Posted
By OUAZ Sports Information
With the start of the spring football season, the NAIA released the first 2020-21 NAIA Football FirstDown PlayBook Top 25 Poll of the season on Feb. 21.
The OUAZ team was voted No. 16 by the coaches for its highest ranking in the first poll of the season in program history.
OUAZ received 144 points in the voting to hold the same No. 16 position it held at the end of the 2019 season. The Spirit is one of five teams in the poll that have yet to play a game this season.
OUAZ is the highest-rated team in the Sooner Athletic Conference. Arizona Christian came in at No. 24 while Langston was listed among the other teams receiving votes.
The Spirit will open the spring football season on March 6, when they host No. 24 Arizona Christian at Spirit Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m., but spectators will not be allowed inside because of COVID-19 protocols.
