University of Arkansas Monticello Athletics issued the following announcement Oct. 3.
Weevils hold off the Bulldogs in the mud & the muck to win 18-16 Saturday!
In the the rain and the mud the University of Arkansas at Monticello football team slipped past Southwestern Oklahoma State at home for the Weevils' third win of the season Saturday. The Weevils leaned on the ground game to grind out the victory 18-16 amid the sloppy weather.
With the win UAM improves to 3-2 overall and against the Great American Conference this season. SWOSU drops to 0-5 on the year with the loss.
The wet and rainy weather played havoc with ball control early when the Bulldogs were able to get on the scoreboard first on an errent snap on a punt by UAM that Colburn Crenshaw had to fall on in the end zone for a safety.
On the next possession, SWOSU was able to keep the momentum from the safety to march down the field for a scoring drive by the offense. The Bulldogs capped the drive with a 31-yard touchdown run, but failed on the two-point conversion leaving UAM with an 8-0 deficit.
The Weevils offense started to click with its best drive of the first half midway through the second quarter. UAM used a 13-play drive to find the end zone on a three-yard carry by Devontae Dean. The Weevils came up short on the two point conversion making the score 8-6 in favor of SWOSU.
UAM's defense stepped up on the ensuing possession forcing a three-and-out by the Bulldogs to give the Weevils offense another chance before the end of the half.
