Landen Chambers ran for a 4-yard touchdown late in the second quarter and capped a nine-play, 75-yard drive to open the second half with a 2-yard scoring run to give Central Arkansas (3-8, 2-5 United Athletic Conference) a 21-14 lead less than three minutes into the third quarter.

The Thunderbirds responded with a 12-play drive that took more than seven minutes off the clock and culminated with Dye's short TD run. A couple plays later, Mikey Allen intercepted a pass to give Southern Utah possession near midfield and set up Barron's go-ahead touchdown.
