LSC FOOTBALLTexas A&M-Commerce improved to 4-0 for the first time since 1990 to remain atop the Lone Star Conference standings. West Texas A&M is a game back at 3-1. The Lions and Buffs face off this week in Commerce, Texas. Here is a closer look at last week’s games:

• A&M-C captured a thrilling 41-40 win over Angelo State on a game-winning field goal.• WT won its fourth consecutive game with a 34-13 victory over No. 25 Midwestern State.• Tarleton State broke five senior college-era school records in an 80-14 victory over Texas A&M-Kingsville. • The Greyhounds earned their first-ever triumph over McMurry, 62-23, which broke the program record for points in a road game.

This week’s schedule includes four LSC contests with WT at A&M-C, TSU at ENMU, ASU at TAMUK, and McM at MSU. LSC football teams are 24-20 overall this season. The squads are 5-1 combined versus the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, Great Lakes Valley Conference and Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference teams, which are also in NCAA Super Regional Four.

LSC FOOTBALL PLAYOFFSAfter playing seven conference games apiece over the first nine weeks of an 11-week regular season, the Lone Star Conference’s eight football teams will split into two brackets to conduct a two-week conference playoff. The conference champion and playoff seeding will be determined by regular season results with the higher seeds hosting each round. The top four teams (No. 4 at No. 1 and No. 3 at No. 2) comprise the championship bracket with Week 10 winners playing for the playoff title in Week 11, whereas Week 10 losers will meet for third place. The other half of the bracket includes the remaining four teams with No. 8 at No. 5 and No. 7 at No. 6 in Week 10. The winners will play for fifth-place in Week 11, while the losers meet in the seventh-place game.

PLAYERS OF THE WEEKOFFENSIVEE’lon Spight, Eastern New Mexico University, SR, RB, St. Louis, Mo., Hazelwood East HS/Grossmont CollegeSpight led the Greyhounds at McMurry and set career highs, with 189 rushing yards and four touchdowns. On his 27 carries, he averaged an incredible seven yards and crossed the first-down marker 11 times. Spight is just the sixth ENMU player since the 1998 season to score four touchdowns in a game. His performance helped the Hounds to set a new team record for points in a road game at 62. The previous record stood since the 1990 season.

DEFENSIVECarter James, West Texas A&M University, R-FR, LB, Justin, Texas, Northwest HSJames was all over the field in the Buffs’ 34-13 upset win over No. 25 Midwestern State Saturday night. He tallied his fourth game of double-digit tackles this season and a career-high 21 total tackles, including nine solo stops...James added a sack for four yards and had a career-best three tackles for loss for 10 yards in the win. In the passing game, WT held MSU to just 72 yards passing for the game and just one passing yard at halftime.

SPECIAL TEAMSSaul Martinez, Texas A&M University - Commerce, SR, K, Pittsburg, Texas, Pittsburg HSMartinez connected on his first attempt in the second quarter, a 30-yard boot, to give the Lions a 17-16 lead. Little did he know at the time that the Lions would go down by as many as 13 points, 30-17, only to rally and provide Martinez with the opportunity for the game-winning kick and another one point lead. After missing a 39-yard kick at the halftime buzzer, Martinez would go until the 2:04 mark in the fourth quarter before he would get another chance. This time from 37-yards out Martinez kicked it true as the Lions escaped with the 41-40 win over ASU.

OTHER TOP PERFORMERS Geremy Alridge-Mitchell, West Texas A&M University, had a career-high 33 carries and a career-high 163 yards to go along with two touchdowns in the Buffs’ 34-13 upset of No. 25 Midwestern State. Alridge-Mitchell tallied his fourth consecutive game of over 100 yards rushing and fifth consecutive game of scoring a touchdown on the ground and second straight game of two touchdowns. He also added a 47-yard kick return as he leads the nation in kick returns at 41 yards per return. Collin Strahan, Tarleton State University, lifted Tarleton State back into the win column Saturday night in the Texans’ record-setting 80-14 win against Texas A&M-Kingsville. Strahan led Tarleton to an 80-point explosion, which is the most points scored by Tarleton in a game since becoming a senior college in 1961. The junior signal caller from Mesquite broke his own school record for rushing yards by a quarterback with a career-high 136 yards on 19 carries and three rushing scores. He was also successful through the air, going 20-35 on pass attempts for 206 yards and a pair of scores. With 342 total yards, Strahan combined for 53-percent of Tarleton’s total yardage of 644, which was just four yard shy of the school’s senior college-era record. Strahan did not go down for a single negative rush on the night and completed passes to nine different Texan receivers. Strahan’s offense also set the school record for first downs in a game with 43.

Ryan Byrd, Angelo State University, set a season high in rushing yards and receiving yards against Texas A&M-Commerce. The junior led all rushers with 120 yards on 16 carries and scored one touchdown. He averaged 7.5 yards per carry. The Lake Elsinore, Calif., native also caught six balls for 80 yards. He scored on a 7-yard pass from Kyle Washington in the second quarter. He was the Rams leader in all-purpose yards with 200. Vernon Johnson, Texas A&M University - Commerce, hauled in nine catches for 113 yards and three touchdowns. Johnson caught the Lions opening touchdown pass from Deric Davis to start the scoring. His second TD reception came on a 39-yard bomb from Tyrik Rollison. Johnson saw Rollison in trouble and beat his man to back of the end zone and made an impressive catch keeping both feet inbounds, while maintaining possession. Johnson’s third TD came on another four-yard strike from Davis. This time Johnson beat his man on a slant to the inside and gave Davis plenty of space to deliver the pass. On the Lions’ game-winning drive, Johnson played a huge role hauling in a 23-yard catch on a crucial 3rd and 14 that could have halted the drive before it got started. Charles Woods, Texas A&M University - Commerce, led the Lions defense and all defensive players with a game-high 16 tackles. Woods as a major cog in the defense shutting down the LSC’s second leading rushing attack during the game. Woods, who is ranked 33rd in the NCAA in tackles for a loss and third in the LSC, had a half tackle for loss in the contest. He has led the team in tackles in all but one game and is third in the LSC and 15th in the NCAA. Not only did he play a pivotal role stopping the run, but Woods batted down arguable the biggest pass in the game. With the Lions trailing by two points and without the ball, Woods stepped up and batted down ASU’s Kyle Washington’s third down pass to provide the stop for the Lions. The following offensive possession A&M-Commerce drove down the field and kicked what would be the game-winning field goal. Rush Seaver, Angelo State University, continued recording double-digit tackles. The senior made 15 stops and a half tackle for loss against Texas A&M-Commerce. It is the fourth-straight game that Seaver has tallied double-digit stops. He moved into No. 7 on the ASU all-time career tackles list with the 15 tackles. Alex Anderson, Tarleton State University, a senior linebacker from Wills Point, enjoyed a career night for Tarleton State in a record-setting 80-14 win over Texas A&M-Kingsville on Homecoming last Saturday. For the first time in his career, Anderson led the team in tackles with his first double-digit performance (11). Of his 11 tackles, three were solo stops and one was for a six-yard loss. Anderson and the Tarleton defense completely dominated the football game by holding the Javelinas to just 215 yards of total offense, including just 38 yards passing. Seth Bailey, Eastern New Mexico University, set the tone against McMurry, when he registered a pick six on the War Hawk’s first possession of the game. He paced the Greyhound defense with seven tackles, which included 2.5 for a loss and a sack. Bailey also had two passes broken up and a quarterback hurry. His interception return was the first for a score, this season. Blake Barnes, Tarleton State University, broke the Tarleton State senior college-era school record for PATs made and attempted in the Texans’ record 80-14 victory over Texas A&M-Kingsville Saturday night. The junior from Stephenville was a perfect 12-12 on all of his attempted field goals, including 11-11 on extra points and 1-1 on a 19-yard first-half field goal. His 11

PATs topped the previous record of eight, which was set in 1994 and tied three times in 2001-02, while the 11 attempts bested the previous record of nine PATs which has stood since 1994. In addition to his career night of kicking, Barnes also had two punts and three kickoffs. Conner Hollabaugh, West Texas A&M University, had another great night kicking as he tallied two field goals (20, 34 yards) in the Buffs’ 34-13 upset win over No. 25 Midwestern State. Hollabaugh also had seven kickoffs for 427 yards for a 61.0 average and three touchbacks. The Buffs allowed just 79 yards on four kickoff returns with the longest being 25 yards. Hollabaugh is 11 of 12 in field goals and 23 of 25 in extra-points for the season. He also is averaging 62.6 yards per kickoff with 15 touchbacks in 42 kicks. Kevin Reaves, Eastern New Mexico University, had four punt returns against McMurry for 84 yards. His 24-yard return in the second quarter set ENMU up in McMurry territory and led to a Greyhound touchdown. He also had a 24-yard return at the end of the third quarter, which also led to another touchdown. Reaves’ longest return of the day was a 31-yard sprint in the fourth quarter, which gave Eastern the ball near midfield.

Eastern New Mexico The Greyhounds earned their first-ever win over McMurry and did it in dominant fashion. Seth Bailey’s interception on the War Hawk’s first possession led to an early lead for ENMU. E’lon Spight became the sixth player to score at least four rushing touchdowns in a game for the Hounds since the 1998 season. Spight also rushed for a career-best 189 yards. The performance led to Eastern scoring 62 points, to shatter the team record for points in a road game, set on September 22, 1990 at New Mexico Highlands. Since a setback at Incarnate Word, last season, ENMU has won seven straight road games. Eastern will host Tarleton State, on Saturday.

McMurry Senior receiver Jeret Smith had seven receptions for 168 yards in Saturday’s loss to Eastern New Mexico, as he continues to ascend the McM career receiving charts.

McMurry’s loss to ENMU was also the first setback to the Greyhounds in the series, now standing at 6-1-1 in McM’s favor. Saturday was also the first team that



the two teams had met on the gridiron since Dwight D. Eisenhower was President (1959).

Midwestern State Midwestern State is 3-2 overall and is 2-2 in Lone Star Conference play … MSU fell to West Texas A&M 34-13 last Saturday, marking the first time for MSU to lose two games in October since 2010 (10/9/10 loss at Abilene Christian 31-28 and 10/23/10 loss at West Texas A&M 42-29).

Christian recorded his third straight double-digit tackle game this season with 10 at West Texas A&M. Christian now has eight career games of 10 or more stops … MSU threw for only 72 yards against West Texas A&M, the first time since Nov. 17, 2012 that MSU has thrown for less than 75 yards (74 yards vs. Indianapolis) … MSU ran for 344 yards against West Texas A&M, the most this season and the most since rolling up 412 yards against Menlo (Calif.) on Nov. 2, 2013 … Midwestern State is home for the next two weeks as they host McMurry and Texas A&M-Commerce … Saturday’s game will be the 22nd meeting between McMurry and MSU with the Mustangs holding an 11-9-1 lead in the series.
