Both of his touchdown passes went to Davin Driskell, who recorded 86 yards on five catches. JoJo Uga contributed 83 yards on the ground with 16 carries. The Cardinals, ranked No. 16, outgained Houston Christian 454-195 and controlled the ball for 37 minutes. Lamar took a 14-10 halftime lead before Uga added a 6-yard touchdown run and McCown hit Driskell with a 41-yard TD pass in the third quarter. Cam Patterson secured the win with a 15-yard touchdown run in the fourth minute of the final quarter. Houston Christian, which gained 116 yards passing from Cutter Stewart, scored a touchdown on Javon Bejarano's 55-yard pick-6.
