About 25 minutes away from gametime here at Memorial Stadium, where the Tarleton Texans are taking on the Southwestern Oklahoma State University Bulldogs. The #14 Texans are now 4-0 on the season after bringing home a 35-17 win over Central Oklahoma last Saturday. The SWOSU Bulldogs come into tonight's matchup 0-4 on the season and looking to turn things around tonight against the high-powered Texans. Running back Roderick Smith will look to break the Tarleton career total touchdown record tonight off 33 touchdowns set by Gaylon Bowser set in 1984-1987.
> It didn't take Roderick Smith long to go ahead and break the career total touchdown record. He took the handoff around the left side to score his 34th career touchdown and put the Texans up by the score of 7-0. 6:48 left to play in the 1st quarter and the Texan defense will come out to try and make another stop.
> Scott Grantham throws an incredible fade pass to the back right corner of the endzone to a streaking Jahmeel Hobson. Hobson races past the defender and brings the ball down to put the Texans up 14-0. Still in the 1st quarter and the Texans show no signs of slowing down.
> Evan Robertson takes the ball through the right side 45 yards to pay dirt. Texans are up by the score of 21-0 still in the 1st quarter. The Texan defense is remaining tough as they have only given up 44 yards to the Bulldogs thus far.
> A 22 yd field goal by SWOSU kicker Chad McIntosh puts the Bulldogs on the board for the first time. The field goal was set up by a huge catch and run by tight end Joe Sawyer. Texans still lead 21-3.
> Texans went 30 yards down field and ended the drive with a 32 yard field goal by kicker Garrett Lindholm. The Texans kicked off and 3 plays later SWOSU quarterback Steve Day is intercepted by Tarleton cornerback Vance Ibewuike and takes the ball back 32 yards for a Texan touchdown. Texans now lead 31-3 with 4:08 left in the half.
> Evan Robertson catches a pass in the flats and takes it in from 13 yards out. The score give Tarleton a 38-3 lead with just 24 seconds left until halftime.
Halftime here at the Memorial stadium with Tarleton leading the SWOSU Bulldogs by the score of 38-3. The Texan offense is rolling as they have racked up 294 yards in the first half. Smith and Robertson have led the ground attack for the Texans combining for 167 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Texan defense continues to be stingy as they have allowed the Bulldogs to gain only a total of 108 1st half yards. The defense has also created turnovers, two interceptions, one by cornerback Brandon Johnson and the other being a 32 yard return for a touchdown by cornerback Vance Ibewuike. Jamaal Steamer and Bryant Bray have put pressure on the quarterback all night as they both have brought down quarterback Steve Day once each. The Texans will look to continue their success in the 2nd half.
> Evan Robertson puts in another touchdown, this time from 2 yards out. The score gives the Texans a 45-3 lead in the 3rd quarter. Grantham really got the passing game going on this drive completing a 21 yard pass to Jahmeel Hobson and another pass to Devin Guinn for 15 yards.
> SWOSU starts to drive the ball and turns it over on a fumble by running back Daniel Barwick. The fumble was forced by defensive end Jacob Rowe and recovered by lineback Bradley Bullitt who scooped it up and took it 10 yards for another Texan touchdown. Score is now 52-3 Texans.
> Brandon Washington goes in from 4 yards out to give the Texans a 59-3 lead. The drive was highlighted by a huge 49 yard catch and run by running back Kenneth Travis. Still time in the 3rd quarter.
>Wow! It's just been going the Texans way tonight. A muffed punt by SWOSU was bobbled and kicked around until it was recovered by defensive back Matt Knicky in the endzone putting the Texans up 66-3. 1:49 remains in the game.
That's the end of it here at Memorial Stadium with the Texans defeating the Southwestern Oklahoma State University Bulldogs by the score of 66-3. The Texans put on a huge offensive show racking up a total of 453 yards. The offense was decently balanced with 235 yards coming on the ground and 218 coming through the air. Evan Robertson led the Texans on the ground with 104 yards on 6 rushes and 2 touchdowns. The Texan defense also did a great job forcing two turnovers and registering 3 sacks on the night. The special teams also chimed in on the scoreboard when they recovered a muffed punt in the endzone for the final score of the night. The Texans will look to continue their win streak when they travel to Kingsville next Saturday for their powerhouse matchup against #8 ranked Texas A&M University Kingsville. Be sure to tune in next week and cheer the Texans on!

I finally get to see the Texans live next week. Kingsville just escaped WT in OT tonight. I still can't gague how awful WT is this year, and therefore, what that win means for TAMUK. If we keep playing like we have so far this year, we should pound the Javs pretty solidly next week.
