After a stirring road win to begin Sooner Athletic Conference play last Saturday, the Louisiana Christian Wildcats football team plays host to Wayland Baptist Saturday evening at 6 in another SAC outing.
The Wildcats (1-1) host a Wayland Baptist squad that fell 49-7 in its season opener at 18th-ranked Ottawa University-Arizona in a SAC contest. Last year in Texas, Wayland outlasted LCU 49-44.
The Wildcats prevailed last week in Oklahoma at Langston, 31-24, in a game with six lead changes. LCU scored the game-winning TD with 1:38 remaining to cap a clutch 11-play, 77-yard drive, ended with a 2-yard plunge by Datlan Cunningham.
An interception in the red zone in the final minute by Wildcats’ defensive back Brandon Johnson clinched the road win.
