While the MEAC was busy making waves in out of conference play, several SWAC teams got together for some high-scoring, exciting contests on Saturday. Outside of the conference, however, several teams struggled or were just plain bad.
Alabama State traveled to Arkansas-Pine Bluff in desperate need of a win after losing both of its first two contests in the games last minutes. UAPB, the defending champs, needed a win just as badly, having been blown out in its first two contests of the season. It looked as if they were headed to another one early, as Alabama State jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter.
