Below: SFA recovers a fumble during the (JTA game. Marc Morrison The SFA-Texas A l game in Nacogdoches would be the first of three games the Jacks would play against former Lone Star Conference foes. The Jacks met the challenge, winning 17 0. The SFA defense enjoyed a stellar per- formance, allowing the Javelinas only 57 yards passing and 82 yards rushing. The Lumberjack offensive line, led by guard Scott Alexander, Conroe senior, and tackle Stewart Speer, Waco senior, provided protection for Whitten as he threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to No- ble in the first half. Whitten later scored on a one-yard run. Rick Wilson, DeSoto junior, kicked both extra points and a 24-yard field goal. The Jacks improved their record to 4-1 with a 37-21 victory over Abilene Christian University in Abilene. The Jacks had not beaten the Wildcats since 1980. Two school records were set in this game. Rick Wilson kicked a 51-yard field goal, breaking Mark Moseley ' s 15- year-old record. Punter Andy Gamble, Cushing senior, broke his own record of 68 yards with a 73-yard punt. SFA won its third straight game with a 27-13 victory over the University of Texas at Arlington in Arlington. A 24- point underdog going into the game, SFA jumped out to a 14-3 first quarter lead behind two touchdown passes by Todd Whitten to James Noble and Floyd Dixon. After both teams traded field goals in the second quarter, SFA scored 10 points in the third period on a touchdown run by Whitten and a field goal by Rick Wilson. SFA ' s defense held GTA to only two field goals until the last minute of the game, when the Mavericks completed a nine-yard touchdown pass. 164 — Football

t Jacks create winning season series The SFA football team began a new era in NCAA Division l-AA on Sept. 1 with a 17-10 win over the Statesmen of Delta State University. After a scoreless first half, the Lumberjack offense drove 69 yards on seven plays, the last being a 20-yard touchdown pass from Dallas sophomore Todd Whitten to Jackson- ville junior James Noble. Rick Wilson, DeSoto junior, kicked the extra point. The Statesmen took advantage of two SFA fumbles to tie the score, then moved ahead 10-7 with a field goal. The Jacks came back to take the lead for good, moving the ball 72 yards in five plays for a touchdown. Wilson ' s kick was good, and the Jacks took a 14-10 lead. The Jacks scored again on a Wilson field goal, making the final score 17-10, SFA. The Prairie View A M Panthers were next for SFA, and the Jacks downed them 43-14. Keith Thacker, Alto Sophomore, had 120 yards on nine carries for one touchdown. Floyd Dixon, Beaumont junior, caught five passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns as the SFA of- fense rolled up 486 yards against the Panthers, while the SFA defense held the Panthers to 196 yards. Quarterback Todd Whitten enjoyed a good game, completing nine of 14 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns. Playing in the first ever Gulf Star Con- ference game, the Jacks suffered nine turnovers and lost 20-7 to the Sam Houston State University Bearkats. Despite the turnovers, the SFA defense played well. I thought our defense played well despite being put into some difficult situations, Coach Jim Hess said. SFA ' s lone touchdown came on a 45- yard pass from Todd Whitten to James Noble in the third quarter.
