#UACFOOTBALL - A battle between the two United Athletic Conference (UAC) Football unbeatens headlined the action for Week 10 as the league standings began to become a little more clearer. Saturday's slate also included three other head-to-head conference clashes.
In the UAC game of the day, No. 17/19 Austin Peay notched the game-tying score with 39 seconds left in regulation and then held EKU to a field goal in the first overtime session before getting a touchdown pass of their own to earn the 33-30 victory and sole possession of the league's top spot with a perfect 4-0 mark. The win also marked the seventh straight for the Govs after opening the season 0-2.
No. 25 Central Arkansas rebounded from their first UAC loss last week with a 27-14 win at North Alabama as the Lions concluded their conference schedule for this season. In a Lone Star State battle, Tarleton State dominated rival Stephen F. Austin 59-17 en route to picking up the Texans' seventh win of the year, a program Division I record tally.
Abilene Christian got back on the winning track with a decisive 24-7 victory over Utah Tech while Southern Utah got things rolling in their final non-conference contest, posting a 35-6 win against Lincoln (CA).
