Quarterback Danny Lowery has had to share a majority of the snaps under center the first five games of this season.  This, in part, was due to several injuries he sustained while playing in these games.  However, at Homecoming 2007, Lowery was the only quarterback to play under center, and was able to lead his team to their first conference win.

 The game was mostly a defensive struggle, with the Lions getting the better end of the Texas College offense.  Lionel Bibbins was the most disruptive player for Langston University , leading the team with seven tackles.  Five and a half of his tackles were for a loss, with Bibbins reaching the quarterback for one and a half sacks and a forced fumble.

That defensive struggle also was reflected in the amount of penalties both teams acclimated.  Texas College was penalized 12 times for 100 yards, while Langston was penalized 12 times for 131 yards.  Due to these penalties, drives on both ends were often abruptly stopped.  However, it seemed as if the Steers suffered the most, with Texas College often being penalized in the middle of what appeared to be scoring drives.

Texas College ’s only score appeared near the end of the first half, with a 45-yard field goal.  The Steers had several opportunities to get back in the fourth quarter, but Texas College quarterback X’Zavier Bloodsaw threw an interception to defensive lineman Enjai Bush.  This, in effect, stopped any momentum that Texas College had.

The Lions are at .500 for the season, and 1-0 in RRAC (Red River Athletic Conference) play.  They continue their home stand next week against Northwestern Oklahoma State University at Anderson Field on Oct. 13^th at 2:00 p.m.
