UAC Between the Lines Rewind - Week 6

#UACFOOTBALL - Comebacks and close calls were the all the rage for Week Six action around United Athletic Conference (UAC) Football as all three games on the league ledger were decided by six points or less including a pair of head-to-head match-ups.

No. 23 Central Arkansas fell behind 30-6 to Southeast Missouri headed into the fourth quarter but rallied with 32 points in the final stanza to secure the 38-33 win on "The Stripes" and extend their win streak to three games.

In the first of two UAC battles, Southern Utah got a pair of late scores to edge past Tarleton, 27-26, to claim the inaugural conference victory for the Thunderbirds. Meanwhile, in-state rival Utah Tech made a successful league debut of their own, posting a  37-31 decision over Stephen F. Austin to round out the day of competition.
