DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern will look to get back in the win column when it welcomes Bacone to Paul Laird Field at 2 p.m. on Saturday for the first afternoon game of the season and the only out-of-conference matchup in 2014.
 
The Savage Storm come into the contest at 1-3 on the season, but have been involved in three games settled with less than a minute to play, dropping two of them, including last week's matchup against Ouachita Baptist which ended 35-29 when the Tigers scored with 11 seconds remaining.
 
The SE running game has led the way on the year to this point, with Ronnie Green taking over the lead with 369 yards on 65 carries with four touchdowns, and Devlon Wortham right behind with 356 yards on 30 carries with three scores, but has missed a game and been limited in last week's contest after suffering an injury in the win over Arkansas-Monticello.
 
Ryan Polite has turned in some solid passing outings and has completed 60.5 percent of his passes for 873 yards with seven touchdowns, doing the biggest chunk of it on a pair of 300-yard passing games.  He has also added 157 yards rushing and a TD and is averaging 257.5 yards per game in total offense.
 
He has found a trio of favorite receivers, led by Anthony Foster who has 17 catches for 213 yards, while Kaymon Farmer has added 17 catches for 149 yards and two scores, with Franky Okafor adding 16 catches for 175 yards and a touchdown.
 
On defense, Tomas Curry leads the way with 26 tackles, while Raheem Wilson is right behind with 25, while Kevin Jones-Dickerson, Tanner Ginavan and Chad Tucker have 20-or-more tackles on the year.
 
Tucker and Troy Parker have the only interceptions on the season, while the defense has recovered four fumbles and combined for five sacks.
 
Bacone comes to Durant with a 2-2 mark on the season after dropping its last two outings, including a 37-13 loss to Louisiana College last time out.
 
The Warriors are led on the ground by Victor Smith who has picked up 207 yards on 60 carries in four games, while Roderick Mackey and Damian Johnson have each rushed for over 100 yards on the season with a touchdown each.
 
Colton Owen leads the team in passing with 311 yards and four touchdowns, while splitting time with Omar Kharroub at QB with Kharroub adding 265 yards passing and a touchdown.
 
David Chapman has been on the receiving end of 19 of the team's 59 completions and has piled up 391 yards and four scores.
 
Keshaun Malone has paced the Warrior defense with 57 tackles over just four games, including four for a loss and four interceptions.
