The Louisiana Christian University football team took advantage of a couple Texas College miscues, enough to dodge an upset as the Wildcats rallied by the winless Steers for a 12-7 triumph in a Sooner Athletic Conference contest Friday night at Wildcat Field.

The game was moved up from Saturday due to weather concerns.

Louisiana Christian (6-3, 5-1 SAC) played from behind most of the way after Texas College (0-7, 0-6 SAC) took its second drive of the day and marched 72 yards in nine plays, finishing off with an eight-yard touchdown pass to go up 7-0.

The Steers seemed poised to enhance their lead, getting down to the LCU 15-yard line before their drive stalled, and a 31-yard field goal was blocked by Nate Sullivan and returned 69 yards for a Wildcats touchdown by Brandon Johnson II. The extra point was missed but LCU closed within 7-6. 
The one-point edge held up going to the fourth quarter before Wildcats got the break they needed. A bad punt snap by the Steers resulted in a short field for LCU, starting at the TC 23.
 
On the second play, Bryce Perkins and Omarius Davis connected on a 31-yard touchdown pass, giving the Wildcats a 12-7 advantage with 13:41 left. The ensuing two-point conversion attempt was stopped short.
 
The Wildcat defense made a vital stop on a fourth and two play at the LCU 20 for a turnover on downs. LCU had its chances to put the game away on offense, but a 50-yard field goal attempt was just wide and a fourth and two play failed at the Texas College 26.

A sack by Jermarian Jackson near midfield halted TC’s last gasp as time expired.
 
Jaterrius Johnson led the LCU offense, rushing for 130 yards on 22 carries.
 
Perkins finished the game 10 of 18 passing for 89 yards and a touchdown.
 
E.J. Scott had four catches to lead the team, getting 26 yards.
 
Davis led LCU in receiving yards with 48 on three receptions, including the go-ahead touchdown.
 
Trace McHugh paced the defense with eight total tackles, 1.5 for loss and had a hand in on a sack.
 
Along with the blocked the field goal attempt, Sullivan had an interception which he returned 40 yards.
 
The Wildcats have a bye week before wrapping up their three-game homestand on Sat., Nov. 8 when Arkansas Baptist comes to Pineville for LCU’s final home game of the 2025 season, which will also be Senior Day.
