GAC WEEK TWO STORY LINES Southern Nazarene at (RV) East Central 6:00 PM • The Tigers can improve to 2-0 for just the second time since 1984 if it can extend its perfect record against the Crimson Storm. They Tigers have won their three home games against the Crimson Storm by a combined 152-23 margin. Last week, ECU quarterback Noah Holle made his debut by going 20-of-27 for 351 yards and five touchdowns, to five different receivers. No Division II quarterback tossed more touchdowns in the opening week of the season. (RV) Arkansas Tech at (23/23) Henderson State 6:00 PM • The Wonder Boys and Reddies face off for the 91st time in a contest between two 1-0 teams. Both defeated nationally-ranked teams in week one as Tech rallied past Southern Arkansas and HSU won at Harding. Henderson State has won six straight in the series. Both quarterbacks, the Wonder Boys’ Ty Reasnor and the Reddies’ Andrew Black, each threw for multiple touchdowns and added a rushing score in their respective wins. Arkansas-Monticello at Northwestern Oklahoma State 6:00 PM • The Weevils and Rangers square off in Alva for the second-straight season. Last year, in the season-opening contest, Northwestern Oklahoma State pulled out a 59-56 win in the highest scoring game in GAC history. In defeat, Weevil quarterback Cole Sears threw for 533 yards and six touchdowns. Three of those scoring strikes went to Jalen Tolliver, who accumulated 204 yards. Ranger receiver Da’Shawn Gordon caught a league-leading 10 passes in week one. (RV) Harding at (RV) Southern Arkansas 6:00 PM • The conference’s top two picks from the preseason poll tussle in Magnolia after both suffered week one defeats. Harding has won 11 straight in the series and has also won seven consecutive times in Magnolia. The Muleriders have not defeated the Bisons at home since 1991. In Harding’s last four wins in the series, they have outgained the Muleriders on the ground by an average margin or 469 yards to just 95. Oklahoma Baptist at Southeastern Oklahoma State 6:00 PM • Coming off of their largest margin of victory since a 60-0 win against Jefferson University in 1931 and their first shutout in an opener since a 17-0 triumph against Southern Arkansas in 1991, the Savage Storm welcome in the Bison. Southeastern has reached the 40-point mark in two wins against Oklahoma Baptist since the renewal of the series in 2015. The Bisons’ Alex Lewis and the Savage Storm’s Terrance Taylor produced the lone 100-yard receiving games in the GAC in week one. Ouachita at Southwestern Oklahoma State 6:00 PM • The Tigers and Bulldogs meet for the 14th time with the Paul Sharp Cup at stake. Sharp, a Ouachita alum, won a school-record 93 games for SWOSU. Both teams earned narrow week-one victories as Ouachita held off Northwestern Oklahoma State and SWOSU bested UAM, thanks to a blocked field goal by Dominic Blue. Last year, Ouachita’s Austin Warford earned Player of the Week honors as he threw for 268 yards and ran for 144 more and accounted for three touchdowns. WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM/GREATAMERICANCONFERENCE

The GREAT AMERICAN CONFERENCE officially became the NCAA’s 23rd Division II league on March 9, 2011. However, the new league was a concept that had been discussed since the early 1990s with ≠informal meetings and conference calls taking place until the league’s charter members announced they were seeking to form a new conference in July of 2010.

GAC WEEK TWO STORY LINES Southern Nazarene at (RV) East Central 6:00 PM • The Tigers can improve to 2-0 for just the second time since 1984 if it can extend its perfect record against the Crimson Storm. They Tigers have won their three home games against the Crimson Storm by a combined 152-23 margin. Last week, ECU quarterback Noah Holle made his debut by going 20-of-27 for 351 yards and five touchdowns, to five different receivers. No Division II quarterback tossed more touchdowns in the opening week of the season. (RV) Arkansas Tech at (23/23) Henderson State 6:00 PM • The Wonder Boys and Reddies face off for the 91st time in a contest between two 1-0 teams. Both defeated nationally-ranked teams in week one as Tech rallied past Southern Arkansas and HSU won at Harding. Henderson State has won six straight in the series. Both quarterbacks, the Wonder Boys’ Ty Reasnor and the Reddies’ Andrew Black, each threw for multiple touchdowns and added a rushing score in their respective wins. Arkansas-Monticello at Northwestern Oklahoma State 6:00 PM • The Weevils and Rangers square off in Alva for the second-straight season. Last year, in the season-opening contest, Northwestern Oklahoma State pulled out a 59-56 win in the highest scoring game in GAC history. In defeat, Weevil quarterback Cole Sears threw for 533 yards and six touchdowns. Three of those scoring strikes went to Jalen Tolliver, who accumulated 204 yards. Ranger receiver Da’Shawn Gordon caught a league-leading 10 passes in week one. (RV) Harding at (RV) Southern Arkansas 6:00 PM • The conference’s top two picks from the preseason poll tussle in Magnolia after both suffered week one defeats. Harding has won 11 straight in the series and has also won seven consecutive times in Magnolia. The Muleriders have not defeated the Bisons at home since 1991. In Harding’s last four wins in the series, they have outgained the Muleriders on the ground by an average margin or 469 yards to just 95. Oklahoma Baptist at Southeastern Oklahoma State 6:00 PM • Coming off of their largest margin of victory since a 60-0 win against Jefferson University in 1931 and their first shutout in an opener since a 17-0 triumph against Southern Arkansas in 1991, the Savage Storm welcome in the Bison. Southeastern has reached the 40-point mark in two wins against Oklahoma Baptist since the renewal of the series in 2015. The Bisons’ Alex Lewis and the Savage Storm’s Terrance Taylor produced the lone 100-yard receiving games in the GAC in week one. Ouachita at Southwestern Oklahoma State 6:00 PM • The Tigers and Bulldogs meet for the 14th time with the Paul Sharp Cup at stake. Sharp, a Ouachita alum, won a school-record 93 games for SWOSU. Both teams earned narrow week-one victories as Ouachita held off Northwestern Oklahoma State and SWOSU bested UAM, thanks to a blocked field goal by Dominic Blue. Last year, Ouachita’s Austin Warford earned Player of the Week honors as he threw for 268 yards and ran for 144 more and accounted for three touchdowns. WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM/GREATAMERICANCONFERENCE

The GREAT AMERICAN CONFERENCE officially became the NCAA’s 23rd Division II league on March 9, 2011. However, the new league was a concept that had been discussed since the early 1990s with ≠informal meetings and conference calls taking place until the league’s charter members announced they were seeking to form a new conference in July of 2010.
