KINGSVILLE, Texas (Football) – There's no better way to head into Lone Star Conference play than the showing the Javelinas gave the 10,200 fans at Javelina Stadium. #RV Texas A&M University-Kingsville jumped out to a 40-0 lead after the opening 15 minutes and began the second half with the same offensive explosion, adding Myles Carr's fourth touchdown of the first half and second to Anthony Autry. All in all, the Hogs improved to 2-0 for the first time since 2012 with a 68-7 victory over Simon Fraser University (0-2) Saturday evening.

The opening quarter was full of firsts; Greg Pitre's first rushing touchdown since 2014, Nick Pelrean's first career score on the ground and Anthony Autry's two TDs. Carr's four touchdowns extend his streak to 14 consecutive throwing TDs without a touchdown.
