Texas Lutheran is in Abilene, Texas for a 2 p.m. kickoff today (Saturday) against Hardin-Simmons University. Seguin radio station KWED 1580 AM will have the radio call, starting at 1:30 p.m. KWED’s audio can also be found at www.seguintoday.com. The KWED audio is paired with the TLU live video webcast.
TLU will be out to snap a 10-game losing streak that dates back to the final three games of 2008. The Bulldogs have not tasted victory since Oct. 25, 2008, when TLU won in Abilene with an 18-0 victory over McMurry.
A loss Saturday by TLU would set the new school mark for consecutive losses at 11. The football program has lost 10 games in a row on three different occasions in its history, which dates back to 1912.
TLU had a 13-game winless streak stretching over the 1954, 1955 and 1956 seasons. The Bulldogs had a tie in the 1955 season that kept the team winless but that stopped the consecutive losses streak at 10.
After starting the year 1-4, Hardin-Simmons has rebounded with three consecutive victories. Two of those wins (against East Texas Baptist and against Sul Ross State) have come on the road. Last week HSU went to Alpine, Texas and defeated the Lobos 29-6.
The Cowboys need wins in their final two games (vs. TLU and vs. McMurry) to secure the program’s 18th-straight winning season. That streak of winning seasons ranks 12th in all divisions of NCAA football.
HSU is 10-1 all-time against TLU. The only Bulldog victory over the Cowboys came on Nov. 12, 2005. On that day in Seguin’s Matador Stadium, the Bulldogs pulled a 32-27 upset over then-No. 11 ranked HSU.
The Bulldogs have never won at HSU’s Shelton Stadium.
