Coach Gwaine Mathews and the University of Arkansas at Monticello Boll Weevils will look to rebound from a tough 41-7 loss at the hands of Henderson State this week as they host third-ranked North Alabama this Saturday as part of Homecoming festivities on the UAM campus.

Saturday’s meeting, the tenth meeting in a series dating back to the 1998 season will be perhaps the Boll Weevils’ most difficult game of the season thus far. The third-ranked Lions enter this weekend’s game undefeated, having outscored their opponents by an average of over 24 points per game.

Kickoff from Convoy Leslie-Cotton Boll Stadium is set for 3 p.m., with tailgating beginning at noon and the Walk of Champions scheduled for 1 p.m.
