(Seguin) — The Texas Lutheran Bulldogs return home to Bulldog Stadium for homecoming this Saturday.
TLU will face Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference rival McMurry. The teams have already met in conference play with the War Hawks taking down the Bulldogs, 31-10 last month in Abilene.
Bulldog head coach Neal LaHue felt his team played poorly before halftime in that game and he says they have to do a better job when they have the ball.
“I thought our defense played well against them the first go around. I didn’t think we played very well at all against them on offense,” LaHue said. “We had three turnovers deep in their area. We also gave up a muffed kick deep. I think I look up with a minute something to go and it’s a 10-3 game and then it ends up being a (24-3) game at halftime. We can’t do that. We can’t self-implode before half and so, we gotta take care of the football.”
TLU is coming off a 55-17 rout of Austin College up in Sherman last Saturday. Bulldog junior quarterback Caden Bosenko earned SCAC Offensive Player of the Week honors after finishing last week’s game with 291 total yards and six touchdowns, four of those on the ground.
Saturday’s match up between TLU and McMurry is a battle for first place in the conference. The War Hawks lead the SCAC with a 4-0 record. The Bulldogs are just a half-game behind McMurry at 4-1.
This Saturday’s homecoming game kicks off at 4 p.m. at Bulldog Stadium in Seguin.We’ll have the game for you on KWED. Our Bulldog pregame starts at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon where we’ll visit more with Coach LaHue on AM 1580. This weekend’s game will also be simulcast on the TLU+ YouTube Channel.
