UIW chasing Southland title, FCS playoff bye entering final week of regular season
UIW head coach G.J. Kinne and the Cardinals set a Southland Conference title as one of the goals the team had during preseason.As Incarnate Word coach G.J. Kinne addresses the Cardinals during the buildup to Saturday’s regular season finale, one of his primary focuses is sending the senior class out “the right way” — with another ring.
“I’m sure there will be a little challenge, but we’ve had a good week of practice,” Kinne said. “We just have to pick up where we left off. We have a veteran group. Those guys will be ready to play. They know the significance.” UIW’s only loss came on a last-second touchdown against Southeastern Louisiana, and the Cardinals followed with six straight wins by at least 28 points.
Though the teams hold identical conference records and the Demons will be at home, the Cardinals enter as a significant favorite. UIW has outscored its opponents by a combined 313 points this season, while Northwestern State has been outscored by 119. If UIW and Southeastern finish tied atop the Southland, the Lions will earn the league’s automatic bid. Still, the Cardinals should be comfortably in the running for a bye, sitting No. 5 in the STATS Perform top 25 and No. 7 in the coaches poll entering the week.
Saturday also marks one of the final opportunities in Scott’s chase for a few FCS single-season passing records. He’s on pace to set a new mark for passer rating, sitting at 220.16 with a comfortable cushion ahead of the existing record of 204.6. Scott is also averaging 11.67 yards per attempt, well clear of the record of 10.31.
