Boll Weevils Leave Tech with Fifth Loss of the Season

The Weevil Football team leaves Arkansas Tech with a 24-10 loss, dropping their 2023 record to 2-5

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. - The University of Arkansas at Monticello football team played their seventh game of the 2023 season on Saturday evening when the Boll Weevils traveled to Great American Conference member Arkansas Tech University. UAM came out of the contest with a 24-10 loss to the Wonder Boys.

Arkansas Tech was the first to score and held on to the lead for the remainder of the game, seeing their offense grow a big lead over UAM before the Boll Weevils began to find their stride. The Arkansas-Monticello offense would put up 366 total offensive yards in the match-up. Arlie Lee contributed the lone Weevil touchdown on the game, rushing into the Wonder Boy end zone in the fourth quarter.

Taylor gave a 17-30 performance with 278 passing yards. Arlie Lee led UAM in receiving for five receptions and 96 total yards, with the longest being a 34-yarder. On the ground, Tristan Smith led the Boll Weevils with 10 carries for a net total of 42 yards.

Defensively, Michael McCorvey stood above the rest with seven total tackles and one solo stop on the game.

Zachary Grisotti led the day in extra point attempts, going 1-1. He also kicked a 23-yard field goal to go 1-2 on the game.

Post Game
Boll Weevil Head Coach Hud Jackson had this to say after the game: "Just didn't get it done. Had plenty opportunities tonight on both sides of the ball. We have to play well in all three phases every week. Penalties were key factor. Whether we agree or not, penalties take away momentum. We will be prepared for next week. Eat'em up!"
