RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. – SWOSU Football suffered a 29-19 loss at Arkansas Tech on Saturday night, with three fourth-quarter turnovers sealing their fate.

The Bulldogs (2-4) led for nearly three quarters until Tech took their first lead on the final play of the third quarter. The fourth quarter was a wild ride, but didn't end in SWOSU's favor.

Trailing 15-12, quarterback Kai Kunz was picked off three plays into the fourth quarter, resulting in a 15-yard pick-six that pushed Tech's lead to 22-12. However, Kunz and the Dawgs responded with an eight-play touchdown drive, capped off by a 28-yard touchdown 'pass' to Michael Arceneaux II. Arceneaux, in motion, took a ball from Kunz and sprinted down the sideline to make it 22-19 with 9:38 left.

A muffed kickoff recovery by James Thomas set SWOSU up at the ATU 22, but a fumble inside the 10-yard line killed the momentum. Tech scored six plays later to push the lead back to 10, and another interception sealed the result.

In the first half, SWOSU led by scores of 6-2, after a blocked extra point, and 12-8 after failed two-point tries by both Tech and SWOSU.

Kunz finished 16-for-24 passing for 177 yards and added 93 rushing yards on 25 carries with two other scores.

Defensively, Keshaun Jackson had 12 tackles, while James Thomas added 10. Desmond Greene intercepted his fifth pass of the season in the first quarter.

SWOSU totaled 301 yards of offense, compared to Tech's 327. The Bulldogs converted 11-of-16 third downs, a season best. It's the second time this season the Bulldogs eclipsed the 300-yard mark on offense.

Next up, SWOSU travels to face Oklahoma Baptist on October 19, followed by Homecoming on October 26 against Southeastern.
