#UACFOOTBALL - A successful Hail Mary by No. 24 Central Arkansas to set up a final Saturday battle for the FCS Playoff bid headlined the exciting action from around United Athletic Conference (UAC) Football in Week 11. No. 14/20 Austin Peay secured a share of a UAC Championship while Tarleton State and Southern Utah both extended their win streaks to round out the weekend results.

Down late in the fourth quarter, the last second heave by Will McElvain bounced around and into the arms of Jarrod Barnes resulting in the game winning score for the Bears as time expired on a 27-24 final score. The miracle reception ended any championship hopes for EKU and sends UCA into a winner-take-all match-up with Austin Peay this Saturday in Clarksville, Tenn.

The Govs won their eight straight game and remained undefeated (5-0) in UAC play after topping Utah Tech, 30-17, and becoming the first squad to claim a UAC crown. APSU will be the lone champion and earn the automatic qualification into the FCS Playoffs with a victory over Central Arkansas in its regular season finale.

Closing out their final season of reclassification with a program record eight Division I wins, the Texans rallied with 17 unanswered points against rival Abilene Christian to earn a 31-30 victory in their season finale.

Southern Utah exploded for 45 points including 35 in the second half as the Thunderbirds captured their third consecutive win in a 45-17 decision on the road at Stephen F. Austin.
