HUNTSVILLE - Big plays by the Bearkat defense and opportunistic play by the SHSU offense combined to give Sam Houston its first Southland Football League victory ever over McNeese State at Homecoming 1996. Dedrick Manigo earned SFL Defensive "Player-of-the-Week" honors with six tackles and two interceptions, the first for a TD on the first play of the game and the second to stop McNeese's final drive at the SHSU 18. Henry Cofer's 12-yard interception return set up a 21-yard scoring drive for a TD by Bennie Wylie. Chris Hall's big hit and fumble recovery plus two consecutive unsportsmanlike conduct calls on the Cowboys set in motion the winning TD drive of 11 yards.
