Cutter Stewart returns from junior college ranks, leads Houston Christian past SE Louisiana 34-28
HAMMOND, La. (AP) — Cutter Stewart, a redshirt junior who transferred from a junior college, lit up Division I football with 268 total yards as Houston Christian secured a 34-28 victory over Southeastern Louisiana in the team's season and Southland Conference debut on Thursday night. Stewart, who logged 173 passing yards and 95 rushing yards, showcased his dual-threat capabilities.
His 66-yard touchdown pass to Jamaal Hall II extended the Huskies' lead to 31-14 with two minutes left in the third quarter. Despite SE Louisiana's capable No. 19 ranking in the Stats Perform FCS top 25 poll, the Huskies weathered their fourth-quarter rally, capped by two touchdown passes from Kyle Lowe. The second score, an 18-yard pass to Lawson Dixon, narrowed the gap to 34-28 with 3:30 remaining.
Houston Christian sealed the win by methodically running out the clock without allowing a first down to Southeastern Louisiana, who finished the game without a first down of their own.
