It wasn’t great, but it was a nice start to the season.

Sam Houston State found the end zone on its first two drives of the game, and the defense never allowed Arkansas-Monticello to launch any kind of threat as the Bearkats easily defeated the Boll Weevils 41-3 Saturday night at Bowers Stadium.

The Bearkats complied 439 yards of total offense, and the defense held UAM to 138. The only real setback for SHSU came in the kicking game, as the Kats missed an extra point and three field goal attempts, including having one blocked.

“I thought we played well on both sides of the ball, made some plays and did some of the things we wanted to accomplish,” SHSU head coach Todd Whitten said. “We had one turnover that cost a touchdown, and you hate to see that, but we did do some good things. I think the most glaring thing is we had a lot of inconsistency in our kicking game. We have so much to do regarding that.”
