dpThe Bears and Seminoles have never played; however, the head coaches share a bond as both are UCA alumni and were teammates. UCA’s Nathan Brown was the Bears QB (2004-08), while Norvell (2001-05) was a WR.
Brown threw two TD passes to Norvell during the 2005 season; the first was Brown’s first TD pass as a Bear. Brown is first on the UCA career passing list with 1,267 passes completed, 10,558 yards, and 100 TDs. Norvell was inducted into the Central Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2015. He broke the school’s career receptions record with 213 for 2,611 yards and 15 touchdowns and still ranks second in program history in receptions.
