THE GAME
Tarleton will close out the 2015 football season Saturday afternoon in Stephenville with a noon kick-off against Oklahoma Panhandle State in the second game of the LSC Playoff System.
 
ABOUT THE LSC PLAYOFFS
This will be the second season of the LSC Playoff System. The conference playoffs seed all seven LSC schools with the top four teams going into the championship bracket and the bottom three, along with Oklahoma Panhandle, going into the consolation bracket. The playoff system considers the games as postseason but this playoff system is separate from the NCAA National Playoffs. Also, the games played in the LSC Playoffs, while against LSC opponents, do not count towards the teams' LSC records.
 
COVERING THE GAME
Saturday's contest will be aired on the Tarleton Sports Network presented by North Texas Ford Dealers. The game will be broadcast live on KTRL (90.5 FM) with Casey Hogan calling play-by-play and Keltin Wiens joining him for color commentary. Travis Smith joins the broadcast team on the sidelines. In addition to the radio feed, the game can be heard online at www.tarletonsports.com/listenlive. There will not be a video broadcast for this game.
 
LAST TIME OUT

Saturday marks the fifth all-time meeting between Tarleton and Oklahoma Panhandle and the second this season. Tarleton evened the series at 2-2 with an 84-47 win in Stephenville earlier this season.
 
INSIDE THE SERIES
Tarleton and Oklahoma Panhandle first met in 1985 with a September 7 meeting in Stephenville. The Aggies won a 12-0 shutout in the inaugural meeting. The teams met again the next season in Muskogee and again Tarleton fell in a 27-12 loss. The teams took a six-year hiatus from playing each other before meeting back in Stephenville on Sept. 19, 1992, when the Texans earned their first win in the series 31-7. Earlier this season, the teams took the field against each other for the first time in 23 years and it was a record-setting night for the Texans. Tarleton broke the school record with 84 points in a game to rout the Aggies 84-47.
 
TICKET INFORMATION
Unlike last weekend's game, this game will be treated like a traditional regular season contest in regards to ticket sales and all reserved ticket holders and regular-season ticket passes will be honored. Also, the north gate closest to the intramural fields will not be accessible for entrance.
 
TEXANS UNDER FOWLER
The Texans are now 29-32 under head coach Cary Fowler and have one Lone Star Conference championship to their credit in his tenure. Fowler's first LSC championship is the third LSC championship for the Texans in school history. His next win will give him 30 in his Tarleton career, making him one of seven coaches in school history to top 30 wins as a head coach.
