Head coach Rich Renner breaks down the Mustangs as they pursue success in the always tough Lone Star Conference.

Midwestern State (0-4, 0-2) allowed UT Permian Basin to score 24 points in the second quarter and fell to the Falcons on Saturday night 37-15.

Sean Jastrab replaced Jakolby Longino as quarterback to start the second half as the Mustangs trailed at halftime, 31-0. Jastrab could be the starting quarterback when Midwestern State hosts Texas A&M-Kingsville on Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. 

Reginald Williams emerged as a slippery running back with 70 yards on 11 carries and could see more action this week. Running back Kenji Johnson is out for the season due to an injury, and center Paul Ledet also suffered a season-ending injury in Midland. 

Punter/kicker Joe Carlson was injured after a six-yard run on a fake punt. 

Midwestern State leads the all-time series with the Javelinas, 18-8, but TAMUK has won its last two meetings with Midwestern State.

MSU is 11-2 when hosting the Javelinas, who won at Memorial Stadium two years ago, 27-21. 

Last year, Roger Hagan ran for a career-high 179 yards and two touchdowns as the Javelinas defeated the Mustangs, 40-13.

Texas A&M-Kingsville is 2-2 overall with a 1-1 conference record after a 52-3 win over Sul Ross State last week, the largest margin of victory for the Javelinas since 2022.
