The Murray State football team suffered a 26-13 loss last Saturday to Central Arkansas. Associate Athletics Director of Media Relations Dave Winder captured these shots of the Racers under the lights at Estes Stadium.
Some pics I took from Saturday's game in Conway against Central Arkansas. Estes Stadium has purple & gray striped field turf. It was unlike any game that I've ever shot. pic.twitter.com/jKpuyirjxC
