Sports Update For Week Of Oct. 22
FOOTBALL
Sam Houston State will face 17th ranked McNeese State Saturday at 2 p.m. in the annual Bearkat Homecoming game. The match-up brings together two teams tied for second place in the Southland Football League standings.The Bearkats, ranked 22nd nationally in I-AA football last week, fell to 10th ranked Troy State last Saturday in Huntsville. Mistakes in the kicking game, normally a Bearkat strength, cost SHSU dearly. The Bearkats missed three field goals and allowed kickoff returns of 95 and 58 yards to give the Trojans both their touchdowns.
Quarterback Albert Bradley passed for 247 yards and a touchdown and ran for a second score. The Bearkats produced their sixth punt block in seven games this year late in the third quarter when Keith Davis blocked a Troy State punt at the 21-yard line and his younger brother, DeJuan Davis, picked up the ball at the seven yard line and ran it in to cut the Troy State margin to 16-14.
The Bearkat defense played an outstanding game, limiting Troy State to just 205 total yards.
