LU loses to Nicholls.  Nicholls clinches the automatic qualifier spot for the FCS playoffs. 

UIW was scheduled for NWST, but that game had been cancelled for weeks. UIW can still share the SLC title with Nicholls with a final weekend win coupled with a Nicholls loss. As stated Nicholls holds the SLC playoff spot, this is due to the head to head win earlier over UIW.  

SELA beat A&M Commerce. 

HCU knocked off McNeese and set the school record for wins.  This win also ensures the first winning season in school history (includes forfeit by NWST).  

Next week...

LU host McNesse. A win and the Birds finish no worse than 3rd in conference.  Could end up tied with UIW for 2nd if UIW loses.  

Lamar win would give them a 6-5 record with 1 loss to an FBS program, 1 loss to the SLC champions, and the other 3 to ranked FCS opponents. Going into this past weekend, those 3 teams were ranked #4, #6, and #10. Most, I assume, would consider this a good start for the new coach.  Some might say much better than just good. 

UIW travels to HCU.  UIW will playing with hopes for a committee selection into the FCS playoffs.

Fightin' Fontenot's for the W. 

The conference bylaws count the forfeits for the conference and allows for the conference to use this for determining he automatic qualifier.  

At large teams are not given credit for the forfeits when considering participants in the playoffs by the NCAA FCS selection committee. 

 

Lamar beats Commerce. UiW loses to Nicholls. Nicholls lone undefeated team in conference play.  SELA defeated McNeese in the only other game today.

Conference issue with Northwestern "explained" below. 

I simply don't understand if the conference will influence the automatic qualifier.  The NCAA views of the forfeits doesn't clarify, at least to me, if the conference can determine the automatic qualifying team.  It seems to be no, but if so why are they listing the forfeits. I will ask around on Monday, unless someone smarter than me (doesn't take much) can interpret without speculating. 

41-21 final. LU moves to 4-1 in the SLC and 5-4 overall. 

Tough game next week at Nicholls then wrap up regular season at home against McNeese.  

42-14.  6:44.  

44-19 Nicholls early 4th. 

The SLC website (checked it just now) is showing the Northwestern games as forfeits.  This will put Lamar tied with UIW and 1 back of Nicholls if all holds up.  

Next week will set Lamar with an opportunity for a 3 way tie.  

35-14.  8:54 to play.  Best drive of the day for Commerce. 

35-7 LU early in the 4th. 

Pick 6. LU up 28-7 with 6:42 left in the 3rd. 

Nicholls up 31-13, early 3rd. 

21-7 half.  Nicholls leads 24-13 over UIW,  halftime as well. 

A&M Commerce punt return has laid several in the ground helping LU tremendously. 21-7 LU with 1:49 until half. 

3 PM.  Win out and there is a shot at the FCS playoffs.  LU has to be a Nicholls fan today for that shot to be realistic.

Thank you Mr. Buddy for posting all the previous information.

After the sad passing of a teammate the quartback is now claiming the young man's death was used as an excuse to shut down the program.  Strong accusations, but if he is accurate the use of a young person's death to do this is beyond reprehensible.  

The university's response is in the article. 

The link is from KALB, however some national news groups are reporting in this as well.
