RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. - After shutting out Southern Nazarene in the 2016 season opener, the Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys football team will hit the road for the first time for a Saturday matchup against Oklahoma Baptist. 

Kickoff is set for noon, with the game scheduled to be broadcast on 102.3-FM (KCJC) in Russellville.

Arkansas Tech's offense hit on all cylinders in its opening-week win over Southern Nazarene. Ty Reasnor completed 22 of 26 passes for 231 yards as the Wonder Boys (1-0) picked up a 46-0 win. The Wonder Boys were successful on seven of 13 third-down opportunities, while Tech's defense held SNU to just four of 14 conversions.
