Nice article out of the UCA Athletic department about this past year's accomplishments by the UCA football team. A top 25 program at the end of the regular season, a solid 8-3 record and some marquee wins (Georgia Southern, two SLC foes from Texas, SFA and SHSU and lastly a win against a team that UCA wants as a regional rivalry game, Missouri St). Congrats UCA!
CONWAY, Ark_ If one were to judge the University of Central Arkansas' dive into the Division I football pool this year, the score would be very, very low. The Bears would have no part of gracefully plunging in without a wave or ripple.
Even with a fairly advanced degree of difficulty, the Bears made a prodigious splash onto the scene in their first year as a transitional Division I championship division team – compiling an 8-3 record and finishing the season ranked in the Top 25.
From a convincing warm-up win against old rival Henderson State in storied War Memorial Stadium to defeating Missouri State in front of a school-record crowd of 11,215 at Estes Stadium, to a regionally-televised prime-time win on the road against then-ranked future Southland Conference foe Sam Houston State, to closing the season out with a monumental overtime win at six-time national champion Georgia Southern, the Bears blazed the trail head coach Clint Conque had long talked about – scorching opponent after opponent along the way.
