BEAUMONT, Texas - Lamar football Saturday played what coach Ray Woodard called "probably the best game we played since I've been here."On offense, the Cardinals scored touchdowns the first three times they had the ball. Running backs combined for more than 200 rushing yards, and quarterback Ryan Mossakowski completed 21 passes to nine different receivers.
On defense, Lamar never let Prairie View A&M beyond the Lamar 28, and that was on the opening drive of the game. That drive ended when linebackers Ronnie Jones and Jestin White stuffed the visiting Panthers on a fourth-and-1 run. The 249 total yards allowed were the fewest against an NCAA Division I team since the revived football program returned in 2010.
The result - a 31-0 victory - boosted spirits after the 40-0 loss at Louisiana-Lafayette opened the season a week earlier.
"I needed it, the coaches needed it, players needed it, fans needed it," Woodard said. "A good step. I thought we really improved as a team from getting off the bus at Lafayette to (Saturday night)."
