LSC Scoreboard
Only three of the 10 Lone Star Conference football teams played during Week 2. UT Permian Basin topped Western New Mexico in the first conference game of the season, while No. 9 Central Washington fell to top-ranked and two-time defending national champion Ferris State. To read the recaps, click

Week 3 will feature all LSC teams playing in the same week for the first time this season. In fact, they will all be in action on the same day (Saturday, Sept. 19) and will all be playing league games. Included in the slate is a ranked showdown between CWU and No. 12 Western Oregon in Ellensburg, Wash. Last season on the final day of the regular season, that game decided the league title as CWU won 19-17 in Monmouth, Ore.
WOU is tops in the league in total offense (525.5 yards per game), while Sul Ross State is tops in defense (320.5 yards per game). WOU is scoring a conference-best 43.5 points per game and CWU is allowing a league-low 26 points per game. Angelo State (34 yards per game) is the least penalized team in the LSC.
CWU was picked to repeat as the LSC champion this season, according to the league’s
preseason poll. WOU senior quarterback Jordan McCarty and CWU senior linebacker Brycen Indell were predicted to win
preseason player of the year honors.
