  Breylin Smith threw two touchdown passes, and the Central Arkansas defense had seven sacks and forced six turnovers in its 33-24 win over Missouri State on Saturday night. Logan Jessup, a sophomore linebacker who went into the game with one career sack, had 3 1/2 sacks on Saturday and Cameron Godfrey added two of UCA's four interceptions. Hayden Ray tied a school record with a career-high four made field goals, including three after halftime when Central Arkansas outscored MSU 16-0. Despite committing four first-half turnovers - including a 35-yard pick-6 by Central Arkansas' Deandre Lamont - Missouri State took a 24-17 lead into the break. But the UCA defense stiffened in the second half, allowing Missouri State just 52 total yards and three first downs after halftime.

Missouri State (0-3) - a member of the Missouri Valley Conference, which postponed its football season to the spring due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic - completed its three-game fall season and is scheduled to play an eight-game MVC schedule beginning at South Dakota on February 20, 2021. Central Arkansas beat Missouri State 27-20 in Conway, Arkansas, on Sept. 26, marking the first time since MSU played the same opponent twice in a season since 1945. - AP College Football

  UCA's top two receivers, junior Lujuan Winningham and sophomore Tyler Hudson combined for 105 receptions that went for 1,789 yards and 20 touchdowns a year ago. Both earned All-Southland Conference and underclassmen All-America honors. UCA played the entire 2019 season without two of its top performers. WR Brandon Myers, the top returning receiver for the Bears a year ago, dislocated his kneecap in the third practice of fall camp and missed the entire season. DB Jackie Harvell never recovered enough from achilles surgery in the spring and sat out the entire season. On top of that, WR Lujuan Winningham broke his arm in Game 8 vs. Sam Houston State. He was one of the top receivers in the nation at the time with 50 catches for 814 yards and 8 touchdowns. He returned for spot duty in the FCS Playoff game vs. Illinois State and still was named first-team All-Southland Conference. - Central Arkansas Football
