Hi, everybody.
Welcome to the month of November and welcome to Post Game Notes here on LP.
I'm Victor Howell.
We are now down to the home stretch.
This is what you've been waiting for.
The by weeks are now bygone.
Everybody has a lot to focus on as we come down the stretch of this college football season, and plenty to talk about from week nine here on post-game notes with the teams that were involved in action over the weekend.
And we're going to start in mobile, Alabama, because that's where Louisiana Tech was playing South Alabama on the line.
First place in the Sun Belt Conference, Western Division, remember.
Louisiana Tech is a newbie in the Sun Belt.
They were picked fourth in the conference and through four games in the month of October there for and oh make it five zero on Saturday and they are sitting all alone in first place.
And so we will take you out there to mobile.
Gordon, stay for football.
We were expecting a lot of scoring in this ballgame.
Both offenses bring a lot to the table.
There's head coach Major Applewhite, former Catholic high quarterback of Baton Rouge native now coaching over there at South Alabama.
Remember, Louisiana Tech entered this ball game having given up no points in eight straight quarters.
Well the Jaguars took care of that.
Jarrett Hollis Anthony Eager seven nothing.
So that skid comes to an end.
But that's okay.
Bulldogs answer on offense Blake Baker to race on hurt.
He puts a hurt on 67 yards.
Look at the defender bottom left of your screen.
Great effort to knock him out of bounds at the four yard line on the very next play Andrew Burnett he takes it to the right side.
And early on we are tied at seven.
Jags offense comes right back down the field.
Left side again once again as Hollins to eager.
And it's 147 South Alabama early second quarter.
How about this nifty little 30 yard run by her.
She cuts back here.
Splits two defenders avoids a tackle there.
Nice cut back there.
Gets it inside the 40.
Great yardage for the Bulldogs.
And it's going to lead to a 22 yard touchdown pass from Baker to Marcus.
Kauai's junior as he comes across the middle gets it into the end zone.
And we're tied at 14.
Back and forth we go.
Now first big decision that would have consequences.
Fourth and one Major Applewhite decides to roll the dice.
And once again it's Hollins to eager.
But this time he's looking right side at midfield and it's dropped.
Hits him in the chest, but eager can't hold on to it.
So Louisiana Tech, how about a little razzle dazzle?
Yeah, that's a quarterback running out in motion.
That's Baker to Tray Kuka who finds Jaylen Mickens all along with the touchdown.
And the Bulldogs make him pay.
And they have the lead.
But USA has the answer Keenan Phillips 11 yards up the middle.
And back and forth we go.
It's 2120 Louisiana Tech.
It takes eight plays for tech to go 75 yards.
Baker cow junior again watch which is kind of drift across the middle.
And then once he has an opening yeah he's gone there trying to rip apart everything.
They can't grab on to him.
Gets him in the end zone 35 yards.
It's 2820 Louisiana Tech in the second half deep in their own territory.
South Alabama's got problems Phillips gets popped.
Great placement.
Shoulder pads and helmet.
Ball comes loose.
Dogs jump on it and they waste little time to convert that mistake into points.
Baker to Luke Watkins for the touchdown.
That gives Louisiana Tech some breathing room 3520.
And that's the score late in the ballgame Jared Hollins is desperate.
He heaves one up.
Lockhart gets the pick for Louisiana Tech.
It's a five for five month of October for the Bulldogs, who sit all alone in first place in the Sun Belt Conference Western Division, the first win over the Jags since 2018.
And congratulations to Texas also becoming bowl eligible as they ride a five game win streak into the month of November.
Next up, back on the road in Alabama against Troy, here's head coach Sonny Cumbie.
Yeah just a gutsy win by our football team I thought that it was a complete team win.
You know it really in the second half there was a sequence where we had and I really think it started when Lexington pinned Southall inside the ten yard line.
In terms of that punt, he flipped the field.
He did a great job of bouncing back in terms of, you know, his response to not having his best punt when we were backed up punting against the wind.
And then he goes against the wind and gives us a great punt, flips the field.
I think 1 or 2 plays later we were able to get the fumble and then we score on offense and just really proud of our football team.
I thought that this team played together and fed each other well at different points at the time in the game, you know, we got to play, you know, tackle better in the first half.
I think that was really a big concern.
We didn't tackle as well as we could have in the first half.
Second half.
You know Coach Olsen and his staff did a great job with the adjustments.
Again the players did a great job of handling them, able to get a shut out in the second half and then we got the touchdown to put us up by 15.
So it's going to be a fun drive home and glad to to to stay you know undefeated in Sunbelt play.
And you know I think they just they played really well together.
They're smart football players and they take coaching really well.
And I think that's the thing.
Anything that we do from an adjustment standpoint, any tweaks that we make at halftime or even in between series or in between drives, our players are able to apply it.
And I think that they take a lot of pride in how they play.
Again, they understood when we got in at halftime, it wasn't up to the standard of how they can play, and there was room for them to be better, and they did that.
And I did a lot of joy in that one there.
Matt.
Yeah, to be six and two, there are a lot more goals ahead of us.
And, you know, we're going to really enjoy this trip back home and then basically reassess and recalibrate and take that aim at Troy and have an opportunity to have a one game season.
We got four of them left, and I've just been really proud of how our players have embraced that and understand that, that what it takes to win is Monday through Friday, and having great walkthroughs and meetings on Saturday morning.
And they did that this week.
And and it'll be a big challenge next week to be able to do that.
But I'm proud of our football team responded today.
So the month of October started with that big win over Army, then four straight in conference play.
They're back in the state of Alabama against Troy.
But here's the remaining schedule.
Don't look now.
But the road to the Sun Belt Conference championship might go through Ruston, Louisiana down in New Orleans, the Tulane Green Wave.
They were stung with the first home loss of the season, losing to the Roadrunners from UT San Antonio.
Now they had to go on the road on a short week fighting night they were in Charlotte back in conference play looking for the first road win of the season.
This one wound up turning out to be a fantastic ballgame and probably a little closer than the Green Wave won it.
But let's take out Charlotte and show you how this thing came down.
Friday night.
Affair with the green and white against the green and white.
And a tough season for Charlotte so far.
But we'll Hall looking to see if his team can rebound and rebound.
They would.
This opening drive was quite the scene for the Tulane Greenway.
The wave got the ball at the eight yard line and in over six minutes went 92 yards on this opening drive.
And you're seeing several of the third down conversions 15 plays a great mix of pass and run, the longest drive for the Green Wave in 20 years.
And it's capped off by Johnny Daniels two yard touchdown run.
Tulane's up seven.
Second quarter Trace Johnson's pass deflected near sideline picked off by Charlotte.
Jamil Croft grabs it and goes the other way for the Niners.
And that leads to Kamani Alexander.
He takes it makes one move there holding on to all the laundry.
Still doesn't matter.
Gets it into the end zone and we're tied at seven after a fumble on a kickoff return led to a Charlotte field goal.
It's now ten seven and they kick off again.
But this time TJ Smith isn't giving it up.
In fact, he's turning on the afterburners 95 yards and a cloud of dust on this kick return.
And it's 1410 green wave on top.
Let's fast forward 2421 Charlotte in the fourth quarter.
Gorgeous end around here to Derek Ely who just glides into the end zone.
Charlotte has a ten point lead.
But here comes Tulane 3124 under two minutes to play on a third and five.
And watch.
Daniels just refused to go down.
When it's all said and done it's 33 yards.
Great gain.
And the first down five plays later.
10s to go.
You got to have a touchdown.
And Trace Johnson finds Cameron Roberts in the end zone.
We're going to overtime Tulane gets the ball first and Bruno takes it in on the direct snap.
So now Charlotte knows it needs a touchdown.
In fact they had six chances inside the Tulane eight yard line and got nothing.
Last play.
Quarterback backing up off his heels throws it short.
And the Green Wave get their first win on the road.
We'll Hall knocking people over in celebration 38 to 31 to get the four and four on the season.
Two and two in the American.
It's the first road win for Tulane.
This is season.
Next up, they'll be back home for homecoming when the Golden Hurricane for Tulsa come calling the stadium his whole life.
The ball game over.
Time to get the stop to get it to over to.
We're down ten in the fourth quarter with ten minutes left.
And all everybody was talking about was, man, we're just two scores away from taking the lead.
We we drive it, kick a field goal and then we get a stop.
You know man they first and goal at the eight with four tries.
And we were able to keep them out.
And I thought it was great adjustments by our D staff going down the stretch.
And I thought it was a great adjustment by our players.
The offense knew what we had to do, like we we were moving the ball night.
The only time we weren't was when we were shooting ourselves in the foot.
So there was total belief and I didn't have to say much.
Just got the guys going a little bit.
And yeah, it was huge.
It was, it's if it proved anything, it proved that, we don't give up without a fight.
You know, it proved that we can keep going and keep going.
And even when our backs against the wall, we're going to find a way to win.
You know, whether the case, whatever the case may be.
So it proves that we got guys on both sides of the ball that are just straight dogs.
So, like anything, just keep chopping wood.
Love our team.
Love our love, our resolve.
Love how we're growing.
We're not where we we want to be.
But, man, we're where we're at.
And, we're we're we're laying a foundation with a lot of young guys to leap off of.
And we got to continue to improve and get better for next week.
Roll wave.
You know, if you want a life philosophy, that's your philosophy right there.
We're not where we want to be.
We're at we're at.
That's exactly right.
And here's where Tulane is four and four in the season.
The teams in yellow left on the schedule.
Two more wins for Tulane Bowl eligibility.
Next up will be the Golden Hurricane from Tulsa when they call Gillman Stadium on Saturday.
All right.
Let's take out to Texas now where southeastern was taking on East Texas A&M.
Let's go inside the huddle.
Do not kick it to decay Joseph.
If we have to punt, do not kick it to decay.
Joseph two minutes of the ballgame.
East Texas A&M on fourth down is going to punt.
And they're going to kick it to the Chi.
Joseph we have said this on more than one occasion.
We talked to head coach Frank self about this.
Why do teams keep going to him.
You might do it once.
You're not going to do it a second time.
There he goes 58 yards for the touchdown two minutes into the ballgame.
Lions offense hasn't hit the field yet.
Southeastern is up seven to nothing now.
Two minutes into the second quarter Middlebrooks up the middle he goes and he avoids any contact.
He's gone 35 yards for the touchdown.
We are tied at seven.
First play of the next possession Kyle Low goes to Kai Joseph.
They can't catch him on a punt return.
Why can't they get him as a wide receiver.
Beautiful catch by Joseph 54 yards.
And the Lions are in good shape.
But two plays later not so much the handoff to DeAndre Jackson up the middle.
Bad exchange with Kyle Low.
The ball goes bouncing around.
East Texas A&M recovers and takes the other direction.
Let's go.
Late third quarter.
We're still tied at seven Isaac Mooring now at quarterback.
He's looking left.
He's still looking left.
He is locked into the left.
And that's an interception.
Didn't look anybody off.
He was trying to go to Joseph as well.
But he's Texas A&M gets the interception tomorrow.
Mosley with the pick now fourth quarter.
We're still tied at seven from 49 yards out Ozzie Rigby.
And it is good ten seven East Texas A&M.
Now southeastern had already missed a field goal from 53.
But they get the ball back.
Six seconds to go from 52.
And Drew Talley has the distance but it's wide left.
The only scoring for the Lions comes in that opening punt return in the first quarter.
East Texas A&M gets the win 10 to 7.
Look at the turnovers four for southeastern three for East Texas A&M.
Yuck.
Next up for the Lions.
They'll stay on.
They'll go back home actually in Hammond next weekend.
And Cornett Ward makes a visit to Hammond.
Grambling Tigers coming off a bye week back in action.
They were over in Texas taking on Texas State.
Same team that just beat southern one week ago.
So back to back Louisiana ponies for Tsu inside the five after a 14 play drive.
Loose ball.
Grambling would recover.
Second quarter on a fourth and nine Miguel Aranha the hero from a week ago with that game winning field goal against southern from 47 yards out, capped a 13 play drive.
It's three nothing tissue.
Next possession gorgeous pass from Ashton Fries and Mason Dickerson 40 yards on the reception here.
And that's going to lead to a Theodore Caballero 29 yard field goal three three early third quarter Ashton Fry now in the keeper.
Watch him go left.
You'll see the opening yourself when he bounces to the outside.
Right there.
Look at the window.
Cuts it back, gets it into the end zone and the G men are up.
Ten three.
Let's go.
Fourth quarter.
Because that's where we say hello to 80 and Renfro and Renfro becomes a problem.
Signs the hole here.
Low center of gravity.
And he is boot scooting 75 yards on the touchdown as he makes a defender miss.
And we are tied at ten.
3.5 minutes into the fourth quarter he does it again this time from 86 yards.
It's a one play drive and he is pulling away from the pack 161 yards on those two plays alone.
And TSA has the lead.
But here comes Grambling to bounce back under five minutes to play Ashton Fry to Murphy.
Back in the end zone.
It's good.
The extra point is good and we are going to overtime.
Grambling gets the ball first after six plays.
They can't do anything with it.
They have to settle for the field goal.
So at least TSA knows it needs a field goal to tie a touchdown to win it.
And Cameron McCoy, who spent his time in the state of Louisiana last year, now quarterback for TS.
You got past southern last week.
Gets past Grambling this week.
Takes it in to the right side as they sweep the Louisiana opponents this season in the Swac, 23 to 20 is the final score of Texas.
Southern wins it in overtime.
Renfro runs for 233 and two touchdowns as Grambling has 286 total yards.
Texas Southern north of 430.
Next up for the Tigers back home against Arkansas Pine Bluff.
And as we just mentioned, the southern grad Southern Jaguars struggled in Houston one week ago when they lost to Tsu on that game winning field goal.
Now from going west the Jaguars this weekend went east.
They were in Tallahassee taking on Famu, a team that southern hasn't beaten in the last six tries dating back to 2019.
Let's take into the highlights and show you this.
Remember one game Saturday morning we heard fam coach saying hey we are excited.
Should be a great atmosphere y human jukebox is coming.
Oh yeah, they were there.
They were ready for the action.
Marshall Faulk and his team were two midway through the first quarter.
Christian Johnson, look at the time.
He had beautiful 40 yard pass to Cam Jefferson.
And two plays later Trey Holley on the direct snap.
Touchdown seven nothing.
Jags on the road later in the first watch Johnson this time snap.
Step up into the pocket.
Lofts one up yeah Deshaun Smith fantastic grab for 32 yards.
And the Jags offense is moving.
Champ Davison takes it in ten yards to the right side.
It's 14.
Nothing.
Jags on the road in the first quarter.
Now the Rattlers do crack the scoreboard.
Five minutes into the second quarter Ahmad Parker to Jake Horn read.
He breaks one tackle avoids another gets it in the end zone to make it 147.
But the Jags only need one play to answer.
And that player who answers it is Trey Holly.
Did I mentioned low center of gravity earlier?
Watch him break through the line and he will pull away from the pack 65 yards.
How good has he been watching Marshall Faulk and read his lips from the sideline.
Ready.
You got to keep him fresh.
You better believe it because Holly had a monster day for the Jags on this one.
Next possession Jags defense stands tall Michael Williams in the right place at the right time.
He gets the interception for the Jags and it leads to another southern touchdown.
This time Johnson fakes the handoff fakes the pitch.
Lost one up.
Plenty of air.
Look at the one handed snag by Aidan Valdez 28 to 7 Jags.
But we're not done for.
To A and M knocking on the doorstep from the three yard line.
Huge hit ball just floats Williams the second pixel off again.
And he's got a convoy all the way back 96 yards for the touchdown.
The Jaguars were in complete control of this thing at halftime.
Did somebody mention halftime I believe I did.
And there's the human jukebox.
So everybody's having fun.
Jags get the win in impressive fashion 42 to 14.
Holly had 204 yards and two touchdowns on the day as the Jags rushed for 311.
And they hold Famu to just 87.
They're back on the bluff next weekend to host the Cookman.
Here's Marshall Faulk after the game.
Happy for my guys.
You know last week we played on Butts Off and lost the Colts when at Tsu.
And to watch them come back to work with the same dedication and effort.
Although we were disappointed in the outcome they understand is about the process and that that same process is what led to a great week of work today and us traveling a very long trip to to come here and get a win.
Well, there's another team in Louisiana that has been working the process.
That's the demons from Northwestern State back to back.
Outstanding efforts for Northwestern State.
But back to back losses.
Still looking for that first win of the season.
They tried to take it on the road Saturday and they were looking for a good start when they were hosting or they were on the road taking on UW Incarnate Word, hosting the demons.
And well, it did not go well.
Kind of a long day for them, really.
McCorkle still looking for some answers.
They played so well at home.
A pass in the end zone to win it got intercepted.
Could they carry that momentum?
It was a quick start for Incarnate Word and it would make for a long day.
Early first quarter Emmett Brown Roy Alexander shoestring tackle, 44 yards.
Three plays later Jayden Hibbler look at the quick stop here.
He's breaking ankles on his way to the end zone.
17 yards at seven.
Nothing incarnate word when bad luck hits, Zach Wilkie passes to Zay.
Davis bounces through his hands right into the defender.
And that's Darius Carmouche.
How many times have we seen that this season?
It's just like that now it's 14.
Nothing.
And it gets worse still in the first Brown with time hits Jacob Emmerson.
That's good for 28 yards.
And it's 21.
Nothing second quarter though.
Look one thing we know about this team is they're not just going to pack it up and quit.
Yeah they might be losing.
They might have some rough spots but they keep going.
Zach Wilkie to Almas Eugene for 12 yards.
And then two plays later Wilkie to Cameron Davis for the score 17 yards on the pass that made it 28 to 7.
Hibbler had himself a big day over 100 yards rushing.
You saw one touchdown earlier.
Here's the second 52 yards up the middle, the second of his three on the afternoon.
Later in the game, Wilkie would leave the game.
They'd bring back Abraham Johnston.
Remember, he was the demon's starting quarterback at the beginning of the season and last year.
Haven't seen him in a while.
But remember that.
Don't quit.
Look at the pass to Jake 47 yards as Peabody refuses to go down.
And later Johnson is going to punch it in from one yard out games out of hand.
Yes.
Trying to improve.
Yes, Johnson gets the score, but that's it for the demons on the day.
This was all Incarnate Word at home 66 to 14 as you I w goes north of 560 in total yards.
I mentioned Hibbler had three scores.
Next up for the demons.
So we a tough one at home against Utrgv.
Here's head coach Blaine McCorkle that dominated in all three phases.
Every which way you can spit it.
There's no other way to describe it.
I mean, they kick their butt from start to finish and, you know, but the thing that was disappointing is, you know, I think for eight straight weeks, we've gotten better.
And I don't know that we did this week.
I don't know that we can leave the field today saying, you know, there's some positives that we got better at because we just got absolutely, physically dominated.
So, we'll go back to work.
We got three more games, try to find a win or two.
And the biggest thing we got to do is piece together some bodies.
I'm not sure who we're going to play with.
You know, we we finish the game with an offensive lineman playing in the defensive line and a defensive lineman that doesn't have an ACL played in the game.
So, got a lot of bumps and bruises we got to figure out.
So we got to be smart with how we practice this week to to get ready for you to all walk off, please report to play.
McCorkle office needing some players down the stretch.
So here it is UT are at home and then Houston Christian before they finished the season on a short week on the road at the top team in the conference in Stephen F Austin.
Well, one team that was feeling good.
The Warhawks from you.
Monroe coming off that first win of the season on the road at Troy, they were at home hosting Southern Miss four minutes into the game.
Aiden are meant to see J. Philip 24 yards on the completion.
It's a ten play, 67 yard drive down to the eight, but Don Chaney gets taken down.
But before he hits the ground, he lands on the body and the ball comes out.
That's a fumble.
And the Golden Eagles get it down seven.
Nothing in the second.
Abraham Murray wide right from 42 yards out.
So two missed opportunities early in this ball game for the Warhawks ten.
Nothing now in the third.
You know what.
Let's make up for some lost time.
One play 83 yards.
Amen to to Marcellus Jackson.
Forget about it.
He takes it to the house and it is ten seven southern miss and the Hawks now have some of that momentum.
Stephen Robinson has been a problem for everybody all season long.
This young man just is a bowling ball out of the backfield.
42 yards on the run for the Golden Eagles.
He had himself a great day north of 150 yards rushing.
Third and seven from the 21 Mariusz Wilder says I'll take all 21.
Thank you.
At 177 Southern Miss under five minutes to go in the third.
Landry Liddy up top to Grant page for the touchdown 24732.
Yep we're celebrating on Halloween.
It's a big lead.
But here come the Warhawks.
Another team that just doesn't quit.
Armenta a 12 play, 75 yard drive.
It's 2714 under seven to go.
Are meant to.
Then looks left and throws a rope to Nick Trujillo.
It's 2721 with six and a half to play.
We got us a ball game until Wilder and Golden Eagles put this one away, this time from 32 yards out.
He gets it into the end zone while the runs for 104 Robinson runs for 151.
And Southern Miss goes to Monroe and gets the win.
35 to 21 on the day are meant to 202 passing yards and two touchdowns.
I told you about Robinson's day.
Next up for the Warhawks.
They go on the road, take on Arkansas State.
Here's head coach Brian Vincent after the game.
He's right there, Miss Field.
You had an opportunity to do all the things that that we didn't execute or we gave them extra opportunities.
We still had the ball, you know, 21, 26, 21 with an opportunity to drive down and win it.
And that's all you can ask for, you know, opportunity to win it.
Our defense has been relentless in their effort.
We just got to compliment each other.
And we do that winning field position in the kicking game by establishing and sustaining drives.
You know, not turning it over, putting them in tough positions.
You know one turnover puts them right there in the red zone after we just came up with a big stop.
And they've been put in bad positions.
But they continue to bow their neck.
They continue.
And I think just as it goes, you know they just after so many attempts, you know they're bound to hit a play.
You know they got players to and it just we got to do a better job of complementing each other.
Well the McNeese Cowboys made it back home to Lake Charles for the first time in a month.
For a ballgame.
It was homecoming.
They started a little later, decided to start at 2:00.
Saturday was trick or treating.
You remember the forecast?
5,060% chance of rain.
I don't know what had happened where you were in the state, but check out what happened at Lake Charles between the Nicholls Colonels and the Cowboys.
It was a hot mess.
Don't even worry about the kickoff.
That's how hard it's raining.
Because look at the rain coming down at the stadium.
God bless the people that sat through this one under ponchos, umbrellas and whatever.
It was a hot mess all day long.
But we played football.
That's what they do.
And Chase Richardson hits chance.
Babineaux.
Great catch by Babineaux in the horrible weather.
He goes 40 yards.
Just want to mention horrible weather.
Next play.
Bad snap.
Handoff fumble.
Ball's coming out.
Cowboys are going to jump on top of it.
Let's go.
First play of the second quarter.
And once again it's going to be the Colonels offense Shane Lee another one of those running backs with low center of gravity.
He waits finds his avenue and he's this close to getting points.
Why is that important?
Well, he gets it down to the one and a half.
And then two plays later Jayden Milton fumble.
Wet ball again squirts into the end zone.
Cowboys get it.
We've got no points.
It's a monsoon in Lake Charles.
Let's keep going.
Ensuing McNeese drive Brady barrier in at quarterback.
Trying to trick play Clark.
Clark floats a duck.
Ball slips out of his hand.
Gets tipped.
Nichols gets the interception.
That's Charlie Diedrich that gets the pick for the Colonels.
End of the first half.
We are going to get some points.
Watch this pass to make sure there's no trouble.
It's literally like a shovel push pass.
But you know what.
It worked.
Hutch Swilly takes it the distance 32 yards and the Cowboys are on the board.
Seven nothing.
Colonels get a field goal to make it seven three.
Now they're trying to make it seven six.
I can't believe how hard it's still raining in Lake Charles.
It's a bad snap on the field.
Goal balls bouncing around and Amari and Mingo picks it up and you can forget it.
He's going to scoot his way into the end zone.
70 yards on the return.
Tough conditions all afternoon.
Congratulations to the homecoming queen.
Whoever she was.
Hopefully she had a chance to get on the field.
16 to 3 was her final score.
Look at the turnovers.
Seven fumbles for the Colonels.
Just one for McNeese.
Next up for Nicholls, they'll be at home against East Texas A&M while the Cowboys go back on the road.
They will be in Houston to take on Houston Christian.
And we have a full slate of action next weekend coming up with all the big teams coming back, making the stretch run, and we can't wait to get you ready when we see you for game notes Saturday morning.
Until then, I'm Victor Howell.
Thanks so much for joining us and recap in week nine.
