed freshman who eventually led the Cardinals to three-straight SLC championships. He led the Cardinals in passing and total offense in each of Jake David was an All-Southland his four seasons Conference player for the and remains No. 2 Cardinals in 1965 & 1966. 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 19-17 to State College of Iowa in the Pecan Bowl. While Primm, Harold LaFitte and Dan Yezak led the offense that season, lineman Anthony Guillory and linebacker Vernon McManus sparked the defense. A gem to the 1964 season was a non-conference, 21-14 victory over major college foe New Mexico State. Primm helped spark that win by completing 12 of 18 passes for 130 yards. Although Primm was plagued by injuries, the Cardinals managed a 6-4 record and another SLC championship in 1965. Primm’s two-point conversion pass to Frazer Dealy in the last two minutes enabled the Cards to nip East Central Oklahoma 15-14 in their opener, and they won three of their next four games before suffering back-to-back losses to Texas A&I and Southwestern Louisiana. Included in the early-season burst was a 20-7 victory over Arkansas State witnessed by a then-record crowd of 16,000 in Cardinal Stadium. The Cardinals clinched the SLC championship with a 21-3 triumph over Trinity University in which fullback Eugene Washington reeled off a then school-record 85yard TD run. Primm, McManus, LaFitte, Jake David, Dick Croxton, Ed Marcontell, Bill Kilgore and Mike Allman were All-SLC picks that season.

With Primm passing for a then school-record 1,549 yards, the 1966 Cardinals shared the SLC championship with Texas-Arlington, a team they defeated 27-7. A 23-14 loss to Trinity University prevented the Cards from winning the title outright. Primm hit his high water mark of the season by completing 14 of 18 passes for 224 yards and four TDs in a 42-16 SLC romp over Abilene Christian, and linebacker Danny Jones led the Cards with 15 tackles in a 17-0 blanking of Arkansas State. Another big win that season was a 31-16 decision over Terry Bradshaw-led Louisiana Tech. Lamar’s bid for a fourth-successive SLC championship ended in the final game of the 1967 season when Skipper Butler kicked three field goals to help UTA defeat the Cards 16-10. Still, they won seven-straight games over one stretch and finished the season with a fine 7-3 record. Randy McCollum took over as starting quarterback that season and came within 16 yards of Primm’s then school record with 1,533 passing yards. Tommie Smiley, a 232-pound running back, was the team’s leading rusher with 890 yards. Croxton became the first Cardinal to earn a third-successive All-SLC award, and Kilgore, Johnny Fuller and offensive guard Spergon Wynn were all picked for a second time, while Darrell Mingle, Richard Bjerke and Bill Groberg were first-year picks. The Cardinals came close to winning three times during their 0-10 1968 season, but they never quite pulled off the needed big play in losses of 16-14 to New Mexico State, 20-14 to Southwestern Louisiana and 24-20 to Trinity. Still, sophomore split end Ronnie Gebauer caught a then school-record 56 passes for 831 yards, and defensive tackle Richard Cummings and defensive back Benny Lansford were All-SLC performers. The Cardinals ended the 1960s decade with a 3-7 record in 1969 but went 0-4 in the SLC. Their wins came against McNeese State, New Mexico State and Southern Illinois in their first four games, and they ended the season with six-straight losses. An example of the Cardinals’ futility that season came in their game against Louisiana Tech. Quarterback Tommy Tomlin threw for 308 yards and a school-record six touchdowns, but he didn’t come close to matching the numbers put up by Terry Bradshaw in a 77-40 Tech win. The 1970s The 1970 Cardinals started their season impressively, upsetting West Texas State 33-28 as Tomlin completed 12 of 14 passes and then holding off Louisiana Tech 6-0 in a rainstorm in Cardinal Stadium in Week 2. A 32-16 road loss to Southern Illinois sidetracked the Cards the next week, and Tomlin went down with a practice injury a few days later that kept him our of action for four games. The Cards Coach Vernon Glass guided the went on to lose six Cardinals to Southland Confermore games in a ence Championships in 1964, row before blanking 1965, 1966 & 1971.

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 yards for the season. A first-quarter field goal of 41 yards by Mike Drake stood up as the Cardinals defeated Southwestern Louisiana 3-0 as cornerback Donald Hill sparked the defense with two interceptions. Another highlight to the season was Matthews’ 135-yard rushing performance in a 25-19 road victory over New Mexico State. Matthews, offensive tackle Charles Cantrell, split end Joe Bowser and safety Rondy Colbert were all first-team All-SLC selections. Lamar gained major college classification in football for the 1973 season, and the Cardinals compiled a 5-5 record against a beefed-up schedule that included road games at New Mexico State, Drake University and Texas-El Paso. They scored 17 fourth-quarter points to win the UTEP game 31-27 as Bobby Flores passed 8 yards to Steve DeRouen for the winning touchdown with a mere 12 seconds remaining. The Cardinals also scored late in their matching 10-7 SLC wins over Arkansas State and Texas-Arlington. Flores threw 11 yards to Larry Spears for the clinching score against Arkansas State, and Jabo Leonard booted a 27-yard field goal for the winning points against UTA. Joe Bowser, who led the Cardinals in receiving with 38 catches for 545 yards and three TDs, was their lone offensive representative on the 1973 All-SLC First Team, while end Leon Babineaux and safety Rondy Colbert, who later played in the NFL, were defensive first-teamers. Bolstered by nine returning offensive starters and 10 defensive regulars from the 1973 team, Glass’ 1974 Cardinals went on to post a fine 8-2 season. They won six of their first seven games, and their only losses were 37-21 to Mississippi State and 28-0 to perennially-tough Louisiana Tech. Fullback Dale Spence ran for two TDs in the Cardinals’ 18-6 season-opening victory over Drake University, and a 64-yard scoring pass from Flores to Larry Spears helped spark their 27-7 triumph at North Texas State the next week. Flores ran for two TDs, and cornerback Audwin Samuel returned an interception 60 yards for another score as the Cardinals defeated Southwestern Louisiana 38-13 in Week 3. While subbing for the injured Flores in the Cardinals’ SLC opener at Arkansas State, Al Rabb connected with running back Anthony Pendland for a 65-yard TD pass with 2:11 left to give LU a 10-6 win. The Cardiac Cardinals did it again the next week as Donald Hill’s 29-yard interception


Lamar Football 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 Lynn Bock holds the record for the two longest punts in Lamar history team, along with offensive (86 and 80 yards). 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 21-17 over New Mexico State in Week 3. They closed the season with an eight-game losing streak during which they were shut out twice and scored a total of 43 points. Senior defensive tackle Donald Davis was the only Cardinal to make the 1976 All-SLC Team.

Despite improving on both sides of the ball, the 1977 Cardinals failed to improve in the won-loss column as they again went 2-9. After opening with a 21-7 win over Northeast Louisiana, they lost eight-straight games before stunning highly-favored McNeese State 35-7 in Lake Charles. Burly noseguard Matt Burnett, who later had a successful run as Port Neches-Groves’ head coach, led the team in tackles that season and was a first-team All-SLC selection. The 1978 Cardinals endured a 2-8-1 season that saw the end of the Bob Frederick Era as head coach after three years that produced a combined record of 6-26-1. The wins were 23-16 over Stephen F. Austin and 36-31 over Long Beach State, and the tie was 17-17 against Northeast Louisiana. Offensive guard Victor Enard of West Orange was Lamar’s lone representative on the 1978 All-SLC Team. Offensively, the pass-and-catch duo of Larry Haynes and Howard (Boo) Robinson showed signs of what was to come as Haynes completed 92 of 184 passes for 1,261 yards and eight TDs while Robinson snared 27 passes for 451 yards and four TDs. The hiring of 35-year-old offensive guru Larry Kennan to succeed Frederick as head coach brought optimism for a Cardinal program starving for success after four successive losing seasons. Kennan’s resume included impressive stints as offensive coordinator at SMU and Nevada-Las Vegas, and he swiftly lived up to his hiring-day boast that the 1979 Cardinals would play an exciting brand of football. Operating from the Pro-I offense, the Cards razzled-dazzled their way to an incredible 38 team or individual records en route to a 6-3-2 campaign in 1979. The Cardinals fell 20-7 to Baylor in Kennan’s head-coaching debut, but he responded by calling the shots in a 58-27 dismantling of Western Kentucky in their next game, causing Cardinal Stadium to swell with a standing-room-only crowd of 17,600 for their home debut against Louisiana Tech the next week. Kennan’s troops did not disappoint the enthusiastic crowd as they responded with a 19-7 victory, Lamar’s first since 1970 over Tech’s Bulldogs. Linebacker Kurt Phoenix sparked the fireworks against Western Kentucky by returning the opening kickoff a school-record 98 yards for a touchdown, and by the time that sunny Kentucky afternoon ended, Haynes and fellow LU quarterback Mike Long had combined for 323 passing yards, six shy of the then school record. Other highlights of that day included split end Jesse Cavil streaking 72 yards down the sideline for a TD after catching a Haynes pass, Robinson popping open in the end zone twice for TD receptions, defensive end Terry Lee Williams returning an interception 26 yards for a TD and the defense coming up with six total turnovers. With Haynes at the offensive controls, the 1979 Cardinals averaged 248.5 passing yards and 24.7 points per game, and they notched three wins against SLC competition – two more than the previous four LU teams had managed. Haynes had a 276-yard passing performance against Western Kentucky, a 258-yarder against West Texas State, a 262-yarder against McNeese State and a 286-yarder vs. Northwestern State, but they were just routine outings compared to his record-smashing 403-yard output against UT Arlington. For the season, he had 233 completions on 402 attempts for 2,641 yards and 21 TDs. The 143-pound Robinson was Haynes’ favorite target as he logged three 100-yard-plus receiving games and finished the season with record totals of 59 catches,

840 receiving yards and 12 TDs. Despite his brilliance as a passer, Haynes was relegated to a second-team berth on the All-SLC Team, but Robinson, Enard, Phoenix and tight end Alfred Mask were all first-teamers. Joining Haynes on the second team were offensive tackle Kenny Birkes and cornerback/kick returner Johnny Ray Smith. The 1980s Depleted by the departures of Haynes, Robinson, Phoenix, Enard and several other key contributors, the 1980 Cardinals lacked experience and depth and, consequently, dipped to a 3-8 record. They opened with a 41-8 victory at Texas Southern, but eventual Southwest Conference champion Baylor pounded them 42-7 before a standing-room-only crowd of 18,500 in their home opener, and Drake was a 38-7 winner in Game 3. The Cardinals righted their ship with a 45-21 victory over Stephen F. Austin, but four-straight losses followed before they edged Arkansas State 23-22 for their final victory. One of the positives to the season was that freshman quarterback Ray Campbell from Livingston steadily progressed into a competent passer, completing 157 of 296 attempts for 1,491 yards and seven TDs. Flanker Sam Choice, who led the team with 34 catches for 579 yards and four TDs, was a first-team AllSLC selection along with Smith, the team leader in kickoff returns and punt returns. The first two games of 1981 produced the biggest highlights of the season. First, Mike Marlow calmly kicked a 42-yard field goal with three seconds left to give the Cardinals an 18-17 road upset of defending SWC champion Baylor, then the Cards traveled to the Houston Astrodome and destroyed Sam Houston State 50-7 as Cavil caught three TD passes and Herbert Harris two. The Cardinals’ other wins in their 4-6-1 season were decisions of 17-13 over Northeast Louisiana and 14-12 over Southwestern Louisiana, and the tie was 20-20 vs. McNeese State. Junior college transfer Fred Hessen beat out Campbell for the starting quarterback job that season, and he threw five TD passes in the Sam Houston State game. He finished the season with 182 completions on 365 attempts for 2,108 yards and 14 TDs. Harris, who had 13 catches for 192 yards in a 16-7 loss to Louisiana Tech, set school records with 61 catches for 911 yards and seven TDs, while Ben Booker led the team with 569 rushing yards. Linebacker Charles Broussard led the team in tackles with 96, and strong safety David Jones and linebacker Larry McCoy had 88 each. Late in the spring of 1982, Kennan departed Lamar to take an assistant’s job with the Oakland Raiders, and Ken Stephens, who had coached Central Arkansas to a 10-season record of 67-35-6, was hired on June 2 to succeed him. Stephens found coaching at the NCAA Division I-AA level to be a bit more difficult than it had been at the NAIA level. His best season was his first when the Cardinals went 4-7 in 1982, and he departed after Burton Murchison led Division I-AA with 1,547 producing an 11-33 record rushing yards in 1985. over four years. The 1982 Cardinals struggled offensively as they suffered three shutouts and

Lamar Football 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 duties. They combined to pass for 1,772 yards and 10 touchdowns, and Derek Anderson led the receiving corps with 34 catches for 575 yards and three TDs. Lamar withdrew from the Southland Conference after the 1986-1987 athletic year, opting to join the newly-created American South Conference, which did not sponsor football. That left the football program with the burden of having to play as a Division I-AA independent – a move that made scheduling extremely difficult, especially for home games. ur 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 in their return to the gridiron in 2010 under new head coach Ray Woodard. Seven individual and eight team records fell during the year with Bevil setting two records and tying another. In addition to the single-game total offense mark, Bevil set school records for passing yards (429 yards) and most completions in a game (34). The Cardinals would get into the win column in their home opener with a 21-14 victory over Webber International in front of a sold out stadium of 16,600. Wide receiver J.J. Hayes scored the first points in the newly named Provost Umphrey stadium as he hauled in a Bevil pass for a 25-yard touchdown. Lamar would run its winning streak to two games with a thrilling comeback win at Southeastern Louisiana by a 29-28 score. The Cardinals trailed 28-8 early in the second half before scoring 20 straight points to stun the crowd at Strawberry Stadium. Hayes scored from 19 yards out on a Bevil completion with 1:52 to play to complete the comeback. Following a 38-10 loss to Sam Houston State, Lamar Eugene Seale was a Division I-AA All-American linebacker earned a 14-0 homecoming day win over Langston. and the Southland Defensive Player of the Year in 1984. The game against Langston drew 17,306 fans for the third best crowd in the history of the stadium as Lamar

76

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. After dropping three straight league games, the Cards righted the ship with a 34-24 home win over Nicholls as Johnson scored on a 15-yard pass in the first quarter to tie the single-season school record for touchdowns scored with 13. Fellow receiver Barry Ford added a big day with nine catches for 111 yards and a touchdown, and defensive lineman John Prescott closed the scoring with a 26-yard interception return. 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. Junior punter Kollin Kahler was named to the CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-District-7 Team, as well as several other academic honor rolls.
