Mustangs to square off with West Texas A&M Saturday in Canyon

CANYON, Texas -- Midwestern State takes on West Texas A&M in its penultimate of the season Saturday night at Buffalo Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

Subscriptions are available for $19.99 per month or $107.88 annually. Additionally, those who use a dot edu email address from an LSC member institution are able to sign up at a discounted subscription rate of $9.99 a month or $71.88 for the year.

The Mustangs look to snap a three-game skid after falling to Lone Star Conference frontrunning Angelo State (44-7), Central Washington (42-21), and Western Oregon (21-16) in the past three weeks to fall to 3-6 overall and to 2-5 in league play.

Sophomore Andrew Knebel is set to make his fifth start at quarterback after opening the season behind Sean Jastrab and Matthew Duncan -- both are out with injuries.

Knebel leads the Mustangs with 679 yards on 59-of-113 passing with four touchdowns and five interceptions.

Sophomore Demonte Greene is his top target, leading the receiving corps with 381 yards and four touchdowns on 20 receptions. Senior Adam Johnson has also made 20 catches for 281 yards with a 77-yard touchdown at Central Washington.

Junior Justin White, Jr. leads MSU with 31 receptions, while accounting for 268 yards.

Juniors Jalen March (337 yards, one touchdown) and Christian Olige (141 yards, three touchdowns) are set to handle chores in the running game.

Senior safety Larry Donnell leads the Mustangs with 60 tackles with two interceptions and an NCAA Division II leading three fumble recoveries. He boasts a 98-yard interception return for a touchdown against Sul Ross State and a 66-yard fumble return for a score versus Western Oregon.

Senior kicker Joseph Carlson ranks third in the nation averaging 1.56 made field goals per game and is fifth with a 82.4 made field goal percentage. Both marks lead the LSC.

Carlson has been successful on 14 of his 17 field attempts this season with a long of 50 yards last week against Western Oregon.

ABOUT THE SERIES | Midwestern State and West Texas A&M meet for the 37th time on the gridiron Saturday night Buffalo Stadium. The Buffs have won the last four meetings and lead the overall series, 21-15. The Mustangs are in search of their first win at Buffalo Stadium, which opened in 2019, and the first win in Canyon since Marqui Christian scooped up a fumbled punt and raced 18 yards for a touchdown to clinch a Lone Star Conference title with a 52-48 win on November 3, 2012.
