But last season the Tigers sparked off eight-straight victories - tying a program record - and winning the Mid-South Conference West Division and earning an NAIA Playoff bid. The Fighting Tigers have a long way to go for another great ending to the year, as they are still taking their bumps with many underclassmen on the field. UPIKE (2-0) took advantage tonight, picking a part the secondary with touchdowns of 53 yards, 71 yards and 49 yards. Campbellsville forced a pair of first-half fumbles but on both ensuing possessions, the Tigers turned the ball over on downs and were forced to punt, only going seven plays and gaining two yards.

The Bears would then score on five of their next six possessions.

Sani Warren hit Braxton Witmore for a 71-yard touchdown and the next possession, the duo hooked up again for a 49-yard score. Witmore finished with just the two touchdown catches and 120 yards. Campbellsville was able to cut the score back to a one possession game - going 64 yards on eight plays - as Hunter Brown hit Jacob Lamb for the second of what would be three touchdown hookups between the two and also the first three of his career. But UPIKE struck right back capping an eight-play 68-yard drive with a 22-yard touchdown pass from Warren to Austin Pray. Warren finished the night throwing for 363 yards (18-of-26) and three touchdowns. CU came right back and cut the score back to a one possession game, 41-34, with 1:51 left, as Brown hit Lamb for their final touchdown hookup.
