The 2014 Lamar Cardinals football team represented Lamar University in the 2014 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Cardinals were led by fifth-year head coach Ray Woodard and played their home games at Provost Umphrey Stadium. They are a member of the Southland Conference. The Cardinals finished the season 8–4, 5–3 in Southland play to finish in a three-way tie for third place. The eight win overall and five win conference record matched the Cardinals' best overall win record in both categories as a four year program.[1]
All Lamar games were broadcast on KLVI, also known as News Talk 560.
Live video of all home games (except those broadcast via the Southland Conference Television Network, SEC Network, or ESPN3) was streamed by Lamar University's Big Red Sports Network [1].

4th Crawfish Bowl
The 4th Annual Red-White Crawfish Bowl was held Saturday, March 1. The game was modified from previous years. While the team was divided into Red and White teams as in previous years, the game pitted offense against defense. The White team consisted of offensive players while the Red team was made up of defensive players. Scoring was adjusted to include normal scoring for the offense with the addition of additional points for scoring plays longer than 20 yards. The defense scored on turnovers, three-and-outs, and stops. The White team (offensive players) won 50–18 with the modified scoring.[3]
