LSC FOOTBALLTexas A&M-Commerce clinched its first Lone Star Conference title since 1990 and the program’s 21st championship following the 48-21 win over West Texas A&M last week to improve to 5-0 in league games. Four teams - Angelo State, Midwestern State, WT, and Tarleton State - are tied for second place with identical 3-2 LSC records. Here is a closer look at last week’s games:

• A&M-C won its fifth-straight game over WT.• ASU defeated Texas A&M-Kingsville 57-31 for just the sixth time in program history. • MSU defeated McMurry 71-13 to snap a two-game skid.• TSU earned its second straight win with another record-setting performance over Eastern New Mexico.

This week’s schedule includes four LSC contests with A&M-C at MSU, ENMU at ASU, TAMUK at WT, and TSU at McM. LSC football teams are 28-24 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 WEEKOFFENSIVECollin Strahan, Tarleton State University, JR, QB, Mesquite, Texas, Horn HSStrahan continued his record-setting first season as the starting quarterback of the Tarleton Texans last weekend as the signal caller from Mesquite lifted the Texans to their second straight win with a 59-42 victory over Eastern New Mexico, who entered the game as the top defensive team in the conference, in Blackwater Draw, N.M. Strahan had a part of seven Tarleton touchdowns, including five through the air and two on the ground. He got the Texans on the board on the first three possessions of the game to give Tarleton a commanding 21-0 lead just 8:32 into the contest. His third touchdown broke the school’s senior college-era record for the longest run from scrimmage as he broke loose on an 89-yard scoring run, which topped Ricky Bush’s record run of 85 yards set in 1981. For the game, Strahan broke his own school record for rushing by a quarterback for the third time this season with 157 yards and the two scores on 14 carries while also throwing for a career-high 386 yards and five touchdowns on 20-33 passing. The Texan QB accounted for 543 of Tarleton’s school-record 663 total yards of offense, which is now also the new Tarleton standard for individual offense as Strahan broke Kevin Vickers’ 1994 record of 477 yards in a single game.

DEFENSIVECole Pitts, Texas A&M University - Commerce, JR, LB, Alvin, Texas, Alvin HSPitts led the No. 23 ranked Lions past West Texas A&M limiting the Buffs offense to only 398 yards in the 48-21 win. The Pitts led A&M-C defense limited the Buffs to just three plays in the first quarter while the Lions dominated time of possession to a tune of 11:29 to 3:31. In the second quarter, Pitts had four of his 10 tackles, but it was the second half where he established himself. In the third quarter, he had three more tackles including 1.5 for a loss, but his biggest contribution came at the end of third when he picked off a pass and took it 50 yards for the touchdown. It was Pitts’ first career pick and first career touchdown. In the fourth quarter, he added three more tackles including a pair of tackles behind the line of scrimmage. All told, the Lions limited the Buffs to only 153 yards through the air. A&M-Commerce, ranked second in the NCAA in tackles for a loss, accumulated 10 tackles behind the line.

SPECIAL TEAMSD’Maujeric Tucker, Eastern New Mexico University, SR, PR/KR, Lubbock, Texas, Frenship HSTucker sparked the Greyhounds in the second half of Saturday’s game against Tarleton State with a 100-yard kick return. The run marked the second time in his career he has scored on a kickoff return with the other coming at West Texas A&M last season. It also was the fifth 100-yard kick return in team history. Tucker averaged 42 yards on three returns in the game and caught a 27-yard pass.

OTHER TOP PERFORMERS E’lon Spight, Eastern New Mexico University, averaged at least seven yards on more than 25 carries against a Lone Star Conference opponent for the second straight week. He churned out a career-high 193 yards and crossed the goal line three times against Tarleton State. Of his 27 carries, nine resulted in Greyhound first

downs. Spight has scored at least one touchdown in all seven of Eastern’s games this season and seven in the last two games. Geremy Alridge-Mitchell, West Texas A&M University, had his fifth consecutive game of over 100 yards rushing as he had 160 yards on 28 carries with two touchdowns at No. 23 Texas A&M-Commerce Saturday. A-Mitchell’s 160 yards is the second-highest output of the season for him and he has scored two touchdowns in three consecutive games. He has 765 yards on the ground on 160 carries and 10 touchdowns. Hagen Hutchinson, Midwestern State University, making his collegiate debut in the second half, directed the Mustangs to four touchdowns as Midwestern State pounded McMurry 71-13. The 6-2, 185 pound redshirt freshman from Stamford collected 188 yards of total offense and accounted for three touchdowns in the win. Hutchinson rushed for 106 yards on 10 carries with touchdown runs of three (his first collegiate TD) and 46 yards. He also connected on 6-of-7 passes for 82 yards and tossed his first collegiate touchdown pass with a 14-yard strike to Jerryl Yarbrough. MSU rolled up a season best 566 yards in the win. Kyle Washington, Angelo State University, tied a career high with four passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns as the Rams racked up 615 yards of offense in a 57-31 win over Texas A&M-Kingsville. The junior quarterback threw for 292 yards in the air on 19-of-30 passing. Washington hit eight different receivers on the night. He carried the ball seven times for 45 yards averaging 6.4 yard per carry. It marks the fourth game of at least 250 yards in through air this season and the first of four touchdowns. The Humble native leads the LSC with 345.7 yards of total offense per game. Tyrik Rollison, Texas A&M University - Commerce, led the No. 23 Lions to a 48-21 win over West Texas as A&M-Commerce clinched at worst a share of the Lone Star Conference Championship. Rollison distributed the ball to eight different receivers for a total of 355 yards and three TDs in just over three quarters of play as he saw limited action in the fourth quarter. The highlight of the game was a 61-yard bomb to Ricky Collins, one of three TD connections by the duo, when Rollison stepped up to avoid the rush and hit the open Collins for a TD. The score gave the Lions a 16-14 lead in the second quarter -- a lead they would not relinquish. Following a surprise onside kick, Rollison was masterfully connecting on three of his four passes for 34 yards as the Lions put the game out of reach taking a 23-14 lead late in the second quarter. In the Lions 25-point third quarter, Rollison was spectacular going 4-of-5 for 106 yards and two TDs -- passes of 28 and 27 yards. His 355 yards through the air was the second highest total given up by the Buffs defense who entered the game allowing just 222.5 passing yards per game. Trevor Moses, Texas A&M University - Kingsville, registered a season-high 17 tackles in Saturday’s loss to Angelo State... the Corpus Christi native recorded four solo tackles and one quarterback hurry to lead all players. Marc Martinez, Tarleton State University, was a dominant defender for the Tarleton State Texans as he led his squad to their second-straight win last weekend with a 59-42 victory in Black Water Draw. Martinez and the Tarleton defense dominated the Greyhounds over the opening first half while the Texan offense built an insurmountable 38-7 lead at halftime. Martinez accounted for 14 tackles and was in on a quarterback sack. In Tarleton’s dominant first half, the Texans were holding Eastern New Mexico to less than 200 yards of total offense.

Marqui Christian, Midwestern State University, paced the Mustangs to their best defensive performance of the season as Midwestern State ripped McMurry 71-13. Christian posted his fourth straight double-digit tackle game of the season as MSU, recording all of his stops in the game’s first three quarters. The 6-1, 200 pound junior from Spring, Texas, tallied 11 tackles (six solo), including his first career sack for a loss of seven yards in the second quarter, and a pass breakup. MSU held the War Hawks to 245 total yards and 13 points, season lows for McMurry and season bests for MSU. Seth Bailey, Eastern New Mexico University, paced the Greyhound defense against Tarleton State, with 10 tackles, which included 2.5 for a loss. He also had an interception during Eastern’s second-half rally and blocked a field goal. Bubba Tandy, Tarleton State University, tallied a season-high 76 punt return yards on three punt returns, including a team-best return of 64 yards. Combining with 98 receiving yards, Tandy totaled 174 all-purpose yards on just five touches. Paul Mason, Angelo State University, sparked the Rams in the second quarter with a punt return touchdown. The senior returned the punt 41-yards for his second career punt return touchdown and the first by ASU since 2012. Mitchell Henton, Midwestern State University, helped the Mustangs control field position in Midwestern State’s 71-13 win over McMurry. The 6-2, 205 pound redshirt freshman punted three times 140 yards, averaging 46.7 yards, with no returns. Henton had a long of 50 yards, had another punt fair caught at the five and the third skip through the end zone for a touchback. Henton leads the Lone Star Conference in punting with an average of 42.7 yards a punt. Chase Thrasher, Texas A&M University - Commerce, was instrumental in the No. 23 Lions 48-21 win over WT. Thrasher pinned the Buffs inside their on 20 yard line three times with punts. He also aided in stifling the Buffs return game with two touchbacks. All told, the Buffs started five drives inside of their own 25-yard line, including one drive inside the 15, due Thrasher’s kickoffs. On arguably one of the biggest momentum changing plays of the game and with the contest still undecided, Thrasher executed a perfect 29-yard surprise onside kick just over the front line of the Buffs. The ball was recovered by the Lions and one play later, A&M-Commerce found pay dirt with a touchdown that seemingly put the game out of reach.

Tarleton State Tarleton State earned its second straight win with another record-setting performance last Saturday. Led by 543 total yards of offense from QB Collin Strahan, Tarleton State set a new senior college-era record of 663 total yards en route to a 59-42 win over the Greyhounds in Blackwater Draw, NM. Strahan wasn’t the only one to etch his name into the Tarleton record books, however, as Clifton Rhodes III hauled in five passes on the night to become the new all-time reception leader in school history and break Harlan Wunsch’s 45-year old record of 188. Le’Nard Meyers also had a career night as he became the second Texan since 1961 to catch four touchdowns in a single game. The Texans are now 3-3 and 3-2 in LSC play and will travel to Abilene for a 2 p.m. against McMurry Saturday.

Texas A&M-Commerce The Lions clinched their first LSC title since 1990 and the program’s 21st championship following the 48-21 win over West Texas A&M. A&M-Commerce can wrap up the No. 1 seed in the LSC playoff with a win Saturday over Midwestern State.

Texas A&M-Kingsville A quick start for the Javelinas gave the Homecoming crowd a 10-0 lead following a 26-yard field goal by Max Lehnig and back-to-back firsts as an interception by Trevor Pesek led to a Deondric Lofton touchdown. However, Angelo State University (4-3, 3-2 LSC) showcased its nationally-ranked offensive attack en route to a 57-31 victory over Texas A&M-Kingsville (1-6, 0-5 LSC) on Saturday evening at Javelina Stadium. The Rams entered Kingsville ranked No. 15 nationally, averaging 41.8 points per game. With the victory, Angelo State puts an end to a seven-game losing streak when visiting Javelina Stadium for TAMUK’s Kleberg Bank Homecoming game. The Javelinas still lead the all-time series, 33-15. Pesek’s interception was the first of the season for TAMUK and after returning the pick for 28 yards, Trey Mitchell found Daniel Ramirez for 18 yards to enter the ASU red zone. Shawn Vasquez rushed for 14 yards before Lofton’s first career touchdown to give the Blue and Gold a 10-0 advantage with 3:57 left to play in the opening quarter.

West Texas A&M The Buffs’ four game winning streak came to an end with a 48-21 loss at No. 23 Texas A&M-Commerce Saturday evening...With the loss, the Buffs fell to 4-3 on the year and 3-2 in Lone Star Conference play and are tied for second in the league standings with two games remaining in the regular season...Despite the setback, WT junior running back Geremy Alridge-Mitchell tallied his fifth consecutive game of over 100 yards rushing with 160 yards on 28 carries and two touchdowns...His two touchdowns also marked the third consecutive game of having two TD’s on the ground...The offense struggled for portions of the game as WT had an uncharacteristic season-high four turnovers in the game with a season-high three interceptions and one lost fumble...The Buffs had a season-high 245 yards rushing...The defense didn’t register a sack for just the second time this season and had a season-low three tackles for loss...Senior wide receiver Anthony Johnson tallied 58 yards on five catches as he moved into the top 10 all-time in receiving yards...Johnson has 1,967 career yards surpassing Duane Joubert (1992-1995) for 10th all-time in school history…Joubert had 1,952 career yards…Johnson needs just 14 catches to move into the top 10…Junior Jarrian Rhone caught his

first touchdown of the season against Texas A&M-Commerce as he had three receptions for 31 yards in the game…Rhone’s touchdown brought the Buffs within 9-7 in the second quarter and was his eighth career receiving touchdown…This Saturday, the Buffs return home for Senior Day as the team has 16 players playing in their final regular season home game against Texas A&M-Kingsville…WT is 11-16-1 all-time against TAMUK…The Javelinas haven’t visited Canyon since a 23-17 overtime victory on Sept. 27, 2009….The Buffs and Javelinas have played in Kingsville in 2010 and 2013 and at the LSC Festival in Arlington in 2011 and 2012…WT has won three-straight in the series and seven of nine since 2005…The Buffs are just 3-8 at home against TAMUK since 1946…A win over the Javelinas would give WT a 5-3 record overall and a 4-2 mark in LSC play…Would be the 494th win in school history (493-489-22)…Would be the 16th win for head coach Mike Nesbitt in his two-year career at WT (15-6).
