Ouachita Baptist (4-0) v. Northwestern Oklahoma (1-4)th at 1pm CT
OBU recap
NWOSU recap: NWOSU put up some decent numbers against HSU, particularly in the pass game, but were overmatched in Arkadelphia. Penalties were leaning on the high side and three interceptions to a team like HSU is never good.

Game going forward: OBU will need to clamp down on the penalties. Last year they led the league in being the least penalized; this year they are giving up the most penalty yards per game in the GAC. The Tigers need to do a better job offensively, 267 will not cut it when they start playing the better defenses in the GAC. Defensively, OBU must tighten up. The fact that SWOSU, the 8thOuachita Baptist


Southern Nazerene (0-5) v. Southeastern Oklahoma (2-3)th at 2pm CT
SNU recap: Just when we all thought SNU would be a gimme game for the other GAC teams, they go and give ECU a heck of a scare. SNU had their best offensive performance of the season with 438 yards of total offense and scoring 26 points, falling just short in their attempt at a come-from-behind win. SNU only gave up 3 sacks and had two turnovers, vast improvements when compared to previous games.

SOSU recap: SOSU dominated Bacone. The real concern here was the fact that SOSU was averaging 241 yards on the ground coming into the game, but could only manage 183 against an NAIA squad.

Game going forward Lean Southeastern Oklahoma
