The University of Arkansas at Monticello travelled to Ada, Oklahoma on Saturday, November 5, to face Great American Conference opponent the East Central Tigers.

The Weevils would win the coin toss and would defer to the second half. 

The Weevils were able to end the first TIger drive after an interception by Greg Hooks gave the Weevils possession at the 20-yard line after intercepting the ball in the end zone for touchback.
