The Lions jumped out to 13 to 0 lead and cruised to a 27 to 7 lead at the half. The Lions continued to have success going up to a 41 to 7 lead early in the 4th quarter. The Javelinas finally stated to have success in the 4th quarter and scored 21 unanswered points in a game that was already over. The Javelinas finally had good stats through the air. It came at the expense of the run game with a -14 yards rushing.

Takeaways: Commerce dominated a game that typically had been dominated by Kingsville. The Lions continue to get success through the air but have yet to establish a good running game. Commerce had great special team play and the secondary came up with several big plays. The Javelinas were completely shut down in the running game and found their success in the air. Surprising fact: Kingsville out gained Commerce through the air in passing yards, 212 to 205.

Final Score: Midwestern State 66 McMurry 20Takeaways:Game of the Week: Tarleton State v. West Texas A&M
Final Score: Tarleton State 31 West Texas A&M 27

This was definitely a tale of two halves. The buffaloes were completely in control of this game with a 27 to 3 lead at the half. The buffs dominated ten-fold in the first half and the Texans dominated ten-fold in the second half. The Texans came out of halftime with a mission. They completely stymied the buff offense and shutdown WT, giving them their first loss on the season. The Texans will move on with their perfect season still intact.

Takeaways: Tarleton proved that they are a real contender in the LSC and in Division 2 football. As of late, WT has been one of the primary dominant teams in the LSC. This weekend, the Texans showed that they could step up and be another dominant team in the LSC. The LSC has been needing another tier 1 team in the LSC. Is Tarleton State that team?
