BEAUMONT, Texas -- , Aidan McCown threw two touchdown passes and added one of Lamar's four rushing touchdowns Saturday night and the Cardinals beat Northwestern State 42-14 to extend the longest active losing streak in Division-I football to 17 games. Northwestern State (0-6, 0-3 Southland Conference), a member the Football Championship Subdivision, hasn't won a game since a 20-10 victory over Alcorn State to open the 2025 season that ended the program's 20-game skid. McCown threw a short pass to LaDamion McDowell who raced to the end zone for a 37-yard touchdown to give Lamar the lead for good with 4:41 left in the first quarter. Zach Wilcke threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Brendan Webb in the first quarter for the Demons. Zay Davis took a pitch to the right, bent it back to the middle and raced untouched for a 24-yard TD that capped the scoring with 14:11 left in the game.
