Now No. 9
After getting as high as No. 7 in the NCAA Division II Super Regional Four poll, Tarleton fell to No. 9 in this week's regional ranking. The top six teams get into the national playoffs, so the Texans really need to win the last two games of the season to give themselves a chance to make the playoffs for the first time since 2003 and just the third time in school history.

LIVE game blog
Check out here for a live game blog this afternoon.
Tarleton held ENMU in check in the first quarter, keeping the Greyhounds off the scoreboard. However, the Texans scored when Roderick Smith rumbled 68 yards for the first points of the game. Garrett Lindholm, who missed a 44-yard field goal earlier in the game, kicked the extra point to make it 7-0 Tarleton. The drive took up 2:39 and covered 96 plays on seven plays.
The Texans added to their lead when Scott Grantham found Eric Foreman for a six-yard touchdown strike. Lindholm's kick made it 14-0 with 12:20 left in the first half, capping a 13-play, 65-yard drive that took 4:44 off the clock.
Tarleton then intercepted the ball around midfield and Grantham ran in from nine yards out to score. The drive took five plays and 35 yards in exactly 120 seconds. Lindholm's kick put the home team ahead 21-0 with 10:02 remaining in the first session.
The Texans fumbled the ball at midfield, and ENMU took the drive 46 yards on 10 plays and scored when J.J. Harp found Jesse Poku from five yards out. Adam Richards added the extra point to make it 21-7.
On the ensuing kickoff, Travis Evans returned the ball 47 yards to the ENMU 48-yardline with nine seconds left. Tarleton had time for one play, a 30-yard pass from Grantham to Evans, but the running back failed to get out of bounds in time, and the first half clock ran out with the Texans leading 21-7.
Shamarr Prentice's first catch of the game was a 34-yard touchdown toss from Grantham with 8:10 left on the third quarter clock to close a 10-play, 89-yard drive. Lindholm's kick made it 28-7 Texans.
ENMU got deep into the Texan territory but missed a field goal, but Tarleton couldn't move the ball and had to punt. ENMU took the drive 41 yards on six plays when Terrence Griffin scored on a two-yard touchdown run. The kick was good, and the Greyhounds trailed, 28-14.
Evan took a five-yard handoff into the endzone with 4:50 remaining in the game, and Tarleton took a 35-14 lead with Grantham' kick. The drive took eight plays and 53 yards in 4:33.
The Greyhound's Harp found Matt Handler for 39-yard touchdown pass with 3:21 on the clock. The point after attempt by Richards made it 35-21.
ENMU then tried an on-side kick, but Tarleton's Devin Guinn jumped up to catch the ball and returned it to the Greyhounds' 19-yardline. Keith Demby then scored on a three-yard punch five plays later. Grantham's kick put the home team up 42-21.

Hello Win Column!
WICHITA FALLS - The No. 19 Tarleton Texans played a great game Saturday night, taking a 37-16 victory from No. 22 Midwestern State in Wichita Falls, spoiling the Mustangs' Homecoming.
The Texans outscored the home team 35-6 in the final three quarters, holding MSU scoreless in the second and third quarters.
Tarleton's Scott Grantham, despite completing just half of his attempts, perhaps had his most complete game of the season. The offense drove down the field and scored on the first three possessions and then came to life again in the second half, scoring three times in the third quarter and holding onto the ball for 10 minutes in that period.
The Texans had both the running and the passing game going, and after MSU scored on their first two possessions, the defense stood firm allowing only a touchdown in the beginning of the fourth quarter.
It was a great game. If you got to see it, tell us what you thought about the game in the comments section. If you didn't get to see it, I hope you get to join us for the Homecoming game Saturday, Oct. 18 against Eastern New Mexico at 2 p.m.
