#UACFOOTBALL - Week nine of the season marked the first Saturday featuring only United Athletic Conference (UAC) Football contests and was highlighted by a couple of down-to-the-wire finishes.

Southern Utah bounced back from a tough double-overtime loss with a dominating 52-14 decision at home against Abilene Christian to get the action rolling on Saturday. No. 20 Austin Peay extended their win streak to six games as the Govs posted a 49-39 Homecoming victory over North Alabama to remain undefeated in UAC play

Coming off their bye, Tarleton earned their first win over a ranked team at the FCS level as the Texans held off a late surge from No. 18 Central Arkansas to secure the 25-23 upset decision. EKU stayed unblemished in UAC competition, after traveling cross country to take down Utah Tech, 34-30, in the Trailblazers' Homecoming game.
