LAST TIME OUTShawn Vasquez continued to run the ball at will behind great protection by the offensive line, but despite leading all TAMUK players with 107 rushing yards, Texas A&M-Kingsville fell victim to costly penalties as West Texas A&M University (5-3, 4-2 LSC) defeated the Javelinas, 48-21.
The Hogs outrushed the Buffaloes 301-196 but were tagged 99 yards on 11 penalties. WT took advantage of those miscues to keep steady in the jam-packed Lone Star Conference standings. West Texas holds the second slot in the LSC with tiebreakers over Midwestern State and Angelo State. However, Tarleton State University earned a win earlier today and holds the edge over the Buffs.
Trevor Pesek and
Trevor Moses registered double-digit tackles for the third time this season with 12 and 11, respectively. Lively finished with two quarterback hits and
Kyle Williams recorded his first solo sack of the season (1.5 total in 2014). Hobbs added eight and
Marquis Cardinal Jr. finished with 40 rushing yards.
