Tonight in the pouring rain the Tarleton Texans will put their 2-0 record up against the Tiger of East Central University. The Tigers are coached by Tim McCarty and so far have started the season out 0-2. The Texans will kickoff to start the game as they try to shut down the Tigers offense first.
> Texans don't take very long to go ahead of East Central as Evan Robertson takes the hand-off between the tackles and goes 15 yards into the end zone. The play was highlighted by a 63 yard run around the left side by Roderick Smith. With 11:50 left in the first quarter the Texans lead 7-0.
> Texans offense stalls just a little bit but are still able to put points up on the board as Garrett Lindholm puts in a 38 yard field goal. Texans up 10-0 with 8:13 left in the 1st quarter.
> Evan Robertson has started out quick here at the rain-soaked Memorial Stadium. He takes it around the right side from 25 yards out to score his 2nd touchdown of the night. Texans jump ahead early 17-0.
> End of the 1st quarter here at Memorial Stadium and the Texans lead the Tigers by the score of 17-0. Evan Robertson has scored both of the Texans touchdowns to this point. The defense has been very stout allowing the Tigers to move nowhere offensively. 2nd quarter action is coming up!
> Garrett Lindholm hits another field goal to increase the Texans lead to 20-0. The running backs are continuing to get a lot of the work here as the rain is making it difficult to pass the ball. Lots of time left in the 2nd quarter and the Texans show no signs of slowing down.
> Brandon Johnson intercepts the ball in the end zone to put the Texans up 27-0. Johnson made an nice pick and returns it 0 yards as he was already in the end zone when the interception occurred. 7:38 left in the 1st half.
> Roderick Smith has had a great career at Tarleton and it's not over yet. He has just broken the 22 year old school record previously held by Gaylon Bowser (1984-87) of most touchdowns in a career. The score came on a great run around the left side for a huge 49 yard touchdown. The Texans now lead by the score of 34-0 with 5:33 left in the first half.
> At the end of the 1st half the Texans lead the East Central Tigers by the score of 34-0. The Texans have been led in the first half by their two incredible running backs Roderick Smith and Evan Robertson. Smith has rushed for 214 yards on just 16 carries while Robertson has 110 yards on 12 attempts. The Texan offense has totaled 316 yards rushing in the 1st half alone. The Texan defense has also done their job tonight as they have held the Tigers to 52 total yards in the 1st half. They have kept consistent pressure on the opposing quarterback and held the East Central running backs in check. Texans look to continue their dominance in the 2nd half coming up next.
> Backup running back Robert Payne enters the game and drives the ball down the field before finally capping off the drive on a 9 yard carry that puts the Texans lead up to 41-0. Looks like the backups may be headed into this one.
> Bad snap in the end zone leads to the first points of the night for East Central. A low snap was recovered in the end zone by Kelan Luker and the Tigers quickly pounced on him to force a safety on the Texans. The score is now 41-2 Texans.
> End of the 3rd quarter and the Texans still lead 41-2. Most of the backups are in the game now but the hits keep coming. Texans look like they are gonna close this one out with ease.
> Game over here at Memorial Stadium as the Tarleton Texans have defeated the East Central Tigers by the score of 41-2. This improves the Texans record to 3-0 on the year as they head into next week's match-up against the Bronchos of Central Oklahoma. Be sure to go out and support the Texans next week as they look to keep their perfect record going. Go Texans!

What do you think it means that WT is now 0-3 (0-1) on the season? Are they officially "down" or is it just endemic of their brutal sched?
TSU seems to just be running all over ECU. Are we really that dominant?
I believe that WT graduated a lot of their talent and could be counted as "down" this season. But I wouldn't count them out completely as everyone knows how things can change in the game of football.
I also think that TSU has a solid team this year. We are returning an excellent backfield from last season and our defense is able to keep consistent pressure on the quarterback as well as play stiff defense against the run. Right now we are looking good but lets see if we can keep it up once conference play start.
