Game 5 | September 30, 2017 | 6 p.m.

Southern Arkansas Muleriders (2-2, 2-2 GAC)

VS. Oklahoma Baptist Bison (0-4, 0-4 GAC)

Wilkins Stadium at Rip Powell Field (6,000)

Looking For Bounce-Back at Home A slow offensive start last week contributed to the Southern Arkansas football team losing on the road to Northwestern Oklahoma, 38-16. The loss dropped the Muleriders to .500 on the season as they will enter play this weekend 2-2 overall and in the Great American Conference.

Despite the tough road loss, the outlook for the Muleriders to bounce back this week against Oklahoma Baptist are high as SAU returns home to Wilkins Stadium at Rip Powell Field. Already this year, the Muleriders are 2-0 at home with convincing wins over Harding and Southwestern Oklahoma.

In this match-up, the Muleriders will be looking to get their offense on track as the Bison rank in the bottom two in both Scoring Defense and Total Defense. Each of the last three seasons, SAU led the GAC in Total Offense averaging over 450 yards per game. The Muleriders also averaged at least 35.0 points per game over that stretch.

Coming into this weekend, however, the Muleriders rank eighth in the GAC in Total Offense (363.8 ypg) and seventh in Scoring Offense (27.5 ppg)

About Oklahoma Baptist

Oklahoma Baptist Facts

SCHEDULE The Oklahoma Baptist Bison football team enters play this weekend 0-4 overall and 0-4 in Great American Conference play. The Bison will be playing in their third road game of the season after previously traveling to Durant, Okla. to take on Southeastern Oklahoma and to Russellville to take on Arkansas Tech.

THE COACH The Bison are coached by Chris Jensen, who is in his fifth season at Oklahoma Baptist after being charged with re-booting the football program in 2012. Jensen’s first year on the sidelines for the Bison came in 2013. That year, Jensen guided the team to a 4-7 record. The following year, in 2014, Jensen led the Bison to an 8-3 record and a No. 26 ranking in NAIA. Those eight wins for Jensen’s Bison in 2014 tied a school record. In his first two seasons leading the Bison as provisional members of the GAC and NCAA Jensen’s Bison are 4-18. Overall, Jensen has a 16-32 record as the head Bison.

SCOUTING THE OFFENSE Offensively, the Bison are averaging 21.5 points per game and 412.2 yards of Total Offense per game as well. 251.0 of those yards per game is coming through the air while the remaining 161.2 yards are being gained on the ground. In the GAC, the Bison rank fourth in Passing Offense, sixth in Total Offense, ninth in the league in Rushing and 10th in Points per Game, The Bison have featured a pair of quarterbacks in senior Dezmond Stegall and redshirt freshman Preston Haire. Both QBs have played in all four games and each have virtually split the Bison’s pass attempts. Stegall has attempted the most passes (73), but Haire has been more productive completing 43-of-69 passes. Haire also leads the team in passing yards (586), TDs (3), but also has the most interceptions (4).

On the ground, the Bison are led by returning All-GAC First-Team running back Isaiah Mallory as he has gained 380 yards on 68 carries and has found the endzone four times. His 95.0 rushing yards per game leads the Great American Conference.

The leading pass-catcher in terms of number of receptions is Stephan Turner with 15 catches for 143 yards on the year. Alex Lewis leads the team in receiving yards with 240. The five passing touchdowns for the Bison have been caught by five different receivers.

SCOUTING THE DEFENSE Defensively, the Bison are allowing 44.8 Points per Game and 464.8 yards of Total Offense per game with 242.2 of those yards coming through the air and 222.5 yards on the ground. Among the GAC rankings, the Bison rank 10th in Pass Defense, 11th in Rushing Defense and Total Defense, while also ranking 12th in Scoring Defense.

On the year, the Bison have forced three turnovers with two being interceptions and the other a fumble recovery. Anthony Figueroa and Landon Rowlett have the two interceptions while Daniel Moniz has come away with the lone fumble recovery.

A total of 12 players have registered double-digit tackles on the season with six of those players having totaled 20 or more stops on the year. The leading tackler for the Bison is Joshua Redmond as he enters the game with 31 tackles (14 solo, 17 assisted).

THE SERIES This will be the third meeting all-time between the Muleriders and Bison as Oklahoma Baptist became a provisional member of the Great American Conference and NCAA prior to the 2015 season.

In the first meeting, SAU beat the Bison 38-20 in Magnolia. Last year, the series saw its first action in Shawnee and SAU came away with a resounding 52-7 win.

HOW IT HAPPENED » SAU established their defensive dominance on the very first possession of the game as they forced the Bison into a 3-and-out. » The Muleriders went on to limit the Bison to just 106 yards of total offense with 57 yards coming in the air and 49 yards coming on the ground. Both of those totals were game-lows put up by the SAU defense. » Entering the game, the Bison had the GAC's leading rusher in Isaiah Mallory as he was averaging 129.0 yards per game. The Mulerider defense stoned Mallory, however, and held him to just 35 yards on 14 carries (2.5 ypr) » Offensively, the Muleriders had a pair of lengthy drives going, but turned the ball over on downs each of their first two possessions before finding the endzone right at the end of the first quarter. » That initial score was a 50-yard TD pass from Barrett Renner to Karonce Higgins. » The Muleriders scored touchdowns on two of their next three possessions, with each score coming on the ground from five yards out. The first to find pay-dirt in that stretch was Michael Nunnery and the other was Keiandre Purifoy. » Late in the second quarter, the Mulerider defense contributed a score as Darren Crawford had a 70-yard pick-six to put SAU up 28-0 at the half. » In the second half, SAU kept the foot on the gas scoring 17 points in the third quarter and seven more in the fourth. » The TD in the fourth quarter pushed SAU over the half-century mark in points for the first time this season and for the first time since hanging 55 on Southern Nazarene » With 5:23 remaining in the game, Oklahoma Baptist spoiled SAU's chance at their first shutout since 2012 as the Bison scored a rushing TD from two-yards out.

OF NOTE » The Muleriders rushing attack reached new season-highs in attempts (54), yards (260) and touchdowns (5). It was the second-straight game that SAU ran for over 200 yards and in the four games prior, the Muleriders averaged a GAC-low 93.5 yards per game on the ground. » SAU possessed the ball for just over 40 minutes in the game and ran 36 more plays than Oklahoma Baptist

Bill Keopple Head Coach

Ninth Season Central Arkansas (1982) Career Record: 44-44 At SAU: Same Bill Keopple enters into his ninth season as the head football coach at Southern Arkansas. In his time at SAU, Keopple has coached 48 all-conference players, 20 all-academic honorees, 13 all-region selections, and five All-Americans.

In terms of record, Keopple has amassed a 42-42 overall record with 35 of those wins coming over the last five seasons. In that time, Keopple has guided the Mulerider football program to a .500 winning percentage or better each year and has earned a pair of post-season bowl bids with the C.H.A.M.P.S. Heart of Texas Bowl in 2012 and the Live United Bowl in 2016. The Heart of Texas Bowl was SAU’s first post-season appearance since 2003.

Additionally, in those last five years, the Muleriders have a .648 winning percentage and are an impressive 19-3 (.864) at home.

Last season, SAU went 9-3 overall and were 9-2 in the regular season finishing second in the GAC. That year, the Muleriders remained one of the top overall offenses in the GAC and NCAA Division II as SAU led the league and ranked 20th in DII in Total Offense with 469.8 yards per game. It was the third-straight year that the Muleriders led the GAC in Total Offense. In 2015, the offense averaged 469.8 yards per game and ranked 20th nationally, while 2014 saw the unit average 505.4 yards a game and rank 10th in DII. Over the last five years under Keopple, offense has certainly been a strength of the program as the Muleriders have averaged 475.7 yards of total offense with 299.9 of the yards coming through the air and 175.8 yards coming on the ground.

Along with the yardage gained,

Keopple’s offense has been able to put points on the board at a high rate. Last year, the Muleriders averaged 35.0 points per game; making it five-straight years in which the team would score at least 35.0 points per game. Over that time, the Muleriders have averaged 36.4 points per game.

While Keopple’s high-powered offenses over the past five seasons have taken many of the headlines, his defensive unit has enjoyed outstanding success as well in his time at SAU. In 2012, Keopple’s defense led the GAC and ranked sixth nationally in rushing defense, allowing just 91.4 yards per game. In 2013, the Muleriders’ defense would force 26 turnovers, ranking them 44th in DII. Sixteen (16) of those forced turnovers came via the interception as SAU ranked 33rd nationally in passes intercepted on defense.

This past year, the defensive side of the ball improved significantly from the 2015 season as SAU ranked in the top-five in all nine major defensive stat categories in the GAC after only ranking that high in one the year previous. Additionally, the Total Defense went from being ranked 96th in DII in 2015 to 27th in 2016 while also improving over 50 spots nationally in Scoring Defense.

Keopple’s recent success at SAU comes as no surprise as his previous coaching experience includes Division I assistant coaching stints at Arkansas, Boise State, and Central Arkansas. In addition to his extensive previous collegiate coaching experience, Keopple spent the six seasons prior to coming to SAU as the head coach at Arkansas High in Texarkana.

While at Arkansas High, Keopple led his teams to two consecutive state championships 2006 and 2007.

Overall, Keopple amassed a 44-26-1 record during his six seasons. In 2006, Keopple was honored as the 6A State Farm Coach of the Year. That same year, he was also named as the 6A Outstanding Coach by the National Football Foundation, a feat he would repeat in 2007. Keopple was also selected to serve on the high school football All-Star coaching staffs in 2004 and 2007.

Before taking over the reins at Texarkana, Keopple spent the 2002 season at the University of Tulsa on former Arkansas defensive coordinator Keith Burns’

15

Southern Arkansas University 2017 MULERIDER FOOTBALL GAME NOTES Game 5 | vs. Oklahoma Baptist | September 30 | 6 P.M. staff. He spent that season coaching the defensive line and serving as recruiting coordinator for the Hurricanes.

Keopple served as an assistant under Houston Nutt at Arkansas in 1998 and 1999 and was with Nutt at Boise State in 1997, coaching the defensive line at both schools. The Razorbacks were 1998 SEC Western Division champions and finished 9-3, playing Michigan in the Citrus Bowl. The 1999 Razorbacks went 8-4 and defeated Texas in the Cotton Bowl, finishing the season 12th in rushing defense and 17th in total defense.

Keopple went to Boise State from Newport High School where he was head coach and athletic director in 1996. He guided the Greyhounds to the state playoffs with an 8-3 record, giving him an overall mark of 52-29-1 in his seven years as a head coach on the high school level.

Graduating with a B.S.E. in 1982 and an M.S.E. in 1986 from Central Arkansas, Keopple began his coaching career there in 1982 as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line. He spent 14 years with the Bears, tutoring the offensive line the entire time and serving as offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator from 1990-95. During his tenure at UCA, the Bears won three NAIA national championships and 10 consecutive conference championships from 1983-92 in the former Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference (AIC).

A native of Little Rock Arkansas, Keopple is the son of Hall of Fame high school coach C.W. Keopple. A 1976 graduate of Parkview High School, he played on the 1974 and 1976 state championship teams and was an all-state and super team selection his senior season.

During his playing days at Central Arkansas, Keopple was a member of two conference championship teams and was an honorable mention selection on both the All-NAIA District 17 and All-AIC teams. His senior season he was selected team captain by his teammates, and the Bears were the regular season No. 1 team in the country with an undefeated record, advancing to the national playoffs.

Keopple has been a part of 18 championship teams as a player and coach. He is married to the former Marsha Lee Belew from Beebe and has two adult children.

The recent success of the Mulerider offense can be directly attributed to quarterback play; and under Keopple’s guidance as the quarterback’s coach, SAU has turned itself into “Quarterback U”. The last three starting QBs at SAU dating

back to 2012 have broken numerous school records and have been lauded with all-conference, all-region and national acclaim.

The first among the trio of standout QBs under Keopple was two-time AllGAC QB, Tyler Sykora. In his three years as a starter, Sykora steadily improved each season and ended his career at SAU holding 17 school records, many of which are career marks.

Following Sykora was Si Blackshire, who was the Muleriders’ signal-caller for the 2014 season. In that year, Blackshire was named to the All-GAC Honorable Mention team as he led the league and ranked ninth individually in DII in Total Offense at 331.1 ypg.

Most-recently, Keopple has kept the successful QB trend going with Barrett Renner taking over as a redshirt freshman in 2015. In his first season as starting QB, Renner was an All-GAC First-Team selection, the GAC’s Freshman of the Year, as well as an all-region selection and regional finalist for the Harlon Hill Award (DII Player of the Year). He set SAU single-season records in Passing TDs (33), Completions (252), Attempts (405), Completion Percentage (62.2), and Total Offense (3,713).

Last year, Renner repeated his accolades at the conference and regional level and was once more a regional finalist for the Harlon Hill Award. Additionally, Renner surpassed his previous season records in Pass Attempts, Completions, and Completion Percentage. He is on pace to begin breaking career passing records this year as a junior.

In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Keopple is also the academic coordinator for football. On the recruiting trail, Keopple covers Little Rock, West Arkansas, Texarkana and the North East Dallas metro area.

Prior to his position at SAU, Keopple was at Ouachita Baptist University where he spent the 2007 and 2008 season as a graduate assistant in charge of the wide receivers. While at OBU, he coached All-America receiver, Julius Pruitt, who most-recently played with the Arizona Rattlers of the Arena Football League (AFL). Upon graduating from OBU, Pruitt was signed as undrafted free agent by the Miami Dolphins. In his time at OBU, Keopple also helped the Tigers to their first winning season in 25 years.

Before OBU, Keopple spent the 2006 season at Arkansas High School in Texarkana, working as an assistant coach under his father, current Southern Arkansas Head Coach Bill Keopple. While there, (Landon) Keopple worked with the receivers at Arkansas High and helped guide the team to the 6A state championship.

As a prep player, Keopple was an Arkansas All-State quarterback at Fayetteville High School in 2000. Afterwards, he attended the University of Central Arkansas in the fall of 2001 on a golf scholarship before transferring to the University of Tulsa in the spring of 2002. While at Tulsa, Keopple was a threeyear letterman in football and served as team captain his senior season of 2005 when Tulsa won the Conference USA championship against Central Florida. The Hurricane defeated Fresno State in the Liberty Bowl that same year, and Keopple also played in the 2003 Humanitarian Bowl against Georgia Tech.

Keopple received his B.B.A. in accounting with a minor in economics from Tulsa in 2006 and a Masters in sports administration from Henderson State in 2009.

Landon and his wife Dana have a daughter, Kinslee and a son, Knox.

Defensive Coordinator

Offensive Line

Second Season William Jewell (2008)

Trent Figg enters into his first season as the defensive coordinator at Southern Arkansas University after having spent the last two seasons in the same role for his alma mater, William Jewell College of the Great Lakes Valley Conference.

In addition to his work as the DC at William Jewell, Figg served as the DC for the USA Team at the 2016 World University Championship held in Monterrey, Mexico.

Prior to his two-year stint at William Jewell, Figg served as the Defensive Backs Coach, Special Teams Coordinator and Recruiting Coordinator for Southern Arkansas in 2014. That season, Figg engineered a secondary that allowed the lowest opponent completion percentage (49.5%) and the second-lowest third-down conversion percentage (33.8%) in the Great American Conference.

Before his first stop at SAU, Figg spent the 2013 season as a Defensive Assistant at Arizona State, which won the PAC-12 South Division Championship, while the Sun Devil defense ranked first overall in the PAC-12.

Figg graduated from William Jewell in 2008, where he played defensive back for the Cardinals and was named a 2007 Academic All-American. After graduation, Figg spent five years on the Cardinal Football staff. Figg earned his Master’s Degree in Education Leadership from Northwest Missouri State University.

Figg is originally from Chillicothe, Mo., and is married to the former Tori Hallett. Trent and Tori have two sons, Titus and Thomas.

Second Season Central Arkansas (2009) Robert “Boomer” Cunningham enters into his second season as a member of the SAU Football coaching staff where he will serve as the offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator for the Muleriders.

Last season, Cunningham mentored a talented offensive line unit that helped protect and pave the way for one of the most prolific offenses in the GAC and all of Division II. In 2016, the Muleriders had the top overall offense in the GAC, averaging 469.8 yards of total offense per game. That mark also ranked 20th among the DII ranks.

On the ground, Cunningham’s O-Line blocked for a running game that rushed for the most yards in a season since 2005 as the 2016 Muleriders ran for just over 2,100 yards. Through the air, the O-Line provided protection to one of the top passing attacks in the GAC with SAU signal-callers throwing for over 3,000 yards for the third-straight year.

Individually, two of Cunningham’s starting offensive linemen garnered All-GAC honors in 2016 as Mark Jenkins and Chris Paul were both second-team selections.

Prior to coming to SAU, Cunningham was at LaGrange College where he spent one season as the offensive line coach/run game coordinator. In that year with the Panthers, Cunningham helped shore up an offensive line that allowed 42 sacks the year prior, to just allowing 25 in the 2015 season. The noticeable improvement in pass protection was bolstered by the fact that the line was very young as it featured four starting underclassmen.

Before LaGrange, Cunningham coached at Division I FCS-member, the University of Central Arkansas for six seasons. During his first three seasons, Cunningham served as an assistant offensive line and offensive quality control coach with the Bears.

Following the 2011 season, Cunningham remained as an assistant offensive line coach, but added responsibilities as the recruiting coordinator and director of football operations. Cunningham would serve in those roles for three seasons from 2012-2014.

In his time at UCA, Cunningham helped coach a pair of standout offensive linemen in Cole Caruthers (2014) and Corey Howard (2012). Both Caruthers and Howard were All-Southland Conference First-Team selections as well as being named as the Offensive Lineman of the Year in the SLC. Both also went on to earn All-America honors from various FCS Football media outlets.

Prior to joining the coaching ranks, Cunningham began his collegiate playing career at Division II-member Missouri Southern State University. After one season with the Lions, Cunningham transferred to UCA where he played three seasons (two as a starter) along the offensive line. Cunningham also handled deep snapping duties for both the Lions and the Bears.

Second Season Ouachita Baptist (2013)

Fourth Season Southern Arkansas (2009) Cordell Upshaw enters into the first season of his second stint as an assistant coach for the Southern Arkansas University football team. A former Mulerider defensive end and linebacker from 2004-08, Upshaw returns to his alma mater after coaching the defensive line the past two seasons at William Jewell College.

Upshaw’s return to Magnolia will see him continue the coaching responsibility of the defensive line.

In his initial three-year coaching run at SAU, Upshaw helped the Muleriders begin their recent stretch of winning football. Over his time on staff, SAU won 19 games, posted a .613 overall winning percentage and appeared in the C.H.A.M.P.S. Heart of Texas Bowl in 2012.

Additionally, Upshaw’s defensive linemen at SAU averaged 39.0 tackles for loss and 12.5 quarterback sacks per season with a season-best 47.0 TFLs and 17.5 sacks coming in 2012. That year, Upshaw helped develop a defensive front that was among the best in the nation in stopping the run as they allowed just 91.4 yards per game, which was tops in the Great American Conference and the sixth-best mark in all of Division II. Prior to being with the Muleriders, Upshaw coached at Fort Scott Community College where he coached the defensive line. Familiar with the Southern Arkansas University football staff, Upshaw served as a Graduate Assistant for the Muleriders for the 2010 and 2011 seasons working with the defensive backs.

During his collegiate playing days, Upshaw was a four-year letterman for the Muleriders and was a defensive standout as a starter at the linebacker and defensive end positions. Upshaw was a part of a defensive unit that finished the 2008 season ranked 18th nationally in rushing defense (96.8 yards/game).

Upshaw prepped at Leesville High School where he was a three-year letterman linebacker for the Wampus Cats. He was an All-State and All-District selection, as well as the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year for West Central Louisiana.

Upshaw earned his B.S. in Human Performance in 2009 and his M.S. in Kinesiology – Coaching in 2011, both from Southern Arkansas University. He is a native of Leesville, La.

Benson Jordan enters into his second year as a full-time assistant coach for the Mulerider football team after serving as a graduate assistant the two seasons prior.

Jordan will once more coach the linebackers after spending time as the running back and wide receiver coach while a GA. Additionally, Jordan serves as SAU’s certified Strength and Conditioning coach.

In his first season coaching linebackers, Jordan coached a pair of All-GAC Second Team selections in Corey Jenkins and Malik Preston. The duo combined for 123 total tackles, 14.0 tackles for lost yardage, 3.0 sacks, an interceptions and a forced fumble.

Jordan’s coaching efforts with the linebackers also helped the Muleriders improve their defense across the board. A year after ranking in the top-five in one major defensive category in the GAC, the Mulerider defense ranked in the top-five in all nine categories.

Of those, SAU’s 2016 defense topped the league in Pass Defense (176.6 ypg), Opponent First Downs (17.0/gm), Opponent 3rd Down Conversion (26.7%) and Opponent Fourth Down Conversion (25.0), while also ranking second in Interceptions (18), Pass Defense Efficiency (109.1) and Total Defense (319.9 ypg).

In his first year with the Muleriders in 2014, Jordan served as the running backs coach and helped the Muleriders rush for over 2,000 yards collectively for the second time in three years. The season after, Jordan moved to the outside of the offensive and coached the wide receivers.

In his year with the wideouts, Jordan helped keep the Muleriders one of more productive and balanced receiving units in the GAC and NCAA DII as SAU collected over 3,300 yards through the air with a program record 33 passing touchdowns.

Prior to coming to SAU as a GA, Jordan spent four years as a quarterback at GAC-rival Ouachita Baptist University (Arkadelphia, Ark.). After redshirting in 2010, Jordan saw action in two games in 2011 before becoming the Tigers’ starting signal-caller his final two seasons at OBU. As a redshirt sophomore in 2012, Benson threw for just under 1,500 yards and tossed 10 touchdowns as he helped guide the Tigers to a 6-4 record. In 2013, Benson guided the Tigers to a 7-3 record while throwing for over 2,200 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Jordan is married to the former Reagan Rucker and the couple reside in Magnolia.

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – The No. 22-ranked Southern Arkansas football team did not have its 2017 season get off to the start it hoped for as the Muleriders were tripped up on the road against (RV) Arkansas Tech, losing to the Wonder Boys, 28-21, on Thursday night at Thone Stadium at Buerkle Field.

RECORDS #22 Southern Arkansas Muleriders (0-1, 0-1 GAC) (RV) Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys (0-1, 0-1 GAC) TURNING POINT » Up 21-14 with 11:47 left in the fourth quarter, SAU faced a 4th-and-1 from the Tech 21-yardline. Lined up to go for it, a false start pushed the ball back five yards and forced a 43-yard field goal try. That attempt went right and five plays later, Tech tied the game at 21-all on a 59-yard touchdown pass.

OF NOTE » The home team has now won the last 10 meetings between SAU and Arkansas Tech. The last time the road team has won a game in the series was back in 2007 when SAU beat the Wonder Boys, 56-49. » Junior QB Barrett Renner threw for 343 yards on 33-for-44 passing.

It was the 11th time in his career that Renner has thrown for over 300 yards. » Senior wide receiver Jonathan Weisheit hauled in six receptions for 42 yards. He is now 13 catches from tying SAU's all-time reception record, currently held by Nik Lewis (2000-03). Lewis recently became the all-time reception leader in the Canadian Football League.

MAGNOLIA, Ark. – The Southern Arkansas football team bounced back in a major way from a disappointing week one loss on the road as the Muleriders collectively rose to the occasion in their home-opener and defeated Harding by a score of 35-24 on Saturday night at Wilkins Stadium at Rip Powell Field.

It was the first time that SAU has beaten Harding since 2003, and the win against the Bisons at home was the first since 1991. Saturday's Mulerider victory was witnessed by a stellar crowd of 6,735 and capped off another successful Family Day on SAU's campus.

RECORDS (RV) Harding Bisons (0-2, 0-2 GAC) (RV) Southern Arkansas Muleriders (1-1, 1-1 GAC) TURNING POINT » After going three-and-out late in the third quarter, SAU was suddenly in position to score a touchdown as Harding's punt returner Tony Becton let the punt go over his head and then muffed it allowing the Muleriders to recover deep in Harding territory. SAU had to settle for a field goal attempt that would have made it 24-10, but an encroachment penalty on the field goal attempt gave SAU the first down and a play later, they scored a touchdown.

OF NOTE » SAU is now 20-3 at home since the start of 2012. Two of their losses in that stretch had been against Harding (2013 & 2015) » Tanner Hudson's three touchdown game tied a single-game careerbest. His last three-TD game came at home against Southeastern Oklahoma. He now has 22 career touchdown receptions. » Barrett Renner threw for four touchdowns the seventh time in his career. He now has 67 career TD passes and is 15 away from tying the SAU career record. » Defensively, the Muleriders limited the Bisons' rushing attack to 280 yards. It was the lowest rushing output the Bisons have got against SAU since the Muleriders stymied Harding to 127 yards in the 2012 meeting. In the four previous games, Harding averaged 469.0 yards rushing against SAU » Davondrick Lison had a career-best 11 tackles in the game. His previous high was 10 tackles in a 2015 game against Harding as a redshirt freshman. Last year, while hampered by injuries, Lison totaled 15 tackles all season.

MAGNOLIA, Ark. – The defense of the Southern Arkansas football team continued to play at an extremely high-level once again on Saturday night as the unit registered 10.0 tackles for lost yardage, which included 8.0 sacks, and forced three turnovers with a pair of fumble recoveries and an interception as the Muleriders eased past visiting Southwestern Oklahoma by a score of 38-14.

RECORDS Southwestern Oklahoma Bulldogs (1-2, 1-2 GAC) Southern Arkansas Muleriders (2-1, 2-1 GAC) TURNING POINT » The collective defensive effort in the second quarter. SWOSU had five drives in that quarter and none of them gained over 50 yards. The Muleriders recovered two fumbles, forced a turnover on downs, and came away with an interception. Heading into the quarter, the game was tied, by halftime, SAU had the game under complete control and lead 31-7.

OF NOTE » The Muleriders got their running game going and rushed for nearly 200 net yards on the ground as they ended with 198 on 37 carried. Coming into the game, SAU was averaging 70 yards rushing and were last in the GAC in that category. » Michael Nunnery spearheaded the rushing attack and ran for over 100 yards for the first time this season. He ripped off a pair of big runs of over 20 yards with his long being a 27-yard burst. » As a team, the Muleriders' offense totaled more rushing yards than passing yards (198 rushing – 197 passing). The last time SAU had more yards on the ground than through the air was at East Central last year. In that game, SAU had 229 yards rushing and 204 passing yards. » The SAU defense totaled 7.0 sacks in the game against Southwestern Oklahoma. It was the most sacks as a team in a game since 1997 when the Muleriders totaled 7.0 against Northwestern Oklahoma. » Accounting for nearly half of those sacks was Davondrick Lison as he registered 3.0 sacks. It was the first time that a Mulerider has had 3.0 sacks since current NFL defensive lineman Cedric Thornton did so in 2009 against Arkansas-Monticello.

RECORDS Southern Arkansas Muleriders (2-2, 2-2 GAC) Northwestern Oklahoma Rangers (2-2, 2-2 GAC) TURNING POINT(S) » One of the turning points came in the second quarter with the score 14-0, NWOSU. After NWOSU took that 14-point lead, SAU's next two possessions ended in turnovers with interceptions. SAU's defense was able to stave off any Ranger points on the first INT and looked to be in position to do the same on the second, but a 30-yard touchdown run by Anthony Cota made it 21-0, NWOSU with 1:08 left in the first half. » A second turning point came after SAU scored their second touchdown and recovered the on-side kick. With momentum building late and facing a 4-and-2, the Muleriders converted initially on a five-yard rush

by Renner, but 20 yards worth of penalties on the play negated the conversion and made it an improbable 4-and-23. The Muleriders would not convert from that distance, ending one of their last best chances to comeback in the game.

OF NOTE » Current GAC Defensive Player of the Week Davondrick Lison registered 2.0 more sacks against Northwestern Oklahoma to bring his season total to 6.0. Last week, Lison had 3.0 sacks. » Bradford Grems' 43-yard field goal at the end of the first half set a new career long for the senior kicker. His previous best was a 42-yard make last year against Northwestern Oklahoma.
