Jacks Jump-Start Season - KYTX CBS 19 Tyler Longview News Weather Sports

If the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks pick up where they left off last season, the team won't have problems making it to the end zone for the W as the Jacks won their final five games of 2011.

SFA starts the 2012 season with a stern test. The Jacks season-opener is at home on a Thursday night against Southwestern Oklahoma, however they play their next three games on the road at SMU, Montana State and Texas State.

Head coach J.C. Harper is putting the pressure on second-year quarterback Brady Attaway of Whitehouse as he hopes he improves his skills from a year ago but nothing comes easy in the Southland Conference where Sam Houston State is projected to dominate in 2012, just like it did last year with a record of 14-1.
