LIVINGSTON, Ala. – The University of West Alabama football team looks to return to the win column, as the Tigers (3-5, 1-4 Gulf South Conference) host West Georgia for Homecoming 2008. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. The game will be aired on WZNJ 106.5-FM and will be streamed over the internet on the B2 Network, both will be available at athletics.uwa.edu.

West Alabama enters the contest looking to snap a two-game, losing streak after falling 27-14 at the University of Arkansas at Monticello last weekend. The setback to UAM extended two streaks for UWA, as the Tigers have dropped three straight conference games this season, but have also lost eight consecutive road conference games.

West Georgia (0-7, 0-5 GSC) also walks into Saturday’s contest looking to snap a streak. The Wolves look for their first win of the season and bring to an end an 11-game losing streak that dates back to Oct. 13, 2007, a 30-28 win over West Alabama in Carrollton.

The gridiron series between UWA and UWG dates back to the 1983 season.  Saturday’s game marks the 26th meeting between the two GSC members with the Red and Blue Wolves holding a 17-8 advantage in the series.  The two schools have played five times previously for UWA’s Homecoming contest with the Red and White claiming two of those tilts.

West Alabama returns to action on Saturday, Nov. 1, as the Tigers return to the State of Arkansas for the fourth time this season to face Ouachita Baptist. Kickoff in Arkadelphia, Ark. is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
