Lions playing for perfect regular season
By Staff
The University of North Alabama football team will try to wrap up its regular season by becoming only the fifth squad in school history to go 11-0.
Standing in the Lions way is West Alabama, which is led by former UNA coach Bobby Wallace. Wallace guided the 1993 and 1995 teams to 11-0 starts.
Another former Lion prowls the sidelines for West Alabama. Harlon Hill trophy winning quarterback Will Hall is the Tigers' defensive coordinator.
Once the nostalgia wears off for Wallace and Hall, the Tigers (6-4) will be in for a long night.
