Media edit

All Cardinals football games were broadcast on KLVI AM 560 as part of the Lamar Cardinals Radio Network. At least 3 games, including 2 road games, were broadcast on Fox 4 KBTV as the Cardinals completed the fourth year of a five-year deal granting exclusive broadcast rights to select Cardinals games to KBTV.[1] SLC TV will cover 1 game (with a possible option for a 2nd game to end the season), CSN Houston will cover 1 game, and ESPN3 will cover 1 game in addition to the KBTV games. Cardinals SLC TV games will air locally on KUIL-LD.

The Crawfish Bowl would need overtime to decide the winner. Just as in 2012, it was a Ryan Mossakowski pass that would determine the winner. In overtime, on 2nd and 10, a Mossakowski pass was picked off by Keith Wilson at the 20-yard line. He returned it 80-yards for the game-winning touchdown.
