Central Oklahoma makes its final road trip of the regular season Saturday when the Bronchos trek to St. Joseph, Mo. to take on Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association rival Lindenwood.

Kickoff at 6,000-seat Hunter Stadium is 1:30 p.m.

UCO is 7-2 on the season and in the conference, having clinched its first winning season since 2008.  The Lions are 1-8 overall and in the league.

The Bronchos were picked 10th (coaches) and 11th (media) in the pre-season MIAA polls, while LU was tabbed ninth by both.

ON THE AIR:  All UCO games are broadcast live on 99.7 Hank FM.

Veteran broadcaster David Garrett calls the action, with former UCO All-American John Fitzgerald adding color commentary.

RECEIVING VOTES:  UCO continued to receive votes in the American Football Coaches Association poll, finishing with one  point this week.

The Bronchos haven't been in the AFCA poll since Sept. 6, 2005 (No. 24).

ABOUT THE SERIES:  The teams have met just once before, with Lindenwood winning 48-14 in the 2011 season finale in Edmond before either team was a member of the MIAA.

The Lions and UCO, along with Northeastern State and Nebraska-Kearney, joined the conference with the start of the 2012-13 academic year.

ROAD SUCCESS:  UCO has won three of four road games this season.

The Bronchos had a three-game road winning streak ended in its last away outing, a 31-19 loss to Central Missouri on Oct. 11.

UCO has won at Fort Hays State (26-7), Emporia State (24-14) and Nebraska-Kearney (49-0) this season.
