The 2013 West Texas A&M Buffaloes football team represented West Texas A&M University in the 2013 NCAA Division II football season as a member of the Lone Star Conference (LSC). The Buffaloes were led by first-year head coach Mike Nesbitt. The team played its home games at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium in Canyon, Texas. The Buffaloes finished the season with an overall record of 11–3 with a LSC record of 4–2, finishing third in the conference.
The team received a bid to the NCAA Division II Playoffs as the sixth seed in Super Region 4, losing to Grand Valley State 28–35 in the quarterfinals. For the 2013 season, Nesbitt served under the interim tag before being named the Buffaloes' full-time head coach following the season.[1]
Senior quarterback Dustin Vaughan broke the program record for passing yards and passing touchdowns. Vaughan was one of three finalists for the Harlon Hill Trophy.[2] Vaughn would ultimately finish second in voting.[3]
Offseason
Coaching changes
On August 22, just weeks before the team's opening game, the university announced that head coach Don Carthel had been fired. According to the press release, Carthel was dismissed for misleading university officials about buying tickets for two players on the football team and instructed the players to lie about where the tickets came from.[4]
Mike Nesbitt, who had been originally hired as assistant head coach and offensive line coach, was named the Buffaloes' interim head coach.[1]
Preseason
