The Gents (0-4, 0-1 SCAC) fell 55-27 to the Texas Lutheran University Bulldogs last Saturday in their conference opener at home. The Scots (1-3, 0-1 SCAC) lost at McMurry University 65-7 in their league opener. Centenary and Lyon met twice last season with the Gents winning both games, 35-14 at home and 28-21 on the road.

Centenary was down 21-14 late in that game in Batesville last season but tied the score with under two minutes to play and then scored the winning touchdown with 15 seconds remaining to record a thrilling comeback victory. The Gents are 0-2 on the road this season with losses at Millsaps College and Austin College while the Scots are 1-1 at home.

"We're excited about our conference road opener," said head coach Byron Dawson.

"Lyon is a well-coached team with a strong veteran roster. For us, the focus must be on the little things like cleaning up the mistakes from last week and playing disciplined, complete football. Our goal is to compete at a high level for 60 minutes."

The Gents are averaging 389.5 yards of total offense per game – 291.8 passing and 97.8 rushing and average 22.3 points per game.
