Win, win, win and win is all the Lions football team has done this season after winning their fifth straight game, 51-14, this weekend over Southland foe Northwestern State University. 

After entering the matchup undefeated in FCS play, the Lions had yet another explosive offensive game by dropping 51 points on the Demons. Senior quarterback Cole Kelley had his sixth straight 300+ yard game of the season. He also added three passing touchdowns along with 79 rushing yards on the evening. 

For the third straight game, the Lions’ defense held their opponent to fewer points than the previous week. Southeastern’s secondary picked off Northwestern State quarterback Zachary Clement twice in the blowout victory. 

Dual sport athlete Gage Larvadain also stepped up in place in the absence of receiver CJ Turner. The freshman wide receiver had three receptions for 104 yards and added one touchdown on the night. Larvadain also had an 88-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter.
