| | | Whatever It Takes: Houston Baptist University Turns to Football to Build a Name BY STEVE JANSEN  On August 30, the opening Saturday of the 2013 college football season, for the first game in their program's history, the Houston Baptist University Huskies drew the Division I Football Championship Subdivision version of the LSU Tigers: the fourth-ranked Sam Houston State University Bearkats.
