The 2013 Lamar Cardinals football team represented Lamar University in the 2013 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Cardinals were led by fourth-year head coach Ray Woodard and played their home games at Provost Umphrey Stadium. They were a member of the Southland Conference. They finished the season 5–6, 2–4 in Southland play to finish in sixth place.
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.
