Meanwhile, Sam Houston gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They enjoyed a cozy 56-41 win over Leesville. Given the Broncos' advantage in MaxPreps' Louisiana football rankings (they are ranked 34th, while the Wampus Cats are ranked 87th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Drew Bailey was a one-man wrecking crew for Sam Houston as he rushed for 310 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 9.7 yards per carry, and also picked up 42 receiving yards. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in rushing yards. Another player making a difference was Gavin Stout, who threw for 241 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes.
Sam Houston wouldn't let Leesville keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Sam Houston can thank Connor Walker and Jsonte Duhon for forcing both of them. Keaton Sonnier was another major factor on D, making 14 total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Sam Houston was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 655 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Leesville only gained 416.
