NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A back-and-forth affair that featured over 1,200 yards of total offense went the way of the home team, as No. 17 Sam Houston outlasted Southeastern Louisiana, 43-38, in the Southland Conference and spring 2021 season opener for both teams.
Playing for the first time in 447 days, the Lions (0-1, 0-1 Southland) racked up 536 yards of total offense, but it was not enough against a Sam Houston (1-0, 1-0 Southland) attack that racked up 672 yards of total offense.
