Stephen F. Austin

{{see also|2012 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks football team}}

The Battle of the Piney Woods returned to Reliant Stadium for a third consecutive season. The Bearkats sought to continue their 1-game winning streak against the Lumberjacks and build upon the record they have against Stephen F. Austin of 49-35-2.[12]

Sam Houston worked its way down the field on its first possession but had to settle for a 39-yard field goal by kicker Miguel Antonio at the 12:55 minute marker, putting the Bearkats on the board 3-0. Stephen F. Austin forced a turnover late in the first quarter and quarterback Brady Attaway connected with wide receiver Ryan Gambel on a 30-yard pass in the closing seconds of the period to put the Lumberjacks on top 7-3. Sam Houston fumbled the ball again early in the second quarter, and Attaway threw a 27-yard scoring pass to wide receiver De'Vante Lacy just six seconds into the period to increase the lead to 14-3 Lumberjacks.

Sam Houston responded with five-yard pass from quarterback Brian Bell to tight end K. J. Williams with 12:21 remaining in the half to put the score 14-10 Lumberjacks. Later in the quarter, Sam Houston worked its way down to the red zone again, settling for a 22-yard field goal from Antonio, with the score now 14-13 Lumberjacks. Stephen F. Austin fought its way down to its red zone, however Attaway's pass was intercepted by Sam Houston cornerback Bookie Sneed who ran the ball back 92 yards for a scoring touchdown with 3:34 remaining, which followed by Antonio's extra point put the Bearkats ahead 20-13. Sneed's pick six broke Sam Houston's school record for an interception return of 90 yards set by Paul Wenzel in 1968 against Sul Ross.[13] Antonio made a 42-yard field goal as the second quarter came to a close, with Sam Houston leading 23-13 at halftime.

The Lumberjacks opened the third quarter with a 77-yard touchdown pass from Attaway to D.J. Ward on the second play of their drive to close the gap to 23-20 Sam Houston. The Bearkats struck back at the 12:00-minute mark with a 31-yard touchdown pass from Bell to wide receiver Trey Diller, and again with a faked field goal attempt that ended with quarterback Bell running in a one-yard score with 7:59 remaining to raise Sam Houston's lead to 37-20. Another 30-yard touchdown pass from Bell to wide receiver Torrence Williams with 5:10 remaining stretched the lead to 44-20 Sam Houston. The Lumberjacks made the final score of the period with a 70-yard scoring pass from Attaway to wide receiver Cordell Roberson, and the third quarter came to close with Sam Houston leading 44-27.

Early in the fourth quarter, Bell made a nine-yard quarterback keeper rush into the end zone and the Bearkats extended their lead to 51-27. The Lumberjacks then launched a comeback attempt with Attaway completed a three-yard scoring pass to Roberson at the 10:56 minute mark, which was followed with a successful two-point conversion pass from Attaway to Ward. Roberson scored his third touchdown of the game with an eight-yard pass from Attaway with 5:43 remaining to close Sam Houston's lead to 51-43, however a late drive by the Lumberjacks ended on Sam Houston's 30-yard line, with a final score of 51-43 Sam Houston.

Sam Houston quarterback Brian Bell completed 12 of 20 passes for a total 168 yards, and Stephen F. Austin quarterback Brady Attaway completed 39 of 76 attempts for a career-best 545 yards and two interceptions. Sam Houston's Tim Flanders rushed 27 times for a total 125 yards, followed by quarterback Brian Bell who ran eight times for 69 yards, Richard Sincere who rushed 12 times for 27 yards and Ryan Wilson who carried the ball three times for eight yards. Trey Diller caught the ball four times for 97 yards. Torrence Williams caught it once for 30 yards and Terrance Robinson received the ball four times for 29 yards.

With the win, Sam Houston improves to 3-2. Sam Houston leads the series 50-35-2.[14][15][16]
