After week nine of the college football season, No.19 SLU stands proud as the best college football team in the state of Louisiana, with a 7-2 overall record and a 5-0 mark in the Southland Conference.

The green and gold have torn up McNeese (3-6, 2-3 SLC) 38-0 and Northwestern State (1-8, 0-5 SLC)  49-0, and only had one opponent in their conference score more than two touchdowns. Although the team’s season is not over yet, its student-athletes deserve praise.

The only struggle against conference opponents was against UTRGV. After they scored 42 points on the Vaqueros, the defense was gassed, ultimately leading to a somewhat close 45-31 finish.

Against HCU (2-7, 1-4 SLC) and East Texas A&M (2-7, 2-3 SLC), the defense allowed only 14 points in both games, while the offense scored over 90 points combined.

Statistically, the dynamic quarterback duo of Carson Camp and Kyle Lowe leads the high-scoring offense with 2,036 combined passing yards and 434 yards on the ground.

Alongside them is their reliable wide receiver, Jaylon Domingeaux, who has 630 reception yards and eight receiving touchdowns this season.

Defensively, the Lions have pounced on their opponents, allowing opposing offenses to score only 28 points total through the last four games. 

Senior defensive tackle Kaleb Proctor holds the trenches with 16 tackles and gets through the offensive line with a career high seven sacks this season.

Following the win against East Texas A&M last Saturday, SLU will take on No. 20 Lamar (7-2, 4-1 SLC) this Saturday, Nov. 8, at 3 p.m. on the road in Beaumont, Texas, before traveling again to San Antonio on Nov. 15 to face UIW (3-6, 1-4 SLC).

Then, Southeastern will play its last game of the regular season in its annual rivalry against Nicholls (3-6, 2-2 SLC) during the River Bell Classic in Strawberry Stadium.

After completing their season, they might share the regular-season SLC trophy with No.17 Stephen F. Austin if each team remains undefeated.

The results of a tie won’t hurt their chances for a spot in the FCS playoffs, as SLU and SFA are both highly ranked in the FCS top 25.

You can support the Lions by watching all games on ESPN+ or tuning into Southeastern Sports Radio Network as they climb the rankings before the FCS playoffs.

As always, stay tuned to The Lion’s Roar for all things Lions football.

A slightly out-of-focus close-up shot of a tabletop in an art or ceramics studio, featuring a collection of unpainted Halloween-themed clay crafts in the foreground. The central focus is on several small, sculpted ghost figures made from light-colored clay, each having two small, dark holes for eyes. Surrounding the ghosts are stacks of brown terra-cotta clay cutouts shaped like jack-o'-lanterns. In the middle ground, there are various jars of paint, a muddy-colored pot holding paintbrushes, and a newspaper protecting the work surface. In the background, a person wearing a black shirt has their arm and hand visible, holding a reddish-pink jar and preparing to paint or work on a craft. They are wearing a bracelet and rings. The overall scene suggests a craft or painting session for Halloween decorations.

A young man with dark, curly hair wearing a light yellow t-shirt with a graphic design and dark pants, is hunched over with his hands on his knees, looking forward with a serious expression. He appears to be on a stage with a theatrical backdrop that includes what looks like a deconstructed wooden structure and a window frame with a blue light behind it, suggesting a night scene. There's also some greenery at the bottom right. The lighting is focused on him, creating a spotlight effect.

The image is a Halloween-themed graphic with a dark purple and orange gradient background. Large, orange, spooky-looking text in the center reads "HALLOWEEN SAFETY GUIDE," with the word "JEEPERS" in a smaller font between "SAFETY" and "GUIDE." In the top right corner, there's a spiderweb and a flock of black bats flying. In the bottom left corner, a friendly white ghost with black eyes and mouth floats, looking towards the center of the image.

An image shows four men, two of whom are wearing US Army camouflage uniforms and two in civilian attire (one with a plain dark shirt and one partially visible). They are gathered around a large, wall-mounted map of a densely populated urban area, likely a city along a river. The men in uniform are wearing face masks. One soldier, with the name "DORSA" visible on his uniform, is looking intently at the map. Another soldier, on the far right, has a clear "US ARMY" patch. The men are pointing at and discussing a specific area on the map, suggesting they are coordinating a response or mission, likely related to a disaster or emergency given the context of the Louisiana National Guard in the file name. A sign with the words "EMERGENCY OPERATION" is partially visible in the top left corner.
