FOOTBALL HISTORY VS SUL ROSS STATE UNIVERSITY FROM NOVEMBER 4, 1950 - NOVEMBER 1, 1975
SFA leads the series 18-8 having won the last 4 meetings back in the 1970's.
The Lobos of Sul Ross State (welcome to division II), take on the Lumberjacks of SFA in an old Lone Star Conference rivalry reunion in the piney woods where it is east versus west Texas, where you can almost smell the throwback jersey's of the 1970's.
SR is coming off a 66-0 defeat by the hands of UTRGV in Edinburg, that kicked off the inaugural season of the Vaquero's football program.
UTRGV QB Eddie Lee Marburger was almost perfect in the game, throwing for 365 yards on 18 completions with only 19 attempts, 5 TD's, no INT's, and no sacks. In total the Vaquero offense racked up almost 700 yards of offense, while the defense held the Lobos to just 74 total yards, with 9 tackles for loss and 4 sacks.
SR has not had a non-losing season since 2017 when they went 5-5, and have not had a winning season since 2016 when they went 6-4.
Could Rutherford get the start Saturday, with a banged up Vidlak getting an extra week to heal up for Cal Poly?
Either way, this game should be quite the stat stacker for the Jacks, a team looking for some kind of momentum into this young 2025 season.
