The UTPB football team travels to face Texas A&M-Commerce in a key Lone Star Conference matchup at 4 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
The Falcons (5-2 overall, 3-1 in conference) are tied with the Lions (5-3, 3-1) with three weeks remaining in the regular season.
Texas A&M-Commerce, the preseason favorite for the conference crown, announced earlier this year that it would be moving to Division I play next season as a member of the Southland Conference.
UTPB is coming off a 44-21 victory against Eastern New Mexico that saw the Falcons scored 27 unanswered points in the second half.
Wide receiver MJ Link caught a pair of touchdown passes in the game, giving him eight on the season to set a program single-season mark.
