How Bears stacking up in latest stats from UAC

If you had any doubt about how strong Central Arkansas’ 3-1 start to the season has been, all you have to do is look at the UAC Conference statistics so far. It’s full of Bears at — or near — the top on both sides of the ball.

Just glancing through you’ll notice that last game of the season against Tarleton State on Nov. 23 is going to be huge.

But that’s in the future. For now, UCA is showing by the numbers they are at the top.
