With the win on Saturday, Ouachita improves to 5-0 on the season. It is the first time the Tigers have started the season with five consecutive wins since the 2014 season. The win also improves the Tigers record to 7-2 on Homecoming Saturday's since the 2010 season.
Ouachita has now outscored opponents 107-15 at home this season in large part to a smash mouth defense. Keandre Evans (Junction City, Ark.) led the Tigers defense on Saturday afternoon, collecting 10 total tackles, a pair of pass breakups, two interceptions and a 103-yard touchdown. Jon Johnson (Haskell, Ark.) was the second leading tackler with nine stops in the game and Hayden Lassiter (Warren, Ark.) came away with the Tigers third interception of the game.
On the offensive side of the ball, quarterback Brayden Brazeal (England, Ark.) had another quality game under center for the Tigers. Brazeal passed for 116 yards and ran for an additional 88 yards in the contest. Brazeal's favorite targets this afternoon were Allie Freeman (Little Rock, Ark.) and La'Darius McElroy (Ashdown, Ark.) both ended the game with 50 or more receiving yards.
Kris Oliver (Arkadelphia, Ark.) led the Tigers in rushing once again. The senior crossed the 100-yard threshold for the third time this season and scored his first touch- down since week two against Southwestern Oklahoma State. Junior running backs Brockton Brown (Sheridan, Ark.) and Shun'cee Thomas (Bossier City, La.) ran the ball for positive yardage in the game.
Arkansas Tech (2-3) had a three-headed monster on the offensive side of the ball. Starting quarterback Carter Burcham threw for 325 yards but was intercepted by the Tigers on three different occasions. Running back Bryan Allen picked up 104-yards on the ground, while Terrez Hampton led the receiving core with seven receptions for 130 yards. First Quarter: Ouachita 0, Arkansas Tech 0 In the opening quarter of play, the two teams battled and fought for every yard they could get. Both squads had promising drives that ended in punts or were derailed by penalties.
The key play of the first quarter came with three minutes left in the opening stanza. The Wonder Boys had just completed a 24-yard pass and found themselves inside Ouachita territory for the first time. It did not last long as Evans intercepted his first pass of the afternoon and set the Tigers up with positive field position.
Second Quarter: Ouachita 10, Arkansas Tech 0 With 11:37 remaining in the quarter, the two teams were still scoreless. Backed up on their own 17-yardline Ouachita had long field ahead of them. Oliver broke off runs of 21 and 13 yards to set the Tigers up with a first-and-ten inside Arkansas Tech Territory. A few moments later Ouachita faced a third-and-long situation, Brazeal found McElroy for a 20-yard hookup and the Tigers set up shop at the Arkansas Tech one-yard line. Two plays later and Oliver found his way into the endzone for the first time in two weeks.
Up 7-0, Ouachita got the ball back with 2:47 left to go in the half. On the third play of the drive, Brazeal found McElroy for the second time in the game, this time it was 32-yard connection that gave Ouachita possession on the Arkansas Tech side of the 50. The Tigers called timeout with 48 seconds left to go in the half and called on senior kicker Cole Antley (Atlanta, Ga.) to attempt a 45-yard field goal. The senior nailed the kick and gave the Tigers a 10-0 advantage going into halftime. The 45-yard field goal was also the longest of the season for Antley.
Third Quarter: Ouachita 10, Arkansas Tech 0 The Wonder Boys opened the second half with the ball and began a 10-play drive down the field. Arkansas Tech marched down the field and found themselves inside the redzone for the first time all day. The Tiger defense stood strong and forced the Wonder Boys to attempt a field goal attempt. Arkansas Tech kicker Carson French missed a 38-yard field goal wide left and the Wonder Boys empty handed.
The two teams then traded punts for the rest of the quarter as Ouachita held onto a 10-0 lead going into the final frame.
Fourth Quarter: Ouachita 24, Arkansas Tech 7 With 10:30, remaining in the game Arkansas Tech found themselves backed up on their own eight-yard line and facing a third-and-twelve. Burcham then connected with Hampton for a massive 67-yard gain. Three players later and Tanner Gaines found the endzone from two-yards out.
After a quick three-and-out by Ouachita the Wonder Boys took over at their own 30-yardline. Burcham dropped back to pass on a second-and-20 play, Lassiter read the play the whole way and intercepted the ball. Lassiter ran the interception back inside the Arkansas Tech ten-yard line.
Two plays later and Brown punched the ball in for his seventh score of the season. The score gave the Tigers a 17-7 lead late in the fourth quarter.
Arkansas Tech got the ball back with 6:11 left to go in the game. The Tigers defense was unable to get the Tech offense off the field as they converted two consecutive third down plays. The second third down conversion put the Wonder Boys at the Ouachita 10-yard line.
The Wonder Boys appeared to be in good shape to come away with some points, with a third-and-goal opportunity on the five-yard line. Then the play of the game happened, Burcham dropped back to pass and threw the ball straight into the hands of Evans. Evans wisely took the ball out of the endzone and ran it all the way back, 103-yards to be exact, for a Tigers touchdown. The defensive score gave the Tigers a 24-7 advantage late in the game.
Arkansas Tech got the ball back with 3:13 to play in the game. The Wonder Boys marched it down the field but Ernest Reed (El Dorado, Ark.) came away with the game ending sack as time expired.
Next week the Tigers face their toughest road test yet with a trip to Searcy against nationally ranked Harding. For more information on the Ouachita football team head over to obutigers.com.

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – Brockton Brown scored three touchdowns in route to a 42-0 victory for Ouachita on Saturday night at Cliff Harris Stadium against the East Central Tigers.
For Ouachita they begin the season 4-0 in for the first time since the 2014 season, the win also gives Ouachita a sixth consecutive victory over East Central (1-3). The 42-point win is the largest in series history between the two schools and it was Ouachita's first shutout victory since week two of the 2012 season.
The Tigers offense dominated nearly every statistical category in the box score. Ouachita rushed for a season high 343 yards on 60 attempts. Ouachita also out threw East Central with 68 total yards through the air. The Ouachita offense ran 70 plays for 411 total yards and dominated the time of posses- sion, holding the ball for 37 minutes of game action.
In two games at home this season, Ouachita is averaging 41.5 points per game and is averaging 336 rushing yards per game and 422 yards of total offense. Brayden Brazeal (England, Ark.) had another efficient day under center. The redshirt freshman completed eight of his 10 passes for 68 yards. Brazeal also ran the ball for 31 yards and a touchdown.
Senior running back Kris Oliver (Arkadelphia, Ark.) led the offense in both rushing and receiving yards. Oliver averaged 12.7 yards a carry for 76 total yards and he hauled in a reception for 33 yards.
Shun'cee Thomas (Bossier City, La.), TJ Cole (Texarkana, Texas) and Brockton Brown (Sheridan, Ark.) each crossed the 60-yard rushing threshold in the game. All three players found the endzone as the Tigers scored six touchdowns on the ground.
First Quarter: Ouachita 7, East Central 0 The Ouachita defense set the tone early as middle linebacker Jon Johnson (Haskell, Ark.) intercepted Rayjohn Austin Ramsey on the third play of the game.
Ouachita took over with the ball on the East Central 39-yardline. Ouachita elected to go on fourth down from the East Central 24-yardline. Brazeal scrambled 17-yards down to the East Central seven. Two plays later Brown ran the ball in from six-yards out to give Ouachita the early lead.
The touchdown proved to be the only score of the quarter as both teams traded punts the rest of the way.
Second Quarter: Ouachita 28, East Central 0 Ouachita started first drive of the second quarter on their own 48-yardline. On what appeared to be another three-and-out looming for the Tigers, Brazeal found Oliver down the seam of the field for a 33-yard gain. Four plays later and Brazeal ran into the endzone from 17-yards out to give the Tigers a 14-0 advantage.
On Ouachita's second drive of the quarter the Tigers started on the East Central 38-yardline. Despite an errant snap going over Brown's head on first- and-goal, Brown was still able to rumble into the endzone two plays later.
Up 21-0, Ouachita gained possession of the ball with 3:41 to go in the first half. Oliver took the handoff and raced 29 yards into East Central territory. After an East Central timeout, Thomas broke a 22-yard run and was stopped on the one-yardline. One play later Thomas found the endzone for his only score of the night.
Ouachita defensive back Jonathan Harris (Pine Bluff, Ark.) capped off an aggressive opening half by the Ouachita defense, with an interception with eight seconds to go in the half.
Third Quarter: Ouachita 42, East Central 0 Ouachita received the second half kickoff and Allie Freeman (Little Rock, Ark.) returned the ball 37-yards to give the Tigers great field position. Five plays later and Brown found the endzone for the third time in the game, this time it was a 35-yard touchdown run by the junior.
Ouachita and East Central traded punts for the majority of the quarter. With 1:25, left in the quarter the Tigers had the ball at the East Central 47. Three rushes by Cole later and the Tigers had scored their sixth rushing touchdown of the night. The score was also the first career touchdown for Cole.
Fourth Quarter: Ouachita 42, East Central 0 Neither team put points on the board in the final quarter of play. Both teams gave younger players game reps as the two teams took turns running out the clock.
Next week Ouachita will face their first opponent from the Natural State in Arkansas Tech. Ouachita and Arkansas Tech will kick-off Homecoming festivities with a noon start at Cliff Harris Stadium next Saturday.

DURANT, Okla. – The No.14/15 Ouachita football team scored 18 unanswered points against Southeastern Oklahoma State on Saturday night, pick- ing up their third victory of the season 32-16.
With the victory, Ouachita improves to 3-0 for the first time since the 2014 season. The Tigers also hit the magic number tonight; Ouachita is now 12-4 all-time against Southeastern Oklahoma State (1-2, 1-2 GAC) when scoring 30 or more points.
The Tigers defense game up with stop-after-stop to keep Ouachita in the game. The defense was on the field for 80 plays tonight but produced four interceptions a possible program record in the Division II era.
The Ouachita offense ended the game with 383 yards of total offense, with the bulk of the yards coming from the Tigers explosive running attack. Ouachita accumulated 275 yards along the ground and quarterback Brayden Brazeal (England, Ark.) led the team with 136 yards and a score. Junior running back Shun'cee Thomas (Bossier City, La.) finished second on the team with 114 yards.
For the second straight year, the Ouachita quarterback was the top offensive threat in the game. Last season Austin Warford had 316 yards of total offense against the Savage Storm; tonight it was Brazeal who produced a career high 244 yards of total offense.
Airric Parker (San Diego, Calif.) and Dameyun McDonald (Helena, Ark.) lead the defense in tackles with 12 and 10 respectively. Parker and Keandre Evans (Junction City, Ark.) led the no-fly zone defense that produced four interceptions and 12 pass breakups on the night.
Tonight the special teams also played a key part for the Tigers. Senior kicker Cole Antley (Atlanta, Ga.) connected on his only field goal of the night, a 37-yarder in the fourth quarter. Sophomore punter Jake Ford (Australia) boomed a total of five punts on the night for an average of 39.4 yards and three found their way inside the 20-yardline.
First Quarter: Ouachita 7, Southeastern Oklahoma State 7 For the first time all season, the opponents scored first in a game against the Tigers. Southeastern Oklahoma State opened the game on an 11 play, 77- yard drive that was capped off by a Kenneth Burks one-yard touchdown run.
After an eight-play drive ended for the Tigers on a punt, the Ouachita defense took the game into their hands. Parker intercepted the pass at the South- eastern three-yard line and ran into the end zone to tie the game at seven.
Second Quarter: Ouachita 14, Southeastern Oklahoma State 10 After several stalled drives by both teams that resulted in punts, the Tigers took possession of the ball at the Ouachita 42-yardline with 7:10 remaining in the half. A 38-yard reception by Drew Harris (Benton, Ark.) on the third play of the drive, set the Tigers up on the Southeastern 18-yardline. One snap later and Brazeal scampered into the end zone for his first career-rushing touchdown. The touchdown gave the Tigers a 14-7 advantage with 5:47 remaining in the first half of play.
Southeastern Oklahoma State then went on a methodical 11-play, 69 yard drive. The Tigers defense stood strong in the red zone and forced the Savage Storm to kick one of their three field goals of the night.
Brazeal on the first play of the drive fumbled the ball after a four-yard run. It did not hurt the Tigers however, as linebacker, Jon Johnson (Haskell, Ark.) intercepted the Savage Storm for the second time in the game. Ouachita ran out the clock to go into the half with the lead.
Third Quarter: Ouachita 14, Southeastern Oklahoma State 16 The Tigers offense had a very forgettable third quarter; it was the only quarter in which Ouachita failed to score.
Meanwhile, the defense played a bend but don't break style of defense during the quarter. Southeastern went on two drives that lasted 10 and 13 plays, but both times the defense stepped up to the challenge and forces the Savage Storm to a pair of field goals.
Fourth Quarter: Ouachita 32, Southeastern Oklahoma State 16 The final quarter of play was all Ouachita; the Tigers defense blanked the Savage Storm in the final frame.
With 12:16 remaining in the game, the Tigers offense took over with the ball on their own 46-yard line. Brazeal rushed for a total of 43-yards on the drive and Brockton Brown (Sheridan, Ark.) rumbled in from three-yards out to give the Tigers the lead.
On the next series, Brown scored his second touchdown of the night, capping off a 9-play, 60 yard drive that took four minutes off the clock. Austin Guymon intercepted Southeastern on the first play of their next series and gave the ball back to the Tigers offense in the red zone.
Antley booted a 37-yard field goal through the uprights to give the Tigers a commanding 32-16 advantage with only three minutes to play in the game. The Savage Storm tried to get something going but Evans intercepted the ball at the 50-yard line to end any threat of a Southeastern comeback.
For the third consecutive game, the Tigers ran the victory formation to run out the clock. Ouachita will be back at home next weekend against East Central University. The Tigers will be looking to go 4-0 for the first time since the 2014 campaign.

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – On a warm and rainy night at Cliff Harris Stadium the No. 19/20 Ouachita Tigers pounded out 323 rushing yards against Southwestern Oklaho- ma State in a 41-8 pounding.
With the victory, Ouachita (2-0, 2-0 GAC) has now hoisted the Paul Sharp Trophy for three consecutive seasons. The Tigers also improve to 11-4 all-time against Southwestern Oklahoma State (1-1, 1-1 GAC) and Ouachita now holds a 7-1 mark in the Great American Conference era. The 33-point victory on Saturday night ties the largest Ouachita victory in series history.
Senior running back Kris Oliver (Arkadelphia, Ark.) lead a potent Tiger rushing attack. The Natural State native rumbled for a season high 127 yards and three scores on the night. Junior running back Shun'cee Thomas (Bossier City, La.) complemented Olivers pounding attack with a little bit of speed. Thomas carried the ball just four times in the game, but midway through the second quarter the Bossier City product broke free for a 61-yard touchdown run. Brockton Brown (Sheridan, Ark.) rounded out the touchdown runs with a three-yard score late in the game.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Brayden Brazeal (England, Ark.) had another quality outing completing 61 percent of his passes for 110 yards. Drew Harris (Benton, Ark.) was Brazeal's go to guy as he hauled in five receptions for 39-yards.
Special teams once again played an important role in the Tigers win, as they were able to flip the field position on multiple occasions. Jake Ford (Australia) punted the ball four times for an average of 33.8 yards and two of his punts landed inside the 20-yardline. Senior kicker Cole Antley (Atlanta, Ga.) connected on both of his field goal attempts and averaged 63-yards per kickoff in the game.
The Tigers defensive front played in the Bulldogs backfield all night as they brought Casey Freeman down five times during the game. In week one Freeman threw for 416 yards, this week the Tigers limited the talented quarterback to just 104 yards passing and Hayden Lassiter (Warren, Ark.) picked off a pass.
First Quarter: Ouachita 14, Southwestern Oklahoma State 0 After a quick three-and-out by Southwestern Oklahoma State to begin the game, the Tigers offense took over on their own 12-yard line. Ouachita then went on a -me thodical 15 play, 88-yard scoring drive to open the game.
The Tigers defense showed that they were hungry from the start as Khairan Stafford (Newport, Ark.) and Shimorye Hampton (Shreveport, La.) each sacked Freeman on back-to-back plays to force the Bulldogs into another punting situation.
Ouachita did not wait long to score their second touchdown of the game, as Oliver took the handoff on the first play of the drive and raced to the endzone for a 52-yard score.
Second Quarter: Ouachita 31, Southwestern Oklahoma State 0 The Tigers offense began the second quarter in opponents territory as they stood just nine yards away from the endzone. Ouachita was unable to score a touchdown but Antley connected on his first of two field goals on the night.
Southwestern Oklahoma State began to work the ball down field and it appeared that they were getting into a rhythm, but back-to-back incomplete passes stalled one of their longest drives of the game.
Two plays later and the Tigers offense found the endzone again, this time it was a 61-yard touchdown run by Thomas. After a series of back-to-back punts by each team, Ouachita took over with 2:27 remaining in the half on the Bulldogs 30-yardline. Two plays later and Oliver had found his way into the endzone for his third score of the half.
Southwestern Oklahoma State tried to respond to the offensive outpouring by Ouachita, but the Tigers defense made sure that would not happen. Lassiter intercepted the ball in the endzone to put an end to a potential scoring drive by the Bulldogs.
Third Quarter: Ouachita 41, Southwestern Oklahoma State 0 Ouachita opened up the second half on a nine-play scoring drive. After an incomplete pass in the endzone was knocked away by a Bulldog defender, Antley came out for his second field goal of the night. The Peach State native cleared the uprights for the second time in the game and extended the Tigers lead to 34-0.
With 6:09 remaining in the quarter Brown became the primary runner on the drive as he rumbled for a total of 35 yards and a touchdown.
Fourth Quarter: Ouachita 41, Southwestern Oklahoma State 8 Southwestern Oklahoma State broke up the shutout bid by the Ouachita defense at the start of the final quarter. Freeman found JR Omigie in the back of the endzone for the Bulldogs first score of the evening. The Bulldogs converted on the two-point attempt but still faced an uphill climb.
The rest of the quarter, both teams decided to give their younger players playing time. Ouachita fumbled and gave the Bulldogs prime field position late in the game. The Tigers defense made a huge goal line stand to make sure Southwestern Oklahoma State did not get in the endzone. The Tigers took over on downs and ran out the clock for their second victory of the season.
Ouachita has now started the season 2-0 in nine out of the past ten seasons. Next up for the Tigers is a road trip to Southeastern Oklahoma State. For more information on the Ouachita football team stay tuned to www.obutigers.com
