One of those who missed considerable time, senior cornerback Dominique Brown, returns for his fifth year this season after a knee injury in Week 2 at Colorado. The Bears opened the season with a win over SLC newcomer Incarnate Word in Conway, then traveled to Colorado for a first-ever meeting with the Buffs. The Bears took a 24-17 lead in the opening seconds of the fourth quarter before allowing 21 consecutive points in a 38-24 loss. UCA was beaten the next week at UT Martin (24-23) before returning home for a 17-13 win over Missouri State. No. 14 McNeese State then handed the Bears their first-ever loss on “The Stripes”, beating UCA 59-28

With the 26-24 win over UT Martin two weeks ago, the Bears have now won 15 consecutive home openers at First Security Field at Estes Stadium, dating back to the 2000 season.

They were: CB Tremon Smith; CB Artez Williams; DB George Odum; LB Dalvin Simmons; DL Eric Jackson; DE Aikeem Coleman, DE Cardell Best, DB Jordan Meyers and RB Darrien Daniels.

ON THE STRIPES:

The Bears closed out their third season on “The Stripes” at First Security Field at Estes Stadium last season with a 15-2 record since the installation of their unique purple and gray striped playing surface. They are now 16-2 after the win over UT Martin last Saturday. UCA will play five more home games this season, beginning this week with Missouri State. UCA has a two-game homestand, its only one of the season, with Nicholls coming to town to open Southland Conference play on Sept. 27. Through two+ seasons, the Bears were a perfect 12-0 on “The Stripes.” Losses to McNeese State and Southeastern Louisiana last year were the first two since the turf went down in 2011.

Woodard, from Brentwood, Tenn., has already been named a preseason All-American by The Sports Network. He is a two-time AllSouthland Conference selection and was the SLC Freshman of the year in 2012. Woodard led the conference in sacks with eight last season and finished as UCA’s third-leading tackler with 49 total stops. He has also been selected for the College Sports Performance Awards watch list for defensive ends. Sophomore Jatavious Wilson is also on the Watch List for the CFPA All-Purpose Performer of the Year. Wilson was second in the SLC last season in kickoff returns with a 30.6 yard average, returning two for touchdowns. He also caught 41 passes for 409 yards and two touchdowns.

(Vestavia Hills, Ala.) and then-sophomore Taylor Reed (El Dorado, Ark.). Howard (5-11, 194) has played in a total of six games before last season, took the majority of the snaps the remainder of the 2013 season. He finished the season 144 of 234 (61.5 percent) passing for 1,848 yards, with 18 touchdowns and just 4 interceptions. In his first career start at Lamar, Howard completed 26 of 40 passes for 281 yards and 3 TDs. He topped that with 403 passing yards and 4 TDs the next week in the blowout win over Stephen F. Austin. Howard threw for more than 4,000 yards with 37 touchdowns at Vestavia Hills HS. Reed, a 6-3, 215-pound transfer from the University of Arkansas, played in nine games with no starts, completing 30 of 37 passes for 315 yards, with 5 TDs and 0 interceptions. Reed redshirted at Arkansas in 2012 after starting nine games at Memphis in 2011. Reed completed 169 of 295 passes for 1,690 yards and 10 TDs at Memphis before an injury ended his season. He played in three state championship games at El Dorado, winning twice. Ironically, both quarterbacks are lefthanded and both played with their fathers as their high school head coaches. Reed played all but one series against Texas Tech three weeks ago, completing 20 of 34 passes for 149 yards. He also ran for 29 yards and a touchdown. Against UT Martin, he was 18 of 30 for 157 yards and a TD, and was the leading rusher with 66 yards on 10 carries. Howard played one series and led the Bears to their final touchdown at Tech, an 8-yard pass to Damien Watts that drew UCA within 42-35 with 2:57 to play. He came on an engineered a perfect two-minute drill last week, leading the Bears on a 13-play, 80-yard, game-winning drive, capped by a 14-yard TD pass to Courtney Whitehead. Howard threw five TD passes off the bench against Montana State.

CONFERENCE AFFILIATION:

The Bears have been members of the Southland Conference since they moved to Division I FCS in 2006. UCA’s record in SLC games is officially 33-16. The Bears also beat two SLC teams (Sam Houston & Stephen F. Austin) in their first year in the league when they did not play a full league schedule. UCA won the “unofficial” SLC title in 2008 and was co-champion in 2012.

KICKIN’ IT:

Senior placekicker Eddie Camara, from Cedar Hill, Texas, moved into fourth place in career scoring at UCA last season with 242 points. He is also third in career extra points (137) and field goals (35). Camara trails record-holder Curtis Burrow (1982-85) by just eight field goals. In between Burrow and Camara is Camara’s predecessor Eddie Carmona. Not only do the kickers have similar names and numbers but they are both left-footed kickers. Camara is just one away from tying the school record for extra points (138), held jointly by Justin Smith (1999-2002) and James Paul (2003,

05-07). Camara is also second in season extra points made with 53 in 2012. The record is 57 held by Paul (2005). Camara is also third and fourth (14 & 13) in season field goals made. The school record is 16. With Camara battling injuries throughout camp, junior Jace Denker ha done all the kicking so far this season, hitting 4 of 5 field goals and 6 of 7 PATs.

ACADEMIC PROGRESS RATE (APR)

CONWAY, Ark. _ The University of Central Arkansas football program earned the award for the top Academic Progress Rate (APR) score in the Southland Conference for the fourth consecutive year, it was announced by the Football Championship Subdivision Athletic Directors Association (FCS ADA). UCA’s football program had a four-year average of 949 and a yearly score of 916 for the 2012-13 school year. It was the fourth straight year that UCA topped the SLC. “Our football program has set the benchmark in our conference for four consecutive years,’ said Dr. Brad Teague, UCA’s director of athletics. “Having the top four-year average in the conference for four consecutive years is a tribute to our student-athletes and coaches. “It’s also amazing that our upcoming score for 2013-14 is on target to be our best single score yet. I am very pleased with the type of young men our coaches are bringing to UCA and the emphasis which is placed on academics here.’ The APR Award recognizes one institution at each of the 13 FCS conferences that has the highest APR score. In addition, the Association also recognizes one institution from each conference that has improved the most from the previous year. In all, 25 awards will be given this year. “Our Association is pleased to present these awards to spotlight one true mission of all FCS programs, embracing the academic progress of their studentathletes, who will become leaders off the field,’ said FCS ADA President Brian Hutchinson, director of athletics at Morehead State University. “We are happy to continue to recognize the FCS institutions and their football programs for continuing to reach exemplary APR scores.’

school history, trailing 2001 (6,536) and 2005 (6,122).

Jonathan Woodard (49 T/10.5 TFL/7SK). Returning safety Marvin Mitchell was UCA’s interceptions leader with 3. UCA was second in the SLC in rush defense, allowing just 150.4 yards and less than one touchdown on the ground per game.

PRESEASON ALL-SLC:

UCA had nine student-athletes selected to the preseason AllSouthland Conference football team by the coaches. The Bears were led by senior WR Dezmin Lewis and senior OL Cole Caruthers on the first-team offense. Junior DE Jonathan Woodard was also a first-team selection. Second-team selections were senior WR Damien Watts, senior OL C.J. Simon, senior PK Eddie Camara, senior NG T.J. Randall, juinor DB Dillion Winfrey and sophomore KR Jatavious Wilson.

ODDS & ENDS:

UCA senior WR Damien Watts was a high school basketball teammate of St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha at Pleasant Grove HS outside Texarkana, Texas.. UCA is now 5-4 in season openers since moving to NCAA FCS in 2006... UCA played its first BCS opponent (Ole Miss) to open the 2012 season, losing 49-27. UCA lost to Colorado (38-24) in Game 2 of the 2013 season. Texas Tech was UCA’s latest BCS opponent three weeks ago. The Bears will play at Oklahoma State next season and at Kansas State in 2016... One of the top QBs in UCA history, Nathan Brown, is in his first season at offensive coordinator for the Bears. He was quarterbacks coach for the past three seasons and also retains that title this year. Brown threw for 10,558 career yards and 100 touchdowns during his career (2005-08)... Because of the rash of injuries last season, UCA returns 19 players with starting experience and 54 lettermen.

SCORING STREAK:

The Bears have scored in 213 straight games, dating back to the 1995 season. UCA lost 19-0 at Delta State for their last shutout loss. The Bears have scored in 319 of their last 320 games, dating back to 1986.

RECEIVING CORPS:

UCA had 17 different players catch a pass last season, with six catching more than 30. Of the top 12, 11 pass catchers return this season. The only one missing is tight end Chase Dixon. Fourteen of the overall 17 are back in 2012, missing two others who are no longer with the team. UCA’s receivers caught 361 passes for 3,979 yards last season, an average of 331.6 per game. The top receiver was senior Dezmin Lewis with 50 catches for 721 yards and 7 touchdowns. No. 2 was running back Willie Matthews with 45 for 265. Lewis is on the College Sports Performance Awards Receivers Watch List.

WINNING WAYS:

UCA enters the 2014 season as the winningest college football team in the state of Arkansas since 2001. Their best outing was an 11-3 record back in 2005 when they reached the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division II Playoffs and tied the school record for victories. Since 2001: 1. ..........
