locieal The season started as the Weevils traveled to Pine Bluff to face UA-PB’s Golden Lions. There were no reservations of an easy win. UA-PB’s offensive and defensive lines dwarfed those of UAM. The Golden Lions had a big play offense — Tilley said that it would take a miracle to beat them. With the score 14-7 and UAM driving to tie the game in the fourth quarter, disaster struck. UA-PB intercepted an errant Timmons pass and appeared content to run the remaining 5:17 off the clock. The miracle occured at 2:08 remaining in the game when the Weevils recovered a bobbled snap on their own 39. Timmons engineered a 61 yard drive that culminated in a 10 yard TD pass to Ingram with 13 seconds left in the contest. Disdaining the tie, Tilley called for the two point conversion and got his miracle. The Weevils came away with an amazing 15-14 comback win. The Weevils hit the road again for a match against Bishop College in Dallas. They were outmatched and out-muscled, the final score not reflecting Bishop’s superiority. The Boll Weevils lost 26-10. The Weevils sank to 1-2 as they came home to face Central Missouri State University in what came to be known as ‘the Mud Bowl’. The Weevils suffered a 19-0 defeat, losing 5 of 9 fumbles and one interception. Timmons was held to 36 yards passing with only two completions in five attempts. 170 Football RIGHT: Though the offense sputtered at times, senior qua;terback Benjie Timmons’ arm kept the Weevils alive.

better when UAM walloped Quachita 41-14 in the Homecoming game. The Weevils could do no wrong, and with the win, evened their season at 2-2 and 1-0 in conference play. Things took a turn for the 172 Football Freshman tailback Kenneth Rodgers was the rushing leader for the day with 140 yards. The win over OBU gave the Weevils a bit of confidence. They needed it, for they next faced the UCA Bears, the team picked in preseason to win the AIC, and picked correctly for they did just that. The Weevils stayed close, losing 21- 12, but gaining only 11 yards on the ground. Timmons’ passing kept the Weevils in the game. He was 12 of 24 for 174 yards. Tilley’s squad stayed close for most of the game, behind only 14-12 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The running game just couldn’t get untracked, though, and UCA clinched the victory with
