Latest Preview (Week Recent)

Slow Start Not Enough

Sam Houston took a 10-0 lead in the first quarter with a field goal and a 54-yard touchdown pass, but could not maintain the momentum, allowing Middle Tennessee to tie the game before halftime and eventually take control.

Offensive Struggles in Second Half

After the initial lead, the Bearkats' offense stalled, scoring only a late touchdown after the game was decided. Quarterback Landyn Locke threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns but also had a costly interception.

Defensive Lapses

The defense allowed Middle Tennessee to rally from a 10-0 deficit, giving up 31 points including a 77-yard drive and a 33-yard touchdown run by the quarterback, highlighting issues in containing mobile quarterbacks and sustaining pressure.

Lack of Run Game

The Bearkats relied heavily on passing, with Locke attempting 40 passes, while the running game was not a significant factor, limiting their ability to control the clock and keep the defense off the field.

Playoff Hopes Dashed

With the loss, Sam Houston falls to 2-9 overall and 1-6 in conference play, eliminating any chance of a bowl game and ending their season on a disappointing note after a promising start.
