The Lumberjacks hold a 5-1-1 lead in the all-time series, but the Panthers took the last clash in a historic 2013 shootout. That night, SFA quarterback Brady Attaway threw for a school-record 662 yards, and wide receiver Aaron Thomas set a school record with 242 receiving yards. SFA even set a Southland Conference record with 827 total yards. However, five costly turnovers ultimately doomed the Jacks in a 56-48 thriller that generated a mind-boggling 1,409 yards of total offense.
THE LUMBERJACKS: THE ROLLING TRAIN
The Lumber train shows no signs of slowing down! SFA heads into Panther territory riding an incredible 13-game regular-season winning streak. The recipe for victory remains unchanged: a swarming, relentless defense paired with a punishing running attack designed to tire out opponents, dominate the clock, and secure regular-season victory number 14.
THE PANTHERS: A DANGEROUS FOE
Don't let the record fool you Prairie View A&M is dangerous. Led by Tremaine Jackson, the 2025 SWAC Coach of the Year and Non-FBS All-Texas Coach of the Year, the Panthers are coming off a historic 10-4 season their first double-digit win campaign since 1963. Backed by a veteran roster featuring 46 seniors, they are hungry to snap SFA's streak.
