16. Opinion (Local Issue)

 



The Southern Arkansas University Football team took on Missouri Western in the Farmer's Bank & Trust Live United Bowl. The victory gives the Muleriders the program's first postseason win in its NCAA Era (1995-96), its first postseason win since 1990 (Aztec Bowl) and its first postseason win on U.S. soil since 1948 (Papoose Bowl).  Southern Arkansas ran through the MIAA's third-ranked (26th nationally) rushing defense to the tune of 390 yards rushing at 7.5 yards per carry with rushing touchdowns scored by LUB Most Valuable Player Jariq Scales, junior running back Kadyn Roach and senior quarterback OB Jones.

Southern Arkansas 43 points set a program record for a postseason game. Also, defensively SAU's three force turnovers also set a program postseason record. 

In my opinion SAU came out and knew that the game was there's. They were able to secure the win and also set program records as well. I believe this will boosts confidences for next season and the many seasons to come after. I think this will also motivate the players to play better and work harder.
