 The Wildcats roared to life after halftime in their home and conference opener last Saturday, ripping Langston 50-15.

Wayland Baptist’s Pioneers were 52-51 overtime losers two weeks ago at Sul Ross State. They won in Houston 41-14 at North American on Sept. 7, after losing their season and SAC opener 31-13 at Oklahoma Panhandle, the team that visits Pineville for LCU’s next game Oct. 5.

LCU punter/kicker Levi Hilborn was chosen SAC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in the romp over Langston.

Hilborn started perfect execution of an onside kickoff that opened the second half and triggered an eruption by the Wildcats. He also had three punts inside the 20-yard-line of the Lions and kicked a career-long 42-yard field goal.
