FULL GAME LOG
GAME PREVIEW & SERIES REVIEW
The Longview Lobos opened the 2020 season with a 13-10 halftime lead. While it wasn't fancy, and mistakes were made, Longview still grabbed the lead against a Temple team looking for revenge from their 2019 playoff loss to the Lobos. Then came the third quarter. Anything and everything that could go wrong for Longview did and a snowball effect led to the third worst loss to opening a season in school history. The Wildcats took advantage of four turnovers, seventeen penalties, and 142 penalty yards and walked away with a 40-13 win over the Lobos. It was a disaster of a second half, the third worst in school history in fact. The loss ended a 26-game regular season winning streak, a 13-game non-district winning streak and handed Longview's it's first 2-game losing streak since the 2015-2016 season. Now Longview heads to arch rival Marshall for the 111th meeting between the two programs, the third oldest rivalry in the state of Texas. The Mavericks, season opening winners over New Caney, look to defend their home turf against Longview and rekindle the magic that say the Mavs upset the Lobos back in 2015. That 2015 win, also at Maverick Stadium, is the last time Marshall has knocked off Longview and the only time since the 2000 season. Since that 2015 loss, the Lobos have won 4-in-a-row over Marshall, including two at Maverick Stadium. Marshall has scored just 28 points in those four losses, while the Lobos have tallied 210 points. Overall, Longview has won 18 of the last 19 meetings against Marshall. Longview will head into Maverick Stadium looking to avoid their first two-game losing streak, in the same season, for the first time since 2014 when the Lobos lost to Lufkin (44-14) and John Tyler (41-25) to open the season. That was also the last time Longview has lost three consecutive games. In fact, it's so rare for the Lobos to open a season winless 2 games in that it's only happened twice since 1964 (1971 went 0-1-1 to open the season, 2014 went 0-2). Marshall, on the other hand, is looking for it's first 2-0 start since 2015, and only it's third 2-0 start since the 2010 season. Marshall will also be looking to do something it has not done in quite some time. The Mavericks have not beaten Longview in non-district play since 1931. Since their 1931 win, the Lobos are a perfect 15-0 against the Mavericks in non-district contests. Tonight will mark the 111th meeting betweeen the two schools, which sits at third for most games played in a series in the state of Texas. Marshall was extremely successful early on in the series, winning 18 of the first 22 meetings (two of the contests finished in ties). After a year of not playing each other in 1932, the Lobos and Mavericks have seen each other every year since on the gridiron for the past 88 seasons as of this year. Since that 1933 meeting, Longview has defeated Marshall more often than not, to the tune of 60-24-3. Since the 1969 season, the Lobos have completedly owned the series by a 42-9 record. Longview will be looking to continue that in a stadium that it has quite a bit of success in over the years. Since Longview's first visit to the new Maverick Stadium, Longview has aquired a 15-5 record there, including an 8-1 record in their last 9 visits. It'll be a show of two teams in different spots on Friday night, with Longview look to regain some momentum and confidence following a shocking defeat to open the season, while Marshall will be looking to continue their momentum and make some history along the way in their second home game of the season.
