Hendrix College (3-2 SCAC; 5-4 overall) earned the third seed for this weekend's event, but with Austin College, Centenary College and Lyon College all finishing 1-4 in league play, tiebreakers were needed to determine the fourth seed. The first seed tiebreaker that provided any differentiation was overall losses and Centenary had one more loss (seven) than both Lyon and Austin College (six). Once two teams were remaining, the league's tiebreaker reverted to head-to-head results and Lyon (1-4 SCAC; 2-6 overall) earned the berth in the third-place game by virtue of its 40-28 victory over Austin College on November 1 in Sherman. Hendrix defeated Lyon, 38-21, on October 25 in a game played in Conway, Ark.

Capping Saturday's tripleheader will be top-seeded Texas Lutheran University (5-0 SCAC; 6-3 overall) against second-seeded McMurry University (4-1 SCAC; 5-4 overall) with the 2025 conference title on the line. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 pm CT. The Bulldogs walked away with a 42-13 victory over the War Hawks two Saturday's ago in a game played in Abilene. The two teams were co-champions of the SCAC last season.

The Gents (1-7, 1-4 SCAC) and 'Roos (2-6, 1-4 SCAC) will meet for the second week in a row after Austin College defeated Centenary 20-10 in Shreveport last Saturday. The Gents and 'Roos are also playing each other for the third time this season as Austin College recorded a 41-15 win over Centenary on Oct. 4 in Sherman, Texas.

"We are excited about the opportunity to play at a historic venue, War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock," said head coach Byron Dawson.

"This is a great event, and we're looking forward to competing at a high level. We must be prepared and ready to face a strong Austin team, staying focused on correcting the mistakes from last week and executing the game plan with discipline and effort."

PASSING: Senior QB/LB Vance Feuerbacher (Plano, Texas) – 101-156 for 1,112 yards (9 TD and 2 INT)

RECEIVING: Freshman WR Theo Dunn (Gonzales, La.) – 47 catches for 659 yards and 5 TD

RUSHING: Senior RB Obadiah Butler (Crowley, La.) – 64 attempts for 549 yards and 4 TD

TACKLES: Senior DL Rhema Getter (Shreveport, La.) – 54 total tackles (33 solo)

The Gents' defense has registered 48 tackles for loss, 16 sacks, nine interceptions, and three forced fumbles.

Feuerbacher is injured and out for the remainder of the season, but in the four games he played in he continued to add to his impressive career statistics with over 1,000 yards passing and nine touchdown passes. In his absence, the Gents have used three other QB's -freshman Abram Wardell (Shreveport, La.), senior Zin'Tavious Smith (Coushatta, La.), and freshman Brock Hamilton (Baton Rouge, La.). The trio has combined to pass for 874 yards and two TD. Hamilton has started the last two games and passed for 363 yards with no TD and no interceptions.

Butler has been one of the top running backs in the SCAC all season as he ranks second in rushing yards/game (68.6) and is the league leader with 1,464 all-purpose yards and averages 183 YPG which is good for fourth nationally in division III. Butler is also seventh in total offense and owns the conference's top two rushing performances of the season, finishing with 234 yards at Lyon on Oct. 18 which was preceded by 159 yards the week before at home against Texas Lutheran University. He was appropriately named to the D3football.com Team of the Week and selected as the SCAC Offensive Player of the Week following his monster performance in the Gents' overtime win at Lyon.

He also has the conference's two longest runs of the season – a 95-yard run against TLU and an 80-yard scamper against Lyon. Butler amassed 274 all-purpose yards against the Bulldogs and 269 yards against the Scots – the top two totals in the conference this season.

Dunn is in the midst of an impressive rookie season as he ranks third in the conference in receiving yards per game (82.4) and has been very consistent, with 60 or more yards six times and a pair of 100-yard games. He had a season-high 133 yards against East Texas Baptist University on Sept. 20.

Getter is averaging 6.8 tackles/game which is good for fifth in the conference and also ranks fifth in tackles for loss (8.5). He had 18 solo tackles in the Lyon win, the second-most by a SCAC player in a game this season, and was named the SCAC Defensive Player of the Week.
