JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The United Athletic Conference (UAC) continues to dominate in the football world with three teams in the latest Stats Perform FCS Top-25 Poll, it was announced Monday.
Tarleton State remains at No. 4 after a 27-24 win over McNeese. The Texans walked it off in fashion when Alejandro De La Poza nailed a 24-yard field goal as time expired to keep Tarleton State undefeated on the season.
The Governors moved up to No. 14 in the rankings after a convincing 63-7 win over Morehead State on Saturday. Denver Harper led the offensive charge with three touchdowns and 196 all-purpose yards en route to United Athletic Conference and Stats Perform Freshman of the Week honors.
West Florida jumped three spots to No. 17 following a bye-week. Back in week one, the Argos stormed past then No. 24 Central Arkansas for the new Division I program’s second win of the season. They will take on fellow ranked UAC opponent Austin Peay this Saturday night.
Abilene Christian received 15 votes in this week’s poll.
