KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Louisiana Christian University football program did what it was supposed to do, taking care of business on Saturday with a 52-7 dominant victory at Texas College but despite the lopsided result, LCU was dropped out of the NAIA Top 25 in favor of Friends (Kansas).
 
The gridiron Cats only fell one spot to #26 so they are still on the precipice of returning with a win this weekend at #24 Ottawa (Arizona), being only one of two teams in the receiving votes category with 34 votes, only five behind Friends.
 
The Orange and Blue clad men from Pineville are at or near the top of the country in a multitude of categories, sitting in first regarding total offensive yards (3,541), sacks (32), first downs, and red zone scores / touchdowns (36 / 30).
 
LCU is also the best in the Sooner Athletic Conference in terms of yards allowed per game (208.7), average time of possession (33:27), third down conversion percentage (45%), tackles (393), and punt average (41.0) among others.
 
What was supposed to be a top-25 matchup in the desert on Saturday now turns into a evenly-matched contest between two NAIA Playoffs and SAC Championship hopefuls with the winner taking a giant step forward towards those dreams.
