ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – The 6-1 Ouachita Tigers travel to Magnolia this weekend to face off against the 4-3 Muleriders of Southern Arkansas Univeristy. This will be the last road game for the Tigers, who have an opportunity to finish the year undefeated on the road.

Last week the Tigers beat Arkansas Tech 34-24 in a game that was not decided until late in the fourth quarter. A Chris Rycraw touchdown, set up by a 46-yard punt return by Etauj Allen, put the Tigers up for good. Interceptions by Greg Williams and Zach Mitchell on the final two Tech drives sealed the win for Ouachita.  

The Muleriders have the second ranked passing offense in the conference this season. They are averaging just over 312 yards per game through the air. Quarterback Tyler Sykora's top target is wideout Chris Terry. Terry leads the conference with 122 receiving yards per game and has seven receiving touchdowns.

Both teams feature premiere backs. Chris Rycraw and Mark Johnson will finish the season as the most prolific running backs in conference history. For the season Rycraw is third at 94.6 yards per game and Johnson  is fourth at 84.9. Rycraw leads the conference with 12 touchdowns. 11 of those came by way of the run.

This Saturday's contest against SAU will be the second consecutive game for the Tigers as homecoming opponents. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 pm.
