LAST WEEK IN REVIEW
The Upper Iowa football squad squared off against Truman State last weekend, and the Bulldogs outlasted the Peacocks 26-23 in a close contest.

A game-high toss of 40 yards from quarterback Darryl Overtstreet Jr. to Koda Gates-Bridges brought Upper Iowa within three (26-23) with one minute remaining in the contest. However, there was not enough time for the Peacocks to regain the lead after Truman State recovered the onside kick.
