In the Lone Star conference, players are rewarded for their efforts weekly from the previous week’s contest. This week, the LSC players of the week in Offense, Defense and Special Teams each contributed greatly to their teams. Here’s a more detailed look at these players of the week!

Offense

The LSC offensive player of the week is awarded to the player who aided his team in defeating the Eastern New Mexico on Oct. 18.

Defense  

The Lone Star Conference defensive player of the week is responsible for securing a victory and a huge upset for his team over the UT Permian Basin Falcons. 

Redshirt senior linebacker Malcom Liufau is dubbed the LSC defensive player of the week after his performance in the 31-28 victory over the Falcons. 

Liufau was all over the field defensively for the Wolves. The linebacker forced a fumble, a sack and came up with an interception for Western Oregon. Liufau also recorded five tackles in the contest against the Falcons, four solos and two assists. 

Special Teams

The LSC special teams player of the week is responsible for a kick return to help the Rams in a victory over the Midwestern State Mustangs on homecoming in San Angelo, Texas. 

Redshirt freshman kick returner and wide receiver Alan Dobbins is dubbed the LSC special teams player of the week in Week 7. 

Dobbins secures the honor after returning an onside kick 45-yards for an ASU touchdown that helped secure the victory and help put the Rams back on track.

Week 7 Predictions

Like all NCAA D2 football games, it is mostly a toss-up until the clock runs out, but here are some predictions for how these four LSC matchups will shape up in Week 7. 

In the battle of the New Mexicos, Western New Mexico definitely has the upper hand. The Mustangs are coming off a huge win in Week 7 and even though they will be the visiting team, Conner Ackerley has the more consistent offense. 

West Texas A&M vs. UTPB could be a toss up until the very end of the game. The Falcons have home field advantage and are looking for a bounce back win, but the Buffs have RJ Martinez. West Texas A&M has a quarterback who can make big plays happen consistently. It will be a QB dual, but WTAMU should walk away with a win. 

Angelo State is on the road, but even with a long road trip to Alpine the Rams are the more consistent win. Angelo State should walk away win a pretty stable win over Sul Ross State. 

Central Washington prepares to embark on another long road trip to Midwestern State. The Wildcats have been consistent and it looks like the LSC title is well within their reach. Central Washington should comfortably take down Midwestern State. 

Last but certainly not least, Western Oregon and Texas A&M Kingsville square off in Kingsville, Texas. Both teams have picked up big wins in the 2025 season and this week will be a huge momentum test for the two teams. With the Javelinas being on their home field, Kingsville should win over Western Oregon. 

With five games on the docket for the LSC on Saturday, Oct. 25, make sure you are tuned in to FloCollege to catch all of the action.
