Newberry (3-3 overall, 2-1 SAC) opened the conference slate with huge home wins against Carson-Newman and Catawba but wasknocked off last week at Mars Hill.
Newberry's offense struggled mightily at times in a 27-6 upset at the Lions.
Wingate (7-0, 3-0) is off to the best start in school history. The Bulldogs opened up SAC play with a big home win against Tusculum and knocked off Lenoir-Rhyne 35-27 last week.
Wingate's mettle will be tested the next three weeks as it challenges Catawba and Carson-Newman after tomorrow's game against Newberry. Newberry fell out of the American Football Coaches' Association poll this week, while Wingate currently sits at No. 15.
