Tarleton Football will enter the national playoffs as the No. 2 seed and host Lone Star Conference rival Texas A&M-Commerce. The Texans will face the Lions on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 1 p.m. at the Lonn Reisman Athletic Center at Memorial Stadium. The Texans were ranked No. 1 in all three NCAA Regional Rankings prior to the selection show but Minnesota State edged out Tarleton for the No. 1 seed in Super Region 4 to claim the first-round bye. Colorado School of Mines will be the No. 3 seed and take on Sioux Falls. No. 4 Colorado State-Pueblo will host Augustana to round out the NCAA Super Regional 4 playoff teams.

Tarleton, the No. 3-ranked team in the AFCA poll, just completed its second straight undefeated regular season, going 11-0 to capture back-to-back Lone Star Conference championships. This is Tarleton's fifth trip to the NCAA Playoffs and fourth under head coach Todd Whitten. Texas A&M-Commerce is 8-2 on the season and ranked No. 23 in the latest AFCA poll. Tarleton defeated A&M-Commerce 35-21 back on Oct. 19 in Stephenville. - Tarleton Football

NOV 4 LONE STAR DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Prince Robinson, Tarleton State, SR, Kinesiology, CB, Houston, Texas, North Forest HS,...Robinson cut loose for the Texans on senior day in Stephenville as the corner back from Houston ended the first half and started the second half with interception returns for touchdowns on back-to-back Midwestern State possessions.

OCT 28 LONE STAR OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Daniel McCants, Tarleton State, SR, Kinesiology, RB, Killeen, Texas, Killeen HS,...McCants was on fire Saturday night as he led the No. 4 Texans to their eighth straight win. McCants, a senior running back from Killeen, became the seventh player (13th time) in program history to rush for over 200 yards in a single game and just the third player (fourth time) in program history to reach the 250-yard plateau in a single game.

He joins only Derrick Ross (269; 260) and Jerome Regal (251) with performances of at least 250 yards, in which he had only 15 carries for the game. He also found the end zone four times, which is also a career high for him. He became the eighth player in school history to have four non-passing scores in a single contest and the first since Xavier Turner did it against Kingsville on Oct. 20, 2018. His 250 yards rushing, four rushing touchdowns, and 24 points scored are all highs by any Lone Star Conference player this season. - Lone Star Conference Football

OCT 21 LONE STAR DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jai Edwards, Tarleton State, SR, Kinesiology and Business, S, Atascocita, Texas, Atascocita HS,...Edwards led the No. 4-ranked Texans on defense with 11 tackles in a 35-21 win over No. 20 Texas A&M-Commerce in a battle of LSC unbeatens. Of the 11 tackles by Edwards, seven were solo tackles in the secondary. The senior also posted a tackle for loss, but his biggest play of the game also clinched the victory. On 4th-and-9 and the Lions driving in Texan territory only down two touchdowns, Edwards' huge hit on the A&M-Commerce receiver broke up a catch and gave the ball back to the Texans with four minutes left to run out the clock and seal the win. Edwards and the Texans held A&M-Commerce to 15 points below their season average and limited the rushing offense to just 64 yards for the game. - Lone Star Conference Football

OCT 14 LONE STAR DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: B.J. Jefferson, Tarleton State, SR, Criminal Justice, DE, Houston, Texas, Eisenhower HS,...Jefferson continued to wreak havoc on the Lone Star Conference as the senior defensive end led the Tarleton defense in a 49-10 rout of Eastern New Mexico in Portales. The Greyhounds entered the game as the top-ranked rushing attack in the nation but mustered only 173 yards on the ground and 221 yards of total offense against the Texan defense.

Jefferson was at the forefront of the attack with eight tackles, including 2.5 for a loss and 1.5 sacks. Jefferson also put a stamp on the game with a fumble recovery on Eastern New Mexico's second drive of the second half that led to the final score of the night from Daniel McCants. It's his fifth straight game with at least 2.0 tackles for a loss and his second straight game to create a turnover for the defense. - Lone Star Conference Football

Jefferson's biggest play of the night came in the third quarter when he forced a strip-sack fumble that was picked up by Tank Morgan. Tarleton turned that into three points, which made it a two-possession game. Jefferson had 3.0 tackles for a loss, including 1.5 sacks, and a pass breakup to go along with his forced fumble. - Lone Star Conference Football

Tarleton State (Texas) broke out to a 14-0 lead over then-No. 20 Texas A&M-Commerce in the first quarter, and never looked back, winning 35-21 to take sole possession of first place in the Lone Star Conference. The Texans are 7-0 and remain No. 4 in this week's AFCA Division II Coaches' Top 25 Poll. Despite the loss, Texas A&M-Commerce drops just three spots to No. 23. The rest of the Top 5 remained unchanged again as Valdosta State (Ga.), Ferris State (Mich.), Minnesota State and Ouachita Baptist (Ark.) registered victories on Saturday to move their records to 7-0. There is only one Top 25 matchup again this coming weekend and it involves one of the newcomers to the poll. No. 25 Virginia Union, who was last ranked in the preseason poll of 2008, travels to No. 15 Bowie State (Md.) to battle for the top spot in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Northern Division. The other newcomer is No. 24 Henderson State (Ark.). The Reddies were last ranked on September 4, 2017 and sit 6-1 on the season after a 48-17 victory over East Central (Okla.). - American Football Coaches Association
