Returning starters in bold

SEASONPREVIEW

QuarterbackFor the second straight year, the Wildcats will

begin a season with a quarterback who has never started a game at the college level. If it works out as well as it did last year with John David Baker setting a school record for touchdowns account-ed for with 40, the Wildcats will be in business. Redshirt sophomore Parker McKenzie – who was just 3 of 3 for 33 yards in extremely limited action as a redshirt freshman in 2013 – won the starting job in spring training and enters fall camp listed as the starter. McKenzie’s hold on the starting job became more solid when last year’s backup, Malcolm Ruben, decided over the summer to transfer after he lost the battle for the starting job to McKenzie. Redshirt freshman Kade Munden will enter fall camp as the backup, while another redshirt freshman, Will Weathers, is also on the depth chart. However, ACU signed two freshmen quarterbacks in Dallas Sealey and Cody Ennis, who could challenge for either the starting or backup jobs in their first seasons as Wildcats.

Running BacksRedshirt junior Herschel Sims returns to

Abilene where he made his name at Abilene High School as one of the top prep running backs in the country. He’s taken a circuitous road to get back to Abilene, first signing with Oklahoma State and playing there as a true freshman in 2011 before transferring to Lamar where he played seven games in 2012 before leaving the team. He trans-ferred to ACU in January 2013 and had to sit out last season because of transfer rules. But he was very good in the spring and enters the season as the undisputed starter at running back. He’ll be backed up by redshirt freshman De’Andre Brown, who had one of the best spring camps of any Wildcat. Sophomore Adrian Duncan – who saw action last year, finishing with 156 yards and two touchdowns on 36 carries in four games – also

returns as a backup. Another redshirt freshman, Randy Gober, will see playing time after recov-ering from an achilles tendon tear he suffered on the first day of fall camp last August.

Fullback / Tight EndThe Wildcats will rotate three players

between fullback and the tight end / h-back spots with seniors Jonathan Parker and Noah Cheshier seeing the majority of the time at fullback. Tight end Jamie Walker could also line up in the backfield in certain formations, but will spend the majority of his time at the tight end / h-back spot. Parker will start at fullback and Walker at tight end, but Parker will be the first tight end in the game when Walker is not on the field. Last season Cheshier caught 12 passes for 91 yards and four touchdowns, while Parker caught nine passes for 79 yards and one touchdown, Walker caught eight passes for 79 yards and six touchdowns. Walker, in fact, is the leading return scorer on the offensive side of the ball. Both Walker and Parker are solid in the run game, and both have shown the ability to be a reliable check-down receiver for whomever the Wildcats have taking snaps at quartterback.

Wide ReceiversPerhaps no position group on the roster was

hit as hard by graduation as was the receiver group. Gone are three of the most productive receivers in ACU history, replace by what is a largely unproven group of wideouts. Gabriel, Cantu-Harkless and Hogg combined to catch 490 passes for 6,901 yards and 69 touchdowns and rack up 10,421 career all-purpose yards from 2010-13. This year’s group returns no one with that kind of experience, and it’s the biggest question mark on the team entering the season behind the quarterback position. The team’s leading returning receiver is Demarcus

Thompson, who caught 23 passes for 305 yards and three touchdowns in 2013. Also returning are Monte Green-Avery (4-97-0), Jace Hudson (4-48-0) and Cade Stone (2-10-0). The Wildcats will finally see junior Cedric Gilbert on the field after he sat out last season after transferring from Cisco Junior College. Collums is also excited about signees Chris Lide and Marcus Ellis, as well as the late addition of freshman Byron Proctor of San Antonio Holmes. He could fill the multi-purpose role left behind when Cantu-Harkless graduated.

Offensive Line Replacing three starters won’t be an easy task, and neither will replacing offensive line coach Sam Collins, who resigned over the summer. The new offensive line coach is Scott Carey, and he will inherit returning starters in Logan Hoppenrath at center and Colton Carnes at right guard with Hoppenrath starting three games and Carnes all 11. Junior college transfer Parker Whitney came out of spring training and enters fall camp at left guard, while a pair of redshirt freshmen – Chance Rieken and Riley Mayfield – enter camp as the starters at left and right tackle, respectively. The backups entering fall camp include a transfer in Codey Funk at left tackle, a true freshman in Kris Thigpen at right guard, two redshirt freshmen in Austin Hisler at left guard and Hayden Wall at center, and a converted defensive end in redshirt freshman Josh Hailey at right tackle. True freshmen Cole Baughman and Brady Melde could also see time in 2014. Like the rest of the offensive unit, the Wildcats’ offensive line might be one of the youngest in the Southland Conference. Collums likes the talent, but how well the group holds up against a 12-game NCAA Division I football season will go a long way in determining the Wildcats’ success.


2014 ACU Offense

Junior TE Jamie Walker

he ACU Wildcats will field one of their most inexperienced offensive units since current head coach Ken Collums became the offensive coordinator in 2005, and it just happens to coincide with the team playing the toughest regular-season schedule in program history.

The Wildcats lost a record-setting quarterback in senior John David Baker, three of the best wide receivers in ACU history in seniors Taylor Gabriel, Darrell Cantu-Harkless and Darian Hogg, one of the fastest and most productive running backs in Wildcat football history in senior Charcandrick West and three offensive linemen who started 22 straight games together in se-niors Josh Perez, Blake Spears and Will Latu. Add it up and that’s eight starters gone, including five skill-position players that helped the Wildcats average more than 485 yards and 45 points per game in a 6-5 campaign in 2013.

Now in the program’s first season as a full-fledged member of the Southland Conference since 1972, Collums – entering his third season as the head coach with a record of 13-9 – must piece together an offense capable of moving the ball and putting up points against a schedule that posted a combined record of 72-67 last year and saw three teams reach the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs. Take away Georgia State’s 0-12 record in 2013 and the combined record is 72-55 with eight of 12 teams finishing at least .500 or better.

Collums and second-year offensive coordinator Nathan Young certainly have a track record of offensive excellence, but with a youth movement in full swing in the program’s second season at the FCS Division I level, putting up the kind of numbers that Wildcat fans have grown accustomed to seeing over the last eight seasons could be the toughest challenge Collums has faced in his ACU tenure. n

SEASONPREVIEW


2014 ACU Defense or the first time since the 2009 season, the ACU Wildcats return a more experienced defensive lineup than their counterparts on the offensive side of the ball. That season was the last time the Wildcats allowed less than 300 yards per game, and they recorded 43 sacks and held eight of their 13 opponents to 15 points or less.

The Wildcats won’t need an exact duplicate of that kind of performance in 2014, but head coach Ken Collums and defensive coordinator Darian Dulin would certainly take it given some of the high-octane offenses the Wildcats will face this season. The Wildcats return eight starters from last year’s unit, which collected 29 takeaways and helped ACU put together a plus-17 turnover margin, one of the best marks in the country.

The secondary returns all four starters, while a pair of linebackers return, along with two defensive linemen. ACU coaches have made finding big people on the defensive line a priority in recruiting over the last two off-seasons, and those players signed in 2013 and 2014 could all see significant playing time this season.

ACU will be tested right off the bat with games against FBS opponents Georgia State (Aug. 27) and Troy (Sept. 13) sandwiching a home game against Northern Arizona, which reached the FCS playoffs last season. And offenses at Incarnate Word, Sam Houston State, McNeese State, Lamar, Central Arkansas and Stephen F. Austin all have returning playmakers on the offensive side of the ball that will test the Wildcats’ defense. n

Defensive EndsSenior Nick Richardson returns for his final

season and enters the 2014 campaign needing 11.0 sacks to surpass Reuben Mason as the program’s all-time leader in sacks. Mason racked up 34.0 sacks from 1976-78. Richardson had 11.0 sacks last season to give him 23.5 for his career, which is currently good for ninth on ACU’s all-time sacks list. Richardson has already been named to the 2014 College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) Watch List. The initial watch list includes 38 defensive linemen, vying for the top defensive end and defensive tackle awards in the Football Championship Subdivision. Cameron Briscoe, who saw limited playing time in 2013, is listed as the backup to Richardson entering fall camp. Starting at the other end spot will be senior Rob Boyd, who has been slowed by back injuries each of the last two seasons. He’ll be backed up by transfer William Moore (Houston), the younger brother of former Wildcat all-conference defensive lineman Donald Moore. A trio of true freshmen could see playing time with Devondric Meadows listed behind Boyd and Anthony Davis and A.J. Tobert – the son of former Dallas Cowboys all-pro defensive end Tony Tolbert – listed on the fall camp depth chart behind Richardson.

Defensive TacklesFollowing the 2012 season and leading into

2013 National Signing Day, Collums went to Frisco to see North Dakota State win the first of three straight FCS national championships, and came away knowing what the Wildcats had to do in order to compete in the Southland Conference: get bigger and more physical on both lines, but especially on the defensive side, and, more specifically, at defensive tackle. To that end, the Wildcats have sought out big bodies to play on the interior of the defensive line and return three players who saw significant playing time on the line last year, and welcome in three true freshmen who could all see playing time at

defensive tackle in 2014. Damon Williams – who transferred to ACU from Oklahoma prior to the 2013 season – came on nicely toward the end of the 2013 season and returns as the starter at defensive tackle. At 6-3, 305 pounds, Williams has the kind of size and bulk the Wildcats need on the interior of their defensive line. Redshirt sophomore Josh Bloom enters fall camp as the Wildcats’ starter at nose guard, lining up next to Williams on the interior. Bloom – who also competes on the Wildcats’ track and field team – was third on last year’s team with three passes broken up and another three defended. Senior Brandon Dornak – coming off a season that saw him record six tackles in 11 games – is the backup to Williams at tackle, while incoming Travaughn Moore (6-3, 310 / Tyler John Tyler HS) is listed as Bloom’s backup at nose guard. Another incoming freshman who should see plenty of playing time is LaMarcus Allen (6-1, 300 / Prosper HS), who is behind Williams and Dornak at tackle. ACU’s other incoming freshman defensive tackle is Trent Andrews (6-1, 275 / Bosqueville), who is listed behind Bloom and Moore at nose guard.

LinebackersThis position group returns the most

experience of any group on the team in 2014 as starters Blake Rudd and Justin Stephens return, along with key backups in Chris Summers, Chuck Oputa and Travis Tarver. Summers and Tarver have both started games at linebacker for the Wildcats, who welcome Tarver back after he missed the 2013 season with eligibility issues. Senior Lynn Grady slides down from safety to strongside linebacker, and he’ll enter fall camp as the starter at that spot. Rudd – who had two interceptions, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble in 2013 – gets the early nod as the starter at middle linebacker, while Stephens – who is recovering from off-season knee surgery – is slated to start on the weak side. Oputas backs up Grady, while Summers backs up Rudd in the middle and Tarver backs up Stephens. Incoming

freshmen could make an impact at linebacker as well as Bryson Gates (strongside linebacker), Dylan Douglass and Sam Denmark (middle linebacker) and Gavin Burford and Myles Solesberry (weakside linebacker) could all see playing time in 2014.

CornerbacksThe Wildcats return both of their starters

at cornerback in juniors Tyler Chapa (right) and Keith Barnett (left). Last season they combined for 87 tackles, five passes broken up, seven defended and two interceptions. Both of the interceptions were hauled in by Chapa, who returned one for a score against Pittsburg State (Kan.). Quinton Baker, who saw significant playing time as a freshman in 2013, is the backup to Barnett, while two incoming freshmen – Terry Ausborne from Tyler John Tyler HS and Jamar Mack from Dallas Roosevelt HS –are listed as the backups to Chapa at right cornerback and figure to see plenty of time on the field.

SafetiesThe Wildcats also return both of their

starters at the safety spots as last year’s leading tacklers Angel Lopez (strong safety) and Justin Stewart (free safety) return to their respective positions. Lopez led the club in tackles with 109 to go along with 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.0 sacks, two interceptions, four passes broken up and six passes defended. Stewart was just as active, finishing with 72 tackles to go along with 1.0 sacks, one interception, one pass broken up and two passes defended. The Wildcats did lose a key backup in Will Harlos, who had to give up the game over the summer after his neck never fully healed after an injury last season. That means redshirt freshman Quentin Bryant goes into fall camp as the backup to Stewart at free safety, while sophomore D.J. Arnold enters camp as the backup to Lopez at strong safety. Another incoming freshman – Damian Howard (Broken Arrow, Okla., HS) – is on the depth chart behind Lopez and Arnold.

Senior LB Justin Stephens

2014 ACU Special Teams he Wildcats will return what should be one of the top kicking duos in the Southland Conference in 2014 in sophomore placekicker Nik Grau and sophomore punter Austin Kilcullen. Both kickers enjoyed specatacular freshman seasons as they each etched their name in the ACU football record book. ACU head coach Ken Collums isn’t kidding when he flatly states that Grau “might be our best player.” And that’s not a knock on anyone else, especially when considering that he only missed one field goal last season, had a streak of 33 straight PATs made and punched 24 of 82 kickoffs through the back of the end zone for touchbacks. His leg, in fact, might be the Wildcats’ biggest weapon early on while the offense is findings its way. Kilcullen set a new single-season record for punting average and had 11 punts of at least 50 yards during the season with a long of 64 yards against Illinois State on Sept. 21. The Wildcats return several players from a punt return coverage unit that allowed just 9.6 yards per return last season, as well as punt return unit that averaged better than 12.0 yards per return. ACU, however, special teams coach Mark Ribaudo will have to break in new punt and kickoff return specialists after losses to graduation cost them their top return men from 2013. The Wildcats will also be breaking in a new snapper after both Brent Schroeder and Jordan Lightfoot graduated. n Placekicker Nik Grau turned in one of the top freshman seasons by a placekicker in ACU football history. He made 10 of 11 field goals for a 90.9 conversion percentage, which – if ACU’s statistics had counted last year in the FCS statistical rankings – would have been the best mark in NCAA Division I FCS football and tied for 13th in NCAA Division I football. That mark is ACU’s new single-season record, and his 56 PATs is the third-most in a season behind Matt Adams (82 in 2007 and 78 in 2008). Grau also had 86 kicking points in 2013, which is tied for fourth (Morgan Lineberry in 2011) in ACU single-season history. Grau also made 33 straight PATs (the last four of the season-opening win over Concordia, 7 for 7 against both McMurry and New Mexico Highlands, 2 for 2 vs. Illinois State, 4 for 4 against Tarleton State, 2 for 2 against Pittsburg State and 7 for 7 against Houston Baptist. He carries a streak of eight straight made field goals into the 2014 season. Grau’s backup will be Ben Hynds, who was 3 for 3 on PATs in 2013.

Punter Austin Kilcullen set a new ACU single-season record for punting average with a mark of 44.2 yards per punt in 2013, an average that would have led the Southland Conference by almost two yards per punt and would have ranked 14th in the FCS statistical rankings. Kilcullen had 11 punts of at least 50 yards with a long of 64 yards against Illinois State. His backup entering fall camp is Weston Gray.

Return Specialists The Wildcats lost their top punt return specialist and top two kickoff return men from 2013, which means several players will be given the chance to earn those jobs in 2014. Junior Cade Stone will get the first crack at the punt return job. Stone returned four punts for 45 yards last season with a long of 33 yards against Concordia (Ala.). He also had three kickoff returns for 84 yards, and as a freshman in 2012 he returned a kickoff 92 yards for a score against Eastern New Mexico. Stone and Monte Green-Avery will enter fall camp as the kickoff return specialists.

Deep Snapper / Holder The Wildcats added junior college transfer Hayden Brodowsky to be the deep snapper and Collums believes he could be one of the best in the league. Parker McKenzie is slated to be the holder for field goals and PATs.

he 2014 season will mark Ken Collums’ third season as the 19th head football coach in ACU history.

In his first season as the head coach (2012), he led the Wildcats to a 7-4 record in their final season as a member of NCAA Division II and the Lone Star Conference.

Last year in ACU’s first season at the NCAA Division I FCS level, Collums’ offense was one of the nation’s most prolific. While he gave up play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Nathan Young in 2013, Collums still had an impact on the design and

implementation of game plans and play calls each week.

ACU’s 501 points scored were the fourth-most in a season in program history behind 2007 (639 points), 2008 (628 points) and 2010 (520 points). The Wildcats’ 84 points scored against Concordia (Ala.) in the season-opener are the second-most points scored in a game in program history behind the 93 scored on Nov. 22, 2008, in ACU’s 93-68 NCAA Division II

playoff win over West Texas A&M.The Wildcats scored at least 60 points in four games

during the season, hit the 50-point mark in one other game and the 40-point mark in another. The Wildcats posted a plus-17 turnover margin, one of the top marks in all of NCAA Division I football. And for the fifth time since 2007, the Wildcats posted at least 5,300 yards of total offense as ACU finished with 5,359 total yards for an average of 487.2 yards per game.

As the quarterbacks coach, Collums continued to display his mastery over the position as he led senior starter John David Baker to one of the greatest seasons by a quarterback in ACU history.

Baker finished his only season as the Wildcats’ starter with 3,376 passing yards in 2013, which is the fourth-best single-season total in school history. His 247 completions are the fourth-most in a season in ACU history, and his 369 attempts are tied for the 10th-most in a season. His 35 touchdowns are the fourth-most in a season in ACU history, and his 35-to-5 touchdown-to-interception ratio is the second-best in program history behind the 38:3 ratio posted by Mitchell Gale in 2010.

His 3,632 yards of total offense are the fourth-most in a season in ACU history, as are the 468 total offensive plays he took part in during the season. Baker posted two of the top eight single-game yardage totals in ACU history in 2013. His 485-yard effort in the season finale at Prairie View A&M is the third-best single-game total in program history, while his 428-yard performance against New Mexico State is the eighth-best single-game performance in program history.

Baker accounted for five touchdowns against Prairie View A&M (four passing and one rushing) to give him 40 touchdowns accounted for in 2013 (35 passing and five rushing), which is a new single-season school record. Baker set a school record in the season-opener with seven touchdown passes against Concordia, breaking the old record of six set originally by Clint Longley in 1973 and later tied by Billy Malone in 2006 and then again in 2008.

And in the Wildcats’ 60-17 win over McMurry on Sept. 7, Baker ran for 102 yards and a touchdown to become the first Wildcat quarterback since Nov. 20, 1965, when Jacky Roland ran for 119 yards and one score on nine carries against Angelo State.

Collums – the FootballScoop.com D2 Coordinator of the Year in 2010 – served as the offensive coordinator at ACU from 2005-11, directing some of the most excitingand dominant offensive units in NCAA Division II history.

Collums’ two starting quarterbacks from 2005-12 – Billy Malone (2005-08) and Mitchell Gale (2009-12) – are two of the most productive quarterbacks in both

ACUCOACHESACU and NCAA Division II history. The pair combined to throw for 24,121 yards (12,012 for Malone and 12,109 for Gale), and Gale left ACU as the all-time leader in yards, completions and attempts in ACU and LSC history, while Malone is the LSC and ACU career leader in touchdown passes.

When Gale topped the 12,000-yard mark in 2012, it made ACU just the fourth program in NCAA collegiate football history to have back-to-back starting quarterbacks throw for more than 12,000 career yards as ACU joined Hawaii (Timmy Chang and Cole Brennan), Houston (Kevin Kolb and Case Keenum) and Louisiana Tech (Tim Rattay and Luke McCown) on the short list.

During their seven seasons with Collums as the offensive coordinator, the Wildcats averaged 468.4 yards of offense and 39 points per game, while achieving near perfect balance in run-pass play selection. In the 82 games the Wildcats played from 2005-11, they ran the ball 2,874 times and threw it 2,857 times while gaining 38,412 yards in those games.

Since he re-joined the ACU coaching staff prior to the 2005 season, Collums’ offenses have ranked among the best in the nation. The Wildcats have ranked in the top seven in NCAA Division II football in total offense five times in the last eight years, including first in 2008, second in 2007, third in 2011 and fourth in 2006. The pass offense has ranked third twice and sixth twice, and the rushing offense has ranked as high as ninth in the nation (2008).

The Wildcats’ scoring offense under Collums has ranked first in both 2007 and 2008 (when ACU scored a combined 1,267 points in 25 games), second in 2010 and sixth in 2006. Under Collums, “ball security” became one of the catch phrases surrounding the program, and the Wildcats turned the ball over only 122 times from 2005-11, including just eight times in 2010 and nine in 2006.

In his 82 games as the Wildcats’ offensive coordinator, ACU scored between 30 and 39 points in 18 games, between 40-49 points 22 times, between 50-59 points 14 times, between 60-69 points three times, 70-79 points twice and hit 93 in a 2008 NCAA Division II playoff game against West Texas A&M.

In 2007 and 208, Collums called the plays for one of the greatest offensive units in the history of college football. Under his guidance, ACU scored 1,267 points (50.7 ppg) and racked up 13,772 yards of total offense (550.9 ypg) in the 25 games covering those two seasons and ACU went 21-4 in those games, won the Lone Star Conference championship in 2008 and saw Bernard Scott win the Harlon Hill Award as the top player in NCAA Division II football and Sam Collins win the Gene Upshaw Award as the top lineman in NCAA Division II football.

In the greatest offensive game in LSC and ACU history, Collums led ACU to 93 points in a 93-68 win over West Texas A&M in the second round of the 2008 NCAA Division II playoffs. ACU posted a school-record 810 yards of total offense and scored touchdowns on 13 of 15 possessions on their way to a remarkable 25-point win over the Buffaloes. ACU’s offense set 29 NCAA Division II single-game, NCAA Division II playoff single-game, LSC and ACU records in the record-setting rout.

In 2007, ACU became the first program in the history of NCAA football to boast a 3,500-yard passer (Billy Malone), 2,000-yard rusher (Bernard Scott) and two 1,000-yard receivers (Johnny Knox and Jerale Badon) in the same season. In fact, ACU’s offense in 2008 set or tied or was part of 78 NCAA, LSC or

Wildcat single-game, season or career records.“When I look back at our offense over the last several years,

the No. 1 thing I’m proud of is our consistency,” Collums said. “I tell our guys all the time that it doesn’t matter what we do – whether we’re throwing it or running it – we have to protect the ball. And at times over those seven years we have been the best at protecting the ball. And that comes from total buy-in from players, and that makes me proud because that lets me know that they’re buying into what we’re telling them.”

While coaching at Central Arkansas, Collums led the Bears to some of the greatest offensive seasons in school history.

Collums coached an offensive attack that averaged 300 yards passing per game in three of his last four seasons at UCA. The Bears were the nation’s top passing team in 2001, averaging 373 yards per game. UCA finished in the top 10 in total offense in four of the last six seasons.

In 2002 – Collums’ first year as offensive coordinator – the Bears were No. 8 nationally in points per game (37.5), No. 3 in passing yards per game (310.5) and No. 9 in total offense (446 yards per game). In 2004, UCA featured a balanced attack that racked up 38 points per game (No. 14), 477.7 yards per game (No. 6), 269 passing yards per game (No. 19) and 208.5 rushing yards per game (No. 26).

As a freshman at Central Arkansas, Collums led the Bears |to the 1991 NAIA national championship. In four seasons as the starting quarterback, he directed his team to a combined record of 30-8-3. Collums graduated from Central Arkansas in 1995 with a B.S. in kinesiology. He received his master’s A native of Vernon, Collums played for the Vernon Lions of former coach Leo Brittain, leading his team to a 29-2-1 record in his final two seasons as the starting quarterback. Collums led Vernon to the Class 3A state title in 1990.

He and his wife, Robyn, have two children, a daughter, Anna, and a son, Layne. n

#LIVEPURPLE

The one thing people must know about ACU football is that if you are looking for only football, you’re in the wrong place. ACU helped me find my passion, and gave me the security and even permission to chase it, whereas before I didn’t really have a vision for what I wanted to do with my life. ACU made me ask questions about manhood that nobody else was asking, and instead of handing me the answers, the coaches made me find them on my own and build my own biblical foundation. Furthermore, it has given me a passion to train up more godly men.”

– Kevin Washington, linebacker (2009-10)

First, ACU is the true definition of a Christian university. In my five years at ACU, I saw the university give guys second chances. Second chances at life, second chances to live out a dream, second chances at success and second chances at becoming a real man. I love that at ACU the professors know your name, and the coaches know your parents. Each coach genuinely cares about you getting your degree, and will pop up in your class to make sure you are there. The coaching staff will talk to you about anything you want to talk about and no judgment will be passed on you. ACU is different from other programs because it is truly a family, not just a program built off the foundation of doing things right. The football coaches at ACU are pouring themselves into young men, and developing not only great football players but great men.”

– Jonathan Ferguson, wide receiver (2004-08)

Anyone thinking about coming to play for ACU has to be willing to change. If you don’t believe in changing or growing while at the same time playing high-intensity football, then you better not come here because these coaches will not tolerate an individual who has set goals apart from the team’s. But if you believe in changing, then the transformation will happen and down the road you will love what the Lord has done for you through ACU, and you will be in my shoes, advising the next recruiting class about the experience they can expect as a Wildcat.”

– Obinna Ononobi, linebacker (2006-10)

The one thing people need to know is that if you come here, and your heart is receptive, you are going to leave a better person and a better player. There is plenty of focus on football, as there should be, but there is perhaps even more focus on the man, husband and father you will be one day. Life is about the relationships you have and the positivity you spread, and these are the things you will learn while also excelling on the football field and in the classroom.”

– Ben Gibbs, tight end (2009-11)

We’ve had some of the best players in the country – regardless of NCAA affiliation – come through our program over the last seven or eight seasons, and that shows in what we’ve been able to produce. We’ve had a Harlon Hill Trophy winner, a 93-point game, high-scoring offense, back-to-back quarterbacks with 12,000 passing yards, and a lot of wins. Some of the most exciting teams in the nation have been assembled here at ACU and we plan to keep that going.”

– ACU head football coach Ken Collums

ACU Assistant CoachesDARIAN DULINDefensive Coordinator / Defensive Backs

Darian Dulin will be in his third season as the Wildcats’ defensive coordinator / defensive backs coach in 2014.

Last season – ACU’s first at the NCAA Division I FCS level – the Wildcat defense finished the season with 29 takeaways

(14 interceptions and 15 fumble recoveries), one of the top takeaway numbers in NCAA Division I football.

In 2012, Dulin’s unit led the Lone Star Conference in interceptions with 12, was second in the league in scoring defense (21.5 points per game), and was fourth in the league in scoring defense and sacks with 26. The Wildcats led the league in fewest points allowed (236) in 11 games.

He coached senior safety L.B. Suggs, who was voted the LSC Defensive Back of the Year and was a first team all-LSC selection, as well as first team all-LSC cornerback Steven Ford.

Before joining the ACU coaching staff, Dulin was the head coach at Coffeyville Junior College from 2008-11, directing the Red Ravens to a 22-19 record. Coffeyville was 6-5 in 2011 and lost to Hutchinson Junior College in the National Junior College Athletics Association Region VI semifinals.

Dulin, who was the defensive coordinator at Butler Community College in 2004, returned to the Tarleton staff in 2005 after four years in Stephenville prior to his one-year hiatus.

In 2006, the Tarleton defense ranked second in the Lone Star Conference in scoring defense, allowing just 18.1 points per game. Tarleton was the number one rushing defense, allowing just 90.5 yards per game. In 2005, Tarleton was No. 2 in scoring defense and No. 1 in pass defense efficiency.

In 2004, his defense finished the regular season No. 1 in the Jayhawk Conference for total defense. Butler’s defense also led the NJCAA in scoring defense, sacks and passing efficiency defense.

Before leaving for his one season at Butler, Dulin coached the defensive backs and secondary at Tarleton from 2000-2003.

A former Academic All-American at both the junior and senior college levels, Dulin went to Tarleton after serving two years at Sam Houston State University, first as a defensive assistant and then as secondary coach.

Dulin and his wife, Tiffany, have two children: Brooke and Declan.

NATHAN YOUNGOffensive Coordinator / Running Backs

The 2014 season will mark Nathan Young’s seventh season on the staff as an assistant coach and his second as the Wildcats’ offensive coordinator. He also coaches the team’s running backs after four seasons in charge of ACU’s offensive line.

Young was a four-year letterman at ACU (2004-07), earning all-America honors as an offensive lineman.

Last season – ACU’s first at the NCAA Division I FCS level – the Wildcats put one of the nation’s top offensive units on the field.

ACU’s 501 points scored were the fourth-most in a season

in program history behind 2007 (639 points), 2008 (628 points) and 2010 (520 points). The Wildcats’ 84 points scored against Concordia (Ala.) in the season-opener are the second-most points scored in a game in program history behind the 93 scored on Nov. 22, 2008, in ACU’s 93-68 NCAA Division II playoff win over West Texas A&M.

The Wildcats scored at least 60 points in four games during the season, hit the 50-point mark in one other game and the 40-point mark in another. The Wildcats posted a plus-17 turnover margin, one of the top marks in all of NCAA Division I football. And for the fifth time since 2007, the Wildcats posted at least 5,300 yards of total offense as ACU finished with 5,359 total yards for an average of 487.2 yards per game.

As the running backs coach, Young coached Charcandrick West to one of the great careers in ACU history. West finished his quietly productive career as the only player in ACU football history to finish with at least 2,000 rushing yards, 1,000 receiving yards and 750 kickoff return yards in a career. West finished with 2,058 rushing yards (10th on ACU’s career list), 1,007 receiving y adds and 758 kickoff return yards (none in 2013).

His 3,823 career all-purpose yards are fifth on ACU’s all-time list. West finished his career with 35 touchdowns(fourth on the all-time touchdown list) and 210 career points scored. He is sixth on ACU’s career points list. West finished his career with seven 100-yard rushing games, including four in 2013.

In 2011, the Wildcats’ offensive line led an offense that ranked in the top five in the nation in both total offense and passing offense. The line featured first team all-Lone Star Conference performers in center Matt Webber and left tackle Neal Tivis, as well as second team performer Josh Perez and honorable mention selections Blake Spears and Jerod Harrell.

In 2010 the Wildcats’ offensive line led an offense that finished second in the nation in scoring offense, seventh in total offense and ninth in passing offense. The line paved the way for sophomore quarterback Mitchell Gale to throw a single-season school record 38 touchdowns and become one of eight national finalists for the Harlon Hill Trophy, given annually to the top player in NCAA Division II football.

Also, senior guard Royland Tubbs was voted the co-Offensive Lineman of the Year in the Lone Star Conference South Division, and three-year starter at right tackle, Trevis Turner, signed a free-agent contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers in late July.

In 2008, the Wildcats’ offensive line allowed just eight sacks in 12 games and finished second in the nation in sacks allowed per game (0.67). The ACU offensive line also paved the way for running back Bernard Scott to run for 2,156 yards on his way to winning the Harlon Hill. Young also coached his former teammate, Sam Collins, who won the Gene Upshaw Award as the top lineman in NCAA Division II and the Dave Rimington Award as the top center in NCAA Division II.

Collins, Joseph Thompson and Tony Washington each earned first team all-Lone Star Conference South Division honors and were all named to an all-America team. Underclassmen Royland Tubbs and Trevis Turner each earned all-conference accolades.

After his senior season (2007), Young was awarded an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship, and he was an ESPN The Magazine first team academic all-America selection. Young was a two-time



LSC South Division Offensive Lineman of the Year (2006 and 2007) and

NCAA all-region and first team NCAA Division II

all-America.Young was a two-time LSC Offensive Lineman of the Year

(2006 and 2007), and was named first team all-LSC South Division, NCAA all-Southwest Region and NCAA Division II all-America. He was the key cog on an offensive line that allowed the fewest sacks in NCAA Division II (eight) and the fewest sacks per game (0.62) in the division.

The Wildcats’ offensive line also opened holes for running back Bernard Scott, who set two NCAA Division II single-season records (234 points scored and 39 touchdowns scored) while rushing for an LSC and ACU single-season record 2,165 yards. Scott went on to finish as the runner-up for the Harlon Hill Trophy.

Following his senior season, Young was selected to play in the Valero Cactus Bowl in Kingsville, an all-star showcase for NCAA Division II seniors prior to the NFL Draft. Young started 42 games in four years as a Wildcat and helped turn the program from an LSC also-ran to a back-to-back NCAA playoff team.

Young graduated from ACU in May 2008 with a Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry. Young was a three-year starter on the offensive line at Plainview High School. He was team captain, first team all-district and Class 4A honorable mention all-state in 2001 and 2002.

He was first team academic all-state in 2001 and 2002. Young also was named to the Amarillo Globe-News’ Super Team in both 2001 and 2002, and he was named to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal’s all-South Plains Team in 2002. He was an Avalanche-Journal top-10 recruit in 2003.

Young is married to former ACU women’s track and field athlete Alyson (David) Young and the couple have one child, a son, Slade.

SCOTT CAREYOffensive Line

Scott Carey is in his first season as the Wildcats’ offensive line coach after serving the previous three seasons as the running game coordinator / offensive line coach at Colorado School of Mines.

Carey served as the offensive line at CSM from 2002-05. He then went on to coach five seasons at Tarleton State (2006-10) where he served as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.

During his five seasons at Tarleton State, the Texans were 36-20, claimed a share of the 2009 Lone Star Conference title, earned an NCAA Division II playoff berth in 2009 and shared the LSC South Division title in 2006 and 2009.

Placekicker Garrett Lindholm nailed a division playoff record 64-yard field goal to tie the game as time expired, and Tarleton’s quarterback Scott Grantham scored from 20 yards out before punching in the two-point conversion for the victory in the second overtime period. Tarleton finished the season 10-3 and claimed a share of the LSC championship and the LSC South Division title. Tarleton advanced to the second round of the playoffs for the second time in the program’s history.

The 2012 version of the Orediggers finished 6-5 overall and 4-5 in the RMAC to finish fifth in the league’s standings. The squad spent the first four weeks of the season ranked in the AFCA Top-25 – rising to as high as No. 18 in the country. Carey’s offensive line paved the way for head coach Bob Stitt’s high-octane offense to average 455.7 yards and 39.3 points per game.

Carey, a four-year letterman for the Texans (1994-97), graduated from TSU with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and sports studies. After graduating from Tarleton State, Carey served as a graduate assistant at Northeastern State, Okla. (2000-02) while earning his master’s degree.

Carey joined the Colorado School of Mines staff in 2002 and helped the Orediggers go undefeated in the RMAC and win the league title and reach the NCAA Division II playoffs in 2004.

Last year – ACU’s first at the NCAA Division I FCS level – Gabriel posted four 100-yard receiving games to give him 12 for his career, which is tied for second-most in ACU history. Gabriel finished his career second in ACU history in catches (215), yards (3,027) and touchdown receptions (27). He is second in catches and yards behind Jerale Badon (235 for 3,311 yards) and is tied with Clyde Gates and Arthur Culpepper with 27 touchdown receptions, three behind all-time leader Johnny Knox (30 from 2007-08).

Cantu-Harkless touched the ball 396 times in his career (188 rushing attempts, 147 catches and 61 returns) and never lost a fumble. His 147 catches for seventh on ACU’s all-time receptions list, and his 1,945 career receiving yards are 11th on the Wildcats’ all-time list.

2013 Season review


2013SEASON


2013 Season In Review

little less than one year after the Wildcats’ 2013 football season ended, it’s still hard to wrap one’s head around all of the mind-boggling single-season and career statistics that several offensive players posted in leading the Wildcats to a 6-5 record in their first season as an NCAA Division I FCS program.

After the season-ending 65-45 win at Prairie View A&M on Nov. 16, 2013, Wildcat fans began to reflect on a season that began with a 3-0 start, hit a rough patch with three straight losses, rebounded with a couple of wins before back-to-back losses left ACU at 5-5 and staring at the possibility of the program’s first sub-.500 record since 2005.

But the Wildcats’ offense put together one of its best performances of the season in the win over the Panthers to allow the Wildcats to finish at 6-5 and post the program’s eighth straight winning season, tying a program record from 1938-48 (ACU didn’t play from 1943-45 because of World War II). The eight-year streak of winning seasons is the longest in consecutive years in program history.

Aside from the individual numbers, there were other great moments that stood out during the season:

• Senior quarterback John David Baker set an ACU single-game record for touchdown passes with seven in the first start of his career on Aug. 31 against Concordia.• The Wildcats scored the second-most points in a game in program history with an 84-6 win over Concordia in the season-opener.• Senior wide receiver Taylor Gabriel had nine catches for 160 yards and three touchdowns in the Wildcats’ 52-28 win over New Mexico Highlands on Sept. 14.• The Wildcats rallied from deficits of 14 and 11 points on Sept. 28 and put themselves in position to win against Tarleton State at Toyota Stadium in Frisco only to see the Texans score a touchdown in overtime to win the game, 41-34.• ACU played a game in the city limits of Houston for the first time in program history on Oct. 12 and the Wildcats wasted little time in putting their three-game losing streak behind them. ACU jumped out to a 41-12 halftime lead over future Southland Conference foe Houston Baptist and cruised home for a 69-12 win at BBVA Compass Stadium. Gabriel posted the best game of his career to that point with seven catches for 174 yards and three touchdowns, including an electrifying 71-yard catch and run for a touchdown just before halftime. • In their first game against an FBS program since a loss to Hawaii in 1980, the Wildcats gave New Mexico State all it wanted in a 34-29 loss in Las Cruces, N.M., on Oct. 26. ACU led 22-21 at halftime, but found itself trailing 34-22 with less than 30 seconds to play. But ACU scored on a 5-yard pass from Baker to Charcandrick West to cut the lead to 34-29 with 19 seconds left to play.

Then the craziest 19 seconds in ACU football history ensued. ACU recovered Thor Woerner’s onside kick to give the Wildcats a chance. But the Wildcats were hit with a personal foul penalty that pushed them back to their own 31-yard line.

A holding penalty on the first play pushed it back to the 21-yard line and left the Wildcats with only one play left. That was nearly all they needed. Baker heaved the ball as far as he could and it was tipped once by Darian Hogg to teammate Monte Green-Avery, who made the catch. Just as he was about to to be tackled he flipped back to his left where Gabriel caught it and sprinted down the sideline toward the end zone.

But he was pushed out of bounds at the 6-yard line by Trashaun Nixon, leaving the Wildcats six yards short of one of the greatest endings in college football history. Gabriel had a career night, setting the ACU record for catches in a game with 15 for a career-best 188 yards.• In the season-ending win over Prairie View A&M, Baker threw for 485 yards – the third-best single-game total in ACU history – and West ran for four touchdowns and a career-best 151 yards as the Wildcats won their first game as an NCAA Division I FCS program against an established FCS program. ACU (692 yards of total offense) and Prairie View (572 yards of total offense) combined to post 1,264 yards of offense and 110 points as two of the top offenses at the NCAA Division I FCS level moved up and down the field seemingly at will.

Here’s a look at the numbers ACU players posted during the 2013 season:

HISTORIC FIRST SEASON AT FCS LEVEL SHATTERS RECORD BOOK

A


TEAM

• The Wildcats’ six wins give them 70 wins during their current eight-year streak of winning seasons (2006-present).

His 10 touchdown receptions in 2013 tie his own mark in 2011, as well as that of Reggie McGowan (1986), Angel Alvarez (1993) and Cle Montgomery (1977) for the ninth-most in a season in program history.• His 31 career touchdowns are tied with Knox for the sixth-most in program history, and his 186 career points are tied with Knox for the ninth-most in program history.• Gabriel also finished his career with3,880 all-purpose yards, which is good for fourth on ACU’s all-time list.

DARRELL CANTU-HARKLESS, sr, Wide Receiver/Running Back

• The Wildcats’ “Mr. Versatility” during his four-year career, Cantu-Harkless finished third on ACU’s all-purpose yardage list with 4,432 yards behind only Bernard Scott (5,712 yards from 2007-08) and

Wilbert Montgomery (4,569 yards from 1973-76).

Offensively, he touched the ball 335 times in four seasons, averaging 9.2 yards of offensive per touch.



• Cantu-Harkless finished his career with six catches for 131 yards against Prairie View A&M, the fifth 100-yard receiving day of his career. He is the only player in ACU history to post as many as five 100-yard receiving games and also have one 100-yard rushing game.• His 147 catches for seventh on ACU’s all-time receptions list, and his 1,945 career receiving yards are 11th on the Wildcats’ all-time list.

CHARCANDRICK WEST, sr, Running Back

• West finished his quietly productive career as the only player in ACU football history to finish with at least 2,000 rushing yards, 1,000 receiving yards and 750 kickoff return yards in a career.• West finished with 2,058 rushing yards

2013SEASON

53



uarterback John David Baker threw for 322 yards and a school-record seven touchdowns as ACU opened its inaugural season as a member of NCAA Division I with an 84-6 romp over Concordia College at Shotwell Stadium.

Baker, a senior seeing the first significant action of his career after watching Mitchell Gale throw for more 12,000 yards the last four seasons, completed nine of 11 passes for three TDs in the first quarter as ACU built a 27-0 lead, then added three others in the second quarter. He completed 16 of 19 passes before half as the Wildcats rolled to a 61-0 advantage.

Baker’s seven TDs broke the ACU single-game record of seven held by Clint Longley (1973) and Billy Malone (2006 and 2008, both against West Texas A&M). For the night, Baker completed 17 of 20 passes and was not intercepted.

The 84 points were the second most in ACU history, behind a 93-68 win over West Texas A&M in the 2008 Division II playoffs, and in front of an 81-0 shutout of Daniel Baker College in 1920. The game was the Wildcats’ first as a Division I FCS independent. ACU begins football play in the Southland Conference in 2014.

Darian Hogg caught 10 passes for 208 yards and two TDs, Charcandrick West ran for 125 yards and a score, and senior Darrell Cantu-Harkless ran for 99 yards and two TDs. The Wildcats scored 12 consecutive TDs and intercepted Concordia quarterbacks five times.

After senior wide receiver Demarcus Thompson returned the opening kickoff 35 yards to the Hornets’ 40-yard line, ACU’s first drive was all West – three straight runs capped by his 21-yard scoring sprint. Freshman placekicker Nik Grau’s PAT put the Wildcats up 7-0 at the 13:41 mark. Baker hit sophomore tight end Jamie Walker for a 15-yard TD pass on the second possession to give ACU a 14-0 lead with 6:53 left in the quarter. He struck again on the next drive, turning a bad snap and busted play into a 30-yard TD pass to junior wide receiver Drew Peters, who eluded a tackle and slipped into the end zone to pad ACU’s lead to 21-0.

Baker’s third TD of the first quarter was a 6-yarder to a sliding Thompson in the right corner of the end zone. The PAT was not successful, but the Wildcats moved out to a 27-0 advantage as time expired in the opening quarter.

Corcordia’s first sustained drive of the game ended with an interception by senior linebacker Thor Woerner at the Wildcat 23-yard line. Baker was sacked on the first play following the turnover, but bounced back on the next play to hit wide receiver Darian Hogg in stride on an 88-yard TD pass-run. Grau’s PAT gave ACU a 34-0 lead with less than three minutes gone in the second quarter.

Baker’s fifth TD pass of the game was a 7-yard toss to Walker with 8:09 remaining, upping the ACU score to 41-0. He connected with Thompson again on a 34-yard scoring pass at the 4:29 mark to pad the Wildcat lead to 48-0. ACU’s sixth TD of the game was supplied by senior running back Darrel Cantu-Harkless, who ran three yards with 1:26 remaining to set a school record for most points scored in a first half. The old mark was 51 points scored Oct. 6, 2007, in a 58-7 rout of Northeastern State. Cantu-Harkless added a 54-yard scoring run with 44 seconds left, and Grau’s seventh PAT of the game pushed ACU’s lead to 61-0.

The ACU defense stifled the Hornets to complete the first-half dominance, holding Concordia to 88 yards and five first downs.

Meanwhile, the Wildcats rolled up 518 yards of offense and 21 first downs in scoring on all of its drives. Sophomore ACU cornerback Tyler Chapa intercepted quarterback Matthew Rowser’s first pass of the second half and returned it 31 yards for a TD with 43 seconds gone in the third quarter. Grau’s PAT made the score 68-0.

ACU’s advantage grew to 75-0 with three-and-a-half minutes gone in the third quarter when Baker threw his seventh TD pass of the game to Hogg, a 17-yarder. The Wildcat lead became 82-0 when Jeremiah Williamson ran 4 yards for another TD.

Concordia scored its first TD of the night when Cameron Mayfield hit David Hampton on a 21-yard play with 5:43 left in the third quarter. The PAT, however, was blocked and returned by Wildcat senior linebacker Jesse Harper for another two points that extended ACU’s lead to 84-6. n

Game 1 vs. ConcordiaBaker’s 7 TD passes breaks school record, leads Wildcats to season-opening 84-6 win

Q

enior running back Charcandrick West ran for 139 yards and four touchdowns and quarterback John David Baker’s deft passing and rushing skills powered ACU to a 60-17 win over crosstown rival McMurry University at Shotwell Stadium.

Baker became the first quarterback at ACU – traditionally a pass-happy small college football power – to run for more than 100 yards in a game since 1965. The senior ran 10 times for 102 yards and a touchdown and also threw for 212 yards and two TDs against McMurry. West had 198 all-purpose yards for the Wildcats, who improved to 2-0 on the season.

ACU had scoring bursts of 24 points in the second quarter and 28 points in the second half to blow open the game and hand McMurry its second straight opening-season loss. After not playing each other for 41 years, the Wildcats have won two straight over the War Hawks, including a 51-0 victory last season.

Both teams are playing independent schedules in 2013 as ACU (Division I Southland Conference) and McMurry (Division II Lone Star Conference) begin historic upgrades in their NCAA membership.

ACU held a comfortable 32-3 lead at halftime before the War Hawks made it slightly uncomfortable by scoring the first 14 points of the second half.

Paxon Grayer ran untouched around left end for a 29-yard score to cap an 81-yard touchdown drive, and on the ensuing kickoff, ACU sophomore Monte Green-Avery fumbled at the Wildcat 12, and a scramble for the ball ended with the War Hawks’ Jacob Perez recovering the ball in the end zone. The 14-point swing cut the Wildcat lead to 32-17 with less than three minutes expired in the third quarter.

But the Wildcats responded with 28 straight unanswered points to end the game, and both the offense and defense contributed to the run.

West scored his third TD of the night with a 34-yard, tackle-breaking sprint down the right sideline, diving into the end zone, pushing the Wildcats’ lead to 39-17 with a little more than seven minutes left in the quarter. After another ACU defensive stop, the Wildcats responded with a four-play, 54-yard drive that was capped by a 23-yard touchdown run from Baker to make it a 46-17 game.

Senior linebacker Thor Woerner recorded his second interception of the season on McMurry’s next drive, catching a tipped ball over the middle to give the ball right back to the offense. ACU converted the turnover into more points when West scored his fourth TD of the game, a 7-yard dash with 1:37 left in the quarter.

ACU tacked on another score with 8:45 left when backup quarterback Malcolm Ruben tossed a 6-yard TD pass to Noah. Grau’s PAT made the new – and eventual final – score 60-17.

The Wildcats and War Hawks traded punts to begin the game, but McMurry’s short (13-yard) kick gave ACU the ball at the War Hawk 44-yard line. Wildcat tight end Jamie Walker opening the scoring with his third TD pass of the season with 8:11 left in the first quarter, a 3-yarder from Baker.

McMurry marched back downfield, powered by a 22-yard pass from quarterback Brady Lambert to wide receiver Jeret Smith. However, ACU’s defense stiffened and McMurry settled for a partially blocked 23-yard field goal by Ian McCarthy at the 3:32 mark.

ACU responded with a nine-play, 70-yard drive, capped by a 14-yard sprint around left end by West, a senior, with 13:52 remaining. Freshman Nik Grau’s successful PAT put the Wildcats further ahead, 14-3.

West scored again with an 8-yard run at the 8:50 mark, but ACU surprised the War Hawks when linebacker Thor Woerner ran in the two-point conversion to extend his team’s lead to 22-3.

Grau built the lead to 25-3 with a 36-yard field goal with just under five minutes remaining in the half. On the ensuing drive, safety Justin Stewart forced a fumble by McMurry wide receiver David McHugh, and linebacker teammate Blake Rudd recovered at the ACU 43-yard line. Eight plays later, fullback Noah Cheshier caught a 1-yard TD pass from Baker, and Grau’s PAT put the Wildcats up 32-3 with 53 seconds left.

Baker completed 17 of 23 passes to 10 different receivers. West was his favorite target (four catches for 59 yards) and senior wide receiver Darian Hogg caught three for 54 yards. After two games, Baker has completed 34 of 43 passes for 534 yards and nine TDs in his first season as ACU’s starting quarterback after succeeding Mitchell Gale, who is a rookie for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. n

2013SEASON

55



enior wide receiver Taylor Gabriel had his biggest night of the young season Saturday night as he caught three touchdown passes – including a 75-yard touchdown pass from John David Baker – as Abilene Christian University rolled to a 52-28 win over New Mexico Highlands in a non-conference football game at Shotwell Stadium.

The win pushes the Wildcats – an NCAA Division I FCS independent in 2013 – to 3-0, while the NCAA Division II Cowboys fall to 1-1. ACU now hits the road for all but one of its remaining eight games this season.

ACU – the nation’s highest-scoring team through three games – scored touchdowns twice in the final 35 seconds of the first half and twice in the first three minutes of the second half to put away the Cowboys after a defensive struggle for most of the first two quarters. Baker completed 25 of 36 passes for 392 yards and five TDs, giving him 14 on the season. Baker hit Gabriel nine times for 160 yards and three touchdowns, including that 75-yarder late in the third quarter that made it 45-14 and really put the Cowboys away.

The 196 points by ACU set a school record for most scored in a three-game stretch, breaking the previous mark of 181 in 2008. Against the Cowboys, five turnovers – four fumbles and one interception – played big roles in dressing the Wildcat offense for success.

The teams were engaged in a 10-7 slugfest late in the first half when the Wildcats pieced together a nine-play, 80-yard drive that ended when Baker hit Darrell Cantu-Harkless with an 8-yard touchdown pass to make it 17-7 with 35 seconds left in the first half. Harkless caught the pass in the right flat and jitterbugged his way into the end zone for the score.

On the first play of the ensuing drive, Thor Woerner recovered a fumble that gave ACU possession at the NMHU 15-yard line. Two plays later, Gabriel’s sliding catch of a Baker pass into the end zone put ACU further ahead, 24-7, with nine seconds left.

ACU’s first drive of the second half was a five-play, 64-yarder capped by Charcandrick West’s 1-yard run at the 13:21 mark. Nik Grau’s PAT made the new score 31-7.

On the Cowboys’ next possession, ACU defensive lineman Nick Finney picked up a fumble forced by linebacker Blake Rudd at the Cowboy 18-yard line and rumbled into the end zone with just over two minutes gone in the third quarter.

The four straight Wildcat TDs were scored in a 6-minute span at mid-game.The Cowboys fought back with an 80-yard drive of their own midway through the quarter when Lewis found Harrison in the back of the end zone for an 18-yard TD pass. Zach Tapia’s successful PAT shortened ACU’s lead to 38-14.

But Baker answered for the Wildcats on their next play from scrimmage, connecting on a long pass to Gabriel on which the speedy wide receiver juked himself away from double coverage after the catch to complete a 75-yard scoring play. ACU’s lead grew again to 45-14. Gabriel and Baker struck again on ACU’s next drive, a nine-play, 75-yard effort capped when Gabriel snagged an eight-yard pass from his quarterback in the back of the end zone with 55 seconds left in the third quarter, giving his team a 52-14 advantage.

ACU linebacker Justin Stephens recovered a Cowboy fumble on the game’s second play, giving the Wildcats the ball at the NMHU

23-yard line. Grau’s 35-yard field goal put the Wildcats on the board with just over two minutes expired in the first quarter.

On the first play of ACU’s third drive, Hogg caught a long pass from Baker, juked his defender, tore away from an attempted shirttail tackle and sprinted into the end zone to complete an 87-yard scoring play with 6:36 left in the quarter. Grau’s PAT upped the Wildcat lead to 10-0.

The Cowboys got on the scoreboard when quarterback Lewis hit wide receiver Michael Harrison on a 14-yard TD pass over the middle on the last play of the first quarter, cutting ACU’s lead to 10-7. That set the stage for ACU’s scoring flurry in the late second quarter and early third quarter.

West led ACU in rushing with 65 yards on 14 carries. Hogg had four catches for 98 yards among nine Wildcats who caught Baker passes on the evening. n

2013SEASON

nthony Warrum’s 62-yard punt return on the final play of the first half Saturday night broke open a close game as Illinois State kept the nation’s top scoring offense under wraps as the Redbirds knocked off ACU, 31-17, at Hancock Stadium.

Illinois State led ACU 17-10 late in the half when the Wildcats couldn’t run the clock out in the first half. Warrum, a true freshman from Fishers, Ind., fielded the ball in the middle of the field and returned it 62 yards to paydirt, crossing the goal line as the clock ran out on the first half, giving the Redbirds a 24-10 lead at the break.

Two Illinois State penalties and a Wildcat sack of Blake Winkler forced the Redbirds to punt to ACU early in the second half. Although ACU couldn’t move the ball on its ensuing drive, it got it back at midfield with 6:41 left in the third quarter when safety Angel Lopez sacked Winkler again on fourth-and-2.

ACU then closed the gap to 24-17 when Darian Hogg caught his second TD of the night, an 8-yarder from John David Baker with 3:26 left in the quarter. The eight-play, 50-yard drive was powered by Darrell Cantu-Harkless’ big 17-yard reception on first down that put the Wildcats in the ISU red zone.

Abilene Christian forced Illinois State to a three-and-out on the next possession, with the Redbirds pinning ACU on its 10-yard line with a punt. The Wildcats’ returned the favor when freshman Austin Kilcullen’s 64-yard punt, along with an ISU penalty, forced the Redbirds back to their own 9-yard line to begin the fourth quarter.

ACU’s defense controlled the third quarter, limiting the Redbirds to just 20 yards of offense in the frame. But ISU reasserted itself to open the final quarter by marching 91 yards in 13 plays for a TD, capped by Keoshian’s 3-yard scoring run that took 6:53 off the clock and put the Redbirds further ahead, 31-17.

Stone returned the ensuing kickoff 41 yards to the ACU 44-yard line, but the Wildcats could not move into scoring position, turning the ball over on downs at the ISU 36-yard line with just under five minutes remaining. The Redbirds quieted ACU’s offense the rest of the way.

After leading the nation in points scored through three games (196) and ranking among the leaders in yards per game, ACU’s offense wasn’t consistent enough against the Redbirds. Playing in its first game against an NCAA Division I FCS opponent as an FCS independent, the Wildcats were limited to just 288 total yards (232 through the air) and 17 points as they fell to 3-1 on the season and saw their six-game winning streak snapped.

Illinois State, meanwhile, won for the first time this season, improving to 1-2 on the year. ACU will be back in action Saturday at 4 p.m. when it hosts former Lone Star Conference rival Tarleton State in a non-conference game at Toyota Stadium (former FC Dallas Stadium) in Frisco.

ACU started slow – 37 yards of total offense in the opening quarter – but gained confidence and momentum as the first half moved along, overcoming an early 10-0 deficit and a big difference in time of possession. ISU broke open the close game with two quick touchdowns to end the first half, including a punt-return score on the final play, but a renewed Wildcat defensive effort held the Redbirds off the scoreboard and to just 20 yards of offense in the third quarter.

Illinois State junior running back Collin Keoshian ran 10 yards for a touchdown on the game’s opening drive, which covered 56

yards in seven plays. Senior utility star Cantu-Harkless ran back the ensuing kickoff 47 yards for the Wildcats, but ACU couldn’t take advantage of its field position.

A 91-yard TD run by ISU sophomore running back Marshaun Copritch was nullified by a penalty on the Redbirds’ second possession, but ACU’s defense stiffened and forced ISU to punt.

The Wildcats answered with a drive to the ISU 8-yard line, but turned the ball over when wide receiver DeMarcus Thompson caught a short Baker pass and fumbled at the Redbirds’ 8-yard line.

Illinois State’s third drive stalled at the ACU, with the Redbirds settling for a 35-yard field goal by Nick Aussleker to up its lead to 10-0 with 14:01 left in the second quarter.

ACU wide receiver Taylor Gabriel’s end-around gained 25 yards to midfield to begin his team’s third drive. Runs by Baker, Charcandrick West and Cade Stone moved the Wildcats downfield, capped by Hogg’s 23-yard touchdown pass from Baker with 10:38 remaining in the first half. The 75-yard drive took just eight plays and pulled ACU closer, 10-7.

The Wildcats made the score 10-10 with 3:52 left in the half when freshman Nik Grau kicked his third field goal of the season, a 27-yarder. ACU relied on its air attack on the eight-play, 68-yard drive, with the key play a 35-yard Baker-to-Taylor pass on second down.

The Redbirds moved quickly back into Wildcat territory, covering 65 yards in six plays, capped by Winkler’s 19-yard pass to Camero Meredith on third-and-8. The score at the 1:48 mark put ISU back on top of the scoreboard, 17-10.

That set up the game-changing punt return, which gave the Redbirds the cushion they needed to hold off the Wildcats. n

ophomore running back Jerome Regal rushed for 251 yards and two touchdowns, including the deciding score in a second overtime, as Tarleton State University overcame four turnovers to upset longtime nemesis Abilene Christian 41-34 Saturday night in Toyota Stadium.

ACU rallied from a 14-0 second-quarter deficit, scoring twice in a 1:18 stretch early in the fourth quarter to take a 31-28 lead. The Texans moved 61 yards in 14 plays in the last 1:38 to give Blake Barnes a shot at a 29-yard field goal, which was good with four seconds remaining. The two teams traded field goals in the first overtime period before Regal scored his deciding TD on a 10-yard run. ACU moved the ball to the Tarleton State 14-yard line on its final possession game of the game, but John David Baker’s fourth-down pass on the final play of the game fell incomplete to give the Texans the win.

The Wildcats fell to 3-2 in their first season as a NCAA Division I FCS independent, while the Division II Texans moved to 3-0. The Tarleton win broke a three-year ACU winning streak in the series between former Lone Star Conference rivals that dates back to 1920.

Baker led the Wildcats in passing (24 of 42 for 209 yards) and rushing (17 for 87 yards and 1 TD). His first interception of the season was a costly one, resulting in a Tarleton pick-six that threatened to blow open the game late in the first quarter.

ACU trailed 14-0 early and 21-10 at the half before getting back into the game in the third quarter.

A 37-yard punt by Tarleton’s Issac Arellano pinned ACU on its 1-yard line to begin the second half. A 13-yard run by Baker, which began by evading the grasp of a Texan tackler in the end zone, moved the Wildcats out of danger and allowed them to punt the ball to the Texan 32-yard line. From there, Richardson forced a fumble by Regal on the next play, recovered by linebacker Blake Rudd, that put the Wildcats in business at the TSU 43 with 8:19 left.

Baker rescued the drive on fourth and 6 at the Texan 28-yard line, rushing 17 yards up the middle for a first down. He hit running back Charcandrick West on a pass over the middle to the 3-yard line, then bull-rushed behind his line to give ACU a first down at the 1. West ran the ball in from there, capping a 10-play, 3:41 drive to pull the Wildcats to within four, 21-17 with 6 minutes left in the quarter.

Tarleton answered once again with a time-consuming drive covering 69 yards in 10 plays, finished off when wide receiver Jeken Frye caught a 6-yard scoring pass from Fenske to move the Texan lead to 28-17.

The Texans lost their third fumble of the game when Fenske mishandled a handoff to Regal, and defensive Nick Richardson recovered for ACU at the Tarleton 42-yard line. Baker scrambled five yards for a key first down on second and 5 from the 15, then ran untouched up the middle for another 10 yards and a TD to draw his team again to within four, 28-24, with 12:57 left.

Wildcat defensive tackle Nick Finney gave ACU new life when he intercepted a short pass by Fenske at the Tarleton 18-yard-line with 12:30 left. A leaping catch on third and 10 by wide receiver DeMarcus Thompson at the Texan 14-yard line preserved the Wildcats’ short drive, and West ran up the middle for the go-ahead touchdown with 11:39 left. Grau’s PAT gave ACU a 31-28 lead.

After the two teams traded punts, Tarleton began at its 36 with 6:16 left. A 25-yard pass from Collin Strahan to Le’Nard Meyers moved the ball to the ACU 41, but Strahan was tackled for a loss on second down, a third-down pass fell incomplete, and Tarleton was forced to punt again. The Texans pinned ACU on its 10-yard line with 3:51 remaining.

ACU couldn’t advance past its 16, but a 57-yard punt by freshman Austin Kilcullen flipped the field on the Texans, giving them the ball at their 27 with 1:42 left. That’s where Tarleton began its dramatic drive to the Wildcat 12-yard line, where Barnes booted his game-tying 29-yard field goal with four seconds left.

On ACU’s first play of its first possession in overtime, a pass interference penalty gave the Wildcats the ball at the Texan 10. A run by Baker was stuffed for no gain on first down, and his short pass in the right flat to Gabriel moved the ball to the 1-yard-line. When Baker was stopped on second down for no gain, the Wildcats choose to attempt a field goal, which Grau kicked sucessfully from the 17 to put ACU ahead 34-31.

On Tarleton’s first possession, ACU stopped two running plays, then the Texans attempted their own field goal, a 34-yarder by Barnes that was good and tied the game at 34.

Tarleton got the ball to begin the second overtime. A pass to Tandy and three straight rushes by Regal moved the ball to the Wildcat 5-yard line, but a false-start penalty moved the ball back to the 10. On third and 9, Regal ran for his second TD of the night. Barnes’ PAT gave TSU a 41-34 lead.

The Texans stopped ACU on its possession, despite the Wildcats having two shots at the end zone on fourth and 9 from the Tarleton 14-yard line, thanks to a penalty. n

2013SEASON

eff Seybold ran for 115 yards and three touchdowns Saturday afternoon and the Pittsburg State University defense put the clamps on Abilene Christian University’s offense for most of the game as the Gorillas – the nation’s 10th-ranked NCAA Division II team – knocked off the Wildcats, 28-20, at Carnie Smith Stadium.

The Wildcats – playing their first season as an NCAA Division I FCS independent – drop to 3-3 after their third straight loss. The Gorillas improve to 5-0 with the win. The Wildcats have lost three straight games for the first time since they lost four straight games midway through the 2005 season.

ACU got a late first-half touchdown to cut the Pitt State lead to 17-14, but the Wildcats weren’t able to carry that momentum into the third quarter as the Gorillas outscored ACU 11-0 in the decisive 15 minutes.

Frazell ended the opening drive of the third quarter with a 29-yard field goal to make it 20-14. ACU went three-and-out on its next possession and gave the ball back to Pitt State at the Gorillas’ 27-yard line midway through the third quarter. Quarterback Anthony Abenoja completed a 62-yard pass to Austin Daniel on third-and-7 to get the ball down to the ACU 8-yard line. One play later, Seybold scored from eight yards and Abenoja ran in the 2-point conversion to make it a 28-14 game with 6:35 left in the third quarter.

ACU responded with a crisp drive that moved from its own 28-yard line to the Pitt State 17-yard line, thanks in part to a 49-yard pass from John David Baker to Taylor Gabriel. Four plays after the big pass to Gabriel, Baker was picked off at the 3-yard line by DeVante Bausby, only his second interception of the season.

The Wildcats got the ball back on its own 20-yard line with 11:31 left in the game and put together a scoring drive, although it was an 18-play, 80-yard drive that took nine minutes off the clock. ACU converted two fourth-down plays to keep the drive alive. Baker capped the drive with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Darrell Cantu-Harkless to make it 28-20 with 2:31 to play. ACU couldn’t convert the PAT, leaving the Wildcats down eight points.

The Gorillas recovered the onside kick and ran two plays before inexplicably throwing an incomplete pass on third down with ACU out of timeouts. The Wildcats got the ball back at its own 2-yard line with 1:31 to play and moved out to its 47-yard line after passes of 16 yards to Darian Hogg and 20 yards to DeMarcus Thompson, but Baker was sacked and fumbled on ACU’s final offensive play, turning the ball back over to PSU.

ACU finished with just 270 yards of total offense and a mere 10 yards on the ground, and Baker was sacked four times and under constant pressure throughout much of the game. He finished 25 of 42 for 260 yards and two touchdowns to give him 19 touchdown passes on the season.

The Wildcats got on the board first when sophomore cornerback Tyler Chapa picked off Abenoja and returned the ball 32 yards for

a touchdown – his second pick-six of the season – to give ACU a 7-0 lead with 8:52 left in the first quarter.

The Gorillas answered, however, with a 10-play, 61-yard drive that took 4:59 off the clock and ended with a 3-yard touchdown run by Seybold, tying the game at 7-7 with 3:51 left in the quarter.

Pitt State pushed its lead to 17-7 late in the first half with a pair of

scoring drives. Connor Frazell capped a 12-play, 77-yard drive with a 28-yard field at the 9:46 mark of the second quarter to make it 10-7.

The Wildcats were then forced to start a drive at their own five, and on a third-and-short, Baker was sacked at the 1-yard-line, forcing Austin Kilcullen to punt from the back of his own end zone. John Brown returned the ball to the 19-yard-line, but it was moved back to the 34-yard-line after a personal foul penalty on the Gorillas’ Dino Teague.

But the penalty didn’t hurt the Gorillas as Seybold carried the ball twice, once for 27 yards and then again for seven yards and a touchdown to make it 17-7 with 4:21 left in the first half.

The ACU offense finally put together a drive to end the first half as Baker directed the Wildcats on an 11-play, 74-yard drive that took 4:10 off the clock. He hit Noah Cheshier with a big third-down pass that kept the drive alive, and also hit Taylor Gabriel for 20 yards down to the 3-yard line. Two plays later he hit Gabriel for a 3-yard touchdown pass that cut the PSU lead to 17-14 with 11 seconds left in the first half.

Gabriel finished the game with 10 catches for 117 yards as he moved into second place on the all-time receptions list with 173 as he passed Arthur Culpepper, who caught 166 passes from 1983-86. n

bilene Christian University senior wide receiver Taylor Gabriel had 174 receiving yards and three touchdowns

Saturday on a record-setting night for the Wildcats as they whipped future Southland Conference rival Houston Baptist, 69-12, at BBVA Compass Stadium.

The win snaps ACU’s three-game losing streak as the Wildcats improve to 4-3 overall. The Huskies, meanwhile, fall to 2-2 as they saw their two-game winning streak come to an end. With losses to Sam Houston State and ACU on the season, HBU has lost to two future Southland Conference opponents by a combined score of 143-12.

With ACU already leading by a margin of 34-12 late in the first half when the Wildcat defense forced a Houston Baptist punt. The Wildcats took over possession at their own 29-yard line with about 50 seconds left in the first half and that’s when Gabriel struck with one of the great catch-and-runs in recent ACU history.

John David Baker hit Gabriel over the middle and he slammed on the brakes around the 40-yard-line and reversed field to the left. He broke around two would-be tacklers and moved down the far sideline. At the 5-yard-line he dove into the end zone to give the Wildcats a 41-12 lead at halftime.

Houston Baptist turned the ball over on the first play of the third quarter after Nick Richardson forced a Larry Day that was scooped up by Keith Barnett and returned to the HBU 34-yard-line. Five plays later, Cade Stone scored on a 5-yard touchdown run to make it 48-12. After another HBU punt, Gabriel capped another ACU drive with a 20-yard touchdown catch from Baker to make it 55-12 with 7:59 left in the third quarter.

Adrian Duncan finished off the scoring with a 7-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter and a 2-yard scoring with 8:15 left in the game.

Gabriel’s 174-yard night is his 11th career 100-yard receiving game only two off the ACU career record of 13 set by Clyde Gates (2007-10), and that 174 yards are the most single-game receiving yards in his career, breaking his previous mark of 160 set earlier this year against New Mexico Highlands.

Gabriel now has 180 career catches (second all-time at ACU), 2,575 career receiving yards (third all-time) and 24 touchdowns (tied for fourth all-time).

Early on it was Darrell Cantu-Harkless who stole the show for the Wildcats as he ran for a pair of touchdowns, one from 14 yards out to cap ACU’s opening possession and the other a 1-yard run with 4:33 left in the quarter to make it a 14-3 game. Harkless finished the game with 62 yards rushing and 58 yards receiving as he joined former greats Bernard Scott and Wilbert Montgomery as the only three players in ACU history to record at least 1,000 career yards both rushing and receiving.

Baker finished the night 16 of 20 for 273 yards and four touchdowns as he directed the ACU offense to the seventh-highest single-game point total in ACU history. The Wildcats have now scored at least 50 points 20 times since the 2006 season. n

2013SEASON

ohn David Baker threw three touchdown passes and ran for another, and ACU’s defense turned back turnover-prone University of the Incarnate Word, 40-6 Saturday afternoon in Shotwell Stadium on Homecoming and Senior Day for the Wildcats.

ACU capitalized on five Cardinal turnovers – including four in the first half and a fumble by UIW on its first offensive play – to build a 20-6 lead after one quarter that grew to 30-6 by halftime. The Wildcats held Incarnate Word to 79 passing yards a week after limiting Houston Baptist University to 97 in a 69-12 win.

Abilene Christian moved to 5-3 on the season, while the Cardinals dropped to 3-4, both as new members of the Southland Conference but playing FCS independent schedules in 2013. ACU will close its season with three straight road games, starting next Saturday at FBS-member New Mexico State University.

UIW’s initial three turnovers came in the first quarter, beginning with its first play from scrimmage, when ACU defensive end Nick Richardson forced Cardinal runningback Junior Sessions to fumble on his team’s 21-yard line. Baker capped the short drive six plays later with a 5-yard scoring pass to Darrell Cantu-Harkless at the 11:01 mark. Freshman placekicker Nik Grau missed the PAT, breaking a string of 33-straight successful kicks.

The Cardinals bounced back on the ensuing drive when running back Broderick Reeves broke tackles raced 47 yards for a score at the 8:07 mark, although Jake Wilcox’s PAT was unsuccessful, leaving the teams knotted at 6-6.

ACU answered with an eight-play, 59-yard drive that ended when Chancandrick West scored his ninth touchdown of the season on a 5-yard run with 5:11 left in the quarter.

ACU strong safety Angel Lopez single-handedly stopped the Cardinals’ next two drives, intercepting freshman quarterback Trent Brittain’s passes, first at the Wildcat 26-yard-line and again three minutes later, giving his team the ball at the UIW 26-yard line after a 31-yard return and a UIW unsportsmanlike penalty.

Baker turned the second interception into more points for ACU, hitting junior tight end Jamie Walker over the middle for an 18-yard scoring pass on the first play of the second quarter. Grau’s successful PAT put his team up 20-6.

UIW used 6:43 of clock time on a 13-play, 61-yard drive on its next possession, but ACU’s defensive stiffened, forcing the Cardinals to turn the ball over on downs at the ACU 7-yard line with 8:07 left in the half.

Cantu-Harkless’ 42-yard run was the highlight of the Wildcats’ next drive, which was capped when Grau kicked his sixth field goal of the season, a 38-yarder with just over four minutes remaining, to put ACU up 23-6.

The turnover bug bit UIW again with 1:33 left when Jordan Hicks fumbled an Austin Kilcullen punt deep in Cardinal territory, and Wildcat cornerback Keith Barnett recovered at the 13-yard line. A penalty pushed the ball back to the UIW 23, but Baker connected in the corner of the end zone with Gabriel on a 17-yard scoring play that built the ACU lead to 30-6 just before halftime.

Grau added a 19-yard field goal with 30 seconds remaining at the end of an otherwise scoreless third quarter for both teams, increasing the Wildcat lead to 33-6.The Cardinals’ fifth turnover of the game– a fumble recovered by linebacker Jesse Harper deep in Wildcat

territory – was again capitalized on by ACU. Baker proceeded to lead the Wildcats on a 13-play, 88-yard drive, finishing it with a 6-yard TD run with 4:31 remaining. He preserved the drive on fourth down at the UIW 25, bouncing back from a sack to complete a 19-yard pass to West that set up the final scoring play. Ben

he ACU Wildcats needed a miracle to pull off a miracle. And unbelievably, they almost got it.

But instead of a miraculous win, the Wildcats suffered a heartbreaking 34-29 loss to New Mexico State on a cool night at Aggie Memorial Stadium.

The win for NMSU is the program’s first since Aug. 30, 2012, when the Aggies beat Sacramento State, 49-19, as the Aggies snapped an 18-game losing streak.

ACU, which is in its first season as NCAA Division I FCS independent, was playing its first FBS opponent since a 1980 game against Hawaii. The Wildcats haven’t beaten a team at college football’s highest level since a 1959 win over Texas-El Paso.

New Mexico State appeared to have put the game away with 2:32 to play when Maxwell Johnson’s 18-yard field goal gave the Aggies a 34-22 lead. The Wildcats, however, wouldn’t die as they moved 73 yards on 15 plays to a 5-yard touchdown pass from John David Baker to Charcandrick West on fourth down that made it 34-29 with 19 seconds to play.

ACU then recovered the onside kick, but the ball was moved back to its own 31-yard line after a personal foul penalty on Lynn Grady. After a hold on first down, the ball was moved back to the 21-yard line with nine seconds left in the game.

On the game’s final play, Baker rolled out to his right and heaved the ball as far as he could. Monte Green-Avery caught a tipped ball, spun around and was about to be dragged down around the 20-yard line when he flipped the ball to Taylor Gabriel, who had open field in front of him.

The senior from Mesquite – who set the ACU single-game record with 15 catches for a career-high 188 yards – sprinted down the sideline for what looked like it was going to be the game-winning touchdown. But just as it appeared that Gabriel would score, he was knocked out of bounds by Trashaun Nixon at the 6-yard line, leaving the Wildcats just short of a finish that would go down as the greatest in program history.

The Wildcats led 22-21 at halftime and going to the fourth quarter, but will look back at several plays in the third quarter that might have cost them a victory. After the ACU defense forced a three-and-out to start the second half, the offense moved crisply to the NMSU 26-yard line, thanks in large part to a 45-yard run by West.

But two false start penalties moved ACU from second-and-2 at the 27-yard line to third-and-13 at the 37. Baker threw incomplete on third down and then pooched a punt into the end zone to give NMSU the ball at the 20.

The teams exchanged punts three times before ACU took over at its own 23-yard line with 3:44 left in the quarter. On second-and-14 after a sack, Baker hit Gabriel over the middle for 19 yards and what would have been a first down. But Gabriel lost the ball and Anthony Edwards fell on it at the ACU 39 to give the Aggies some momentum.

They were able to move the ball down to the ACU 12-yard line before being pushed back by a holding call, and on the first play of the fourth quarter they took a 24-22 lead on Johnson’s 32-yard field goal.

After ACU went three-and-out on its next possession, NMSU put together an impressive 12-play, 87-yard touchdown drive that was capped by Germi Morrison’s 5-yard touchdown run to make it 31-22 with 7:41 to play.

The Wildcats went three-and-out again, and again the Aggies drove the field, going 45 yards on eight plays before being stopped at the 1-yard line. That set up Johnson’s field goal with 2:32 to play to make it 34-22 and set off the game-ending fireworks.

NMSU scored first when Morrison capped a 13-play, 80-yard drive with an 8-yard touchdown run at the 8:02 mark of the first quarter. ACU responded with an 11-play, 80-yard drive that culminated in a Nik Grau 20-yard field goal to make it 7-3 with 3:41 to play in the quarter.

With 10:17 left in the first half, Andrew McDonald hit Adam Shapiro with a 6-yard scoring pass and the Aggies pushed their lead out to 14-3. Trailing by 11 points and facing third-and-7, Baker made one of his best plays of the night when he scrambled out of trouble and picked up 18 yards and a first down.

He hit Taylor for 14 yard son the next play and then Baker ran for eight, West for nine Baker for nine and West for the last 10 as ACU made it 14-9 with 6:04 left in the half. Grau’s PAT was blocked and ACU trailed by five.

On NMSU’s second play after the touchdown, Justin Stephens picked off a McDonald pass to set up the ACU offense at the NMSU 37-yard line. ACU was into the end zone and the lead just five plays later as Baker hit Cantu-Harkless from 20 yards out on third-and-9 to make it 15-14. Grau’s PAT was tipped again and the Wildcats’ lead was one point.

NMSU responded with a nine-play, 69-yard touchdown drive that was capped when Shapiro hit Perris Scoggins with a 6-yard touchdown pass on a wide receiver reverse pass. The PAT was good and the Aggies’ lead was 21-15 with 52 seconds left in the first half.

But the Wildcats responded with a three-play, 65-yard drive that gave them the lead going to halftime. The kickoff by Brock Baca went out of bounds and on the first two plays, Baker completed passes of 14 yards and 43 yards to West to move the ball to the 8-yard line. Baker then hit Darian Hogg with a touchdown pass and Grau’s kick was good to give ACU a 22-21 lead at halftime. n

2013SEASON

hat the Abilene Christian Wildcats had done so well the entire year abandoned them at the worst possible time, when with 30 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Cardinal defensive end Michael Tate strip-sacked quarterback John David Baker to seal Incarnate Word’s first victory over the Wildcats Saturday at Benson Stadium, 34-31.

The Cardinals’ win was their first in five tries against the Wildcats, who won their previous meeting earlier this year during Homecoming at Shotwell Stadium, 40-6.

The Wildcats came into the game boasting a plus-19 turnover margin, but the red zone fumble by Baker as well as two untimely interceptions, led to Incarnate Word claiming one of their biggest wins in program history.

The Cardinals’ victory raised their season record to 6-4 and kept them undefeated at Benson Stadium (5-0).

ACU’s loss was its second straight to drop its record to 5-5. ACU will wrap up its 2013 season next Saturday at Prairie View A&M with hopes of recording its sixth straight winning season.

After Incarnate Word jumped out to a 21-14 halftime lead, the Wildcats charged back in the third quarter, outscoring the Cardinals 17-0 to take a 31-21 lead. However, freshman quarterback Trent Brittain refused to be rattled and led the Cardinals on two fourth-quarter touchdown drives, the latter coming with 1:59 left in the game.

On ACU’s final drive, the Wildcats quickly advanced the ball to midfield thanks to a 15-yard pass to Darian Hogg accompanied by a roughing the passer penalty. Then Baker hit senior receiver Taylor Gabriel on what was thought to be a 64-yard touchdown pass with a minute left. But the officials, who first signaled defensive holding, reversed their decision and brought the ball all the way back to the Incarnate Word 24-yard line.

A Cardinal sack pushed ACU back five yards, but on the following play Baker again connected with Hogg – this time for 20 yards to get the Wildcats inside the UIW 10. Baker then rushed up to the line to spike the ball with 33 seconds remaining, setting up a second-and-goal situation.

On the final play, however, Baker was grounded by Tate and Deion Williams covered the loose ball back at the Cardinals’ 16.

Baker finished the game with 279 yards on 19-of-27 passing and tossed a pair of touchdown passes to Gabriel, who had seven catches for 83 yards to surpass Clyde Gates for second all-time for ACU receiving yards (2,993). The senior out of Mesquite also threw his first career passing touchdown on a trick play by the Wildcats when he found senior running back Charcandrick West streaking down the sideline for a 50-yard TD.

West’s reception with 10:50 remaining in the third quarter gave the ACU its first lead of the game at 28-21. Near the end of the quarter, kicker Nik Grau booted a 34-yard field goal to push the Wildcat lead to 31-21.

Darrell Cantu-Harkless, another senior skill position player, added to his legacy as he totaled 161 all-purpose yards and scored a rushing touchdown with 4:52 left in the first half that tied the score a second time at 14-14. UIW then marched 72 yards over 12 plays, finishing with a two-yard TD pass from Brittain to Casey Jennings

that came with seven seconds remaining before halftime.Jennings grabbed a second touchdown pass from Brittain for 11

yards near the start of the fourth quarter that trimmed ACU’s lead to 31-27. The Cardinals then had their PAT attempt blocked by junior Damon Williams.

Hogg caught three passes for 94 yards, including a 59-yarder which would have been a 79-yard TD had it not been called back because he stepped out of bounds. Demarcus Thompson also had what looked to be a TD catch wiped off the board after the referees ruled he was out-of-bounds in the corner of the endzone.

Those calls eventually proved costly as the Cardinals defense went on to shut out ACU in the fourth quarter. n

wo of the best offensive units in college football lit up the scoreboard Saturday afternoon at Blackshear Field as Abilene Christian University outlasted Prairie View A&M, 65-45, as the Wildcats finished off the 2013 season by recording their eighth straight winning season.

ACU (692 yards of total offense) and Prairie View (572 yards of total offense) combined to post 1,264 yards of offense and 110 points as two of the top offenses at the NCAA Division I FCS level moved up and down the field seemingly at will. ACU entered the game as the 10th-highest scoring team in all of Division I football with 436 points (43.6 ppg) and Prairie View entered as the 15th-best FCS scoring offense in the country at 38 points per outing.

The Wildcats’ win – led by senior quarterback John David Baker’s 485 passing yards and senior running back Charcandrick West’s four rushing touchdowns and 155 yards on the ground – helped ACU finish its first season as an NCAA Division I FCS program at 6-5. The Wildcats haven’t endured a losing season since a 4-6 campaign in 2005.

The Wildcats never trailed as Baker got them on the board with a 1-yard touchdown run just 2:46 into the game. After Prairie View A&M got the game tied on a Greg Thurmond touchdown reception, West scored three straight touchdowns for the Wildcats on runs of 60, 2 and 3 yards to give ACU a 28-17 lead in the second quarter.

After the Panthers were able to cut the lead to 28-24 late in the first half, the Wildcats drove 78 yards on nine plays to a 13-yard touchdown pass from Baker to Demarcus Thompson to make it a 35-24 game at the half. The Wildcats scored on their second possession of the second half on a touchdown pass from Baker to Noah Cheshier to push the lead to 42-24. After Nik Grau’s 10th field goal of the season gave the Wildcats a 45-24 lead with 2:14 left in the third quarter, the Panthers weren’t able to get closer than 14 points the rest of the way.

Baker’s 485 passing yards are the third-most in a game in ACU football history, and he finished his only season as the Wildcats’ starter with 3,376 passing yards in 2013, which is the fourth-best single-season total in school history. Baker also accounted for five touchdowns Saturday (four passing and one rushing) to give him 40 touchdowns accounted for in 2013 (35 passing and five rushing), which is a new single-season school record.

West’s career-best 155 yards leave him 10th on ACU’s career rushing list with 2,062 yards, and his four touchdowns give him 35 for his career (fourth on the all-time touchdown list). His 210 career points are sixth on the all-time ACU list. n

The Southland Conference


ow in its sixth decade of service, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions.

Having commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence.

The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans.

In addition to its newest members, the Southland also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

An original Southland member from 1963-73, Abilene Christian rejoined the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, UIW and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14 million people, and six of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S.

All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian).

Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans) and Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), CBS Sports producer Lance Barrow (Abilene Christian), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Danieal Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls) and Kevin Mil-lar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), Ricardo Chavira (UIW) and Jesse Borrego (UIW), and the late NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum”

Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin). The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA champion-ships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball.

Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first six years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards.

The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s Toyota Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season.

Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2013, three Southland teams – Southeastern Louisiana, McNeese State and Sam Houston State – all qualified for the NCAA Division I Football Championship, and in 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston advanced to the national championship game. Also, in 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest. The conference has been represented in eight national championship games since the league joined the FCS (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 109 Division I playoff games in 32 years, winning 53 of the contests.

Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. The Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1964, and was designated as NCAA Division II in 1973 before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since.

During its tenure as a Division I and I-A conference, the Southland Conference initiated the startup of the Shreveport, La.-based Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests.

The Conference claims five national titles, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation).

Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II title in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 Division I-AA national championship.

McNeese State, which has made 15 appearances in the national playoffs, also played in the 1997 NCAA Division I Championship game, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title contest and has six playoff appearances, including 2009 and 2010. Sam Houston State has earned seven trips to the football, while Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times. Nicholls has participated three times in the playoffs, and Central Arkansas has made consecutive playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012. On five occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs.

The Southland has produced 172 first-team all-America football players during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level.

The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (206) in the National Football League draft. There have been 26 Southland players taken in the draft since 2000, including Southeastern Louisiana defensive back Robert Alford, who was picked as the first FCS player in the second round of the 2013 draft. There are over 20 former Southland players on NFL rosters heading into the 2014 season.

Southland Conference alums in the NFL include Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Chicago’s Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), who have each been in the league for the last 11 seasons. Other recent NFL additions from the Southland include Green Bay’s Kevin Hughes (Southeastern Louisiana), St. Louis’ Jabara Williams (Stephen F. Austin), Washington’s Devin Holland (McNeese State), Atlanta’s Marcus Jackson (Lamar), Cleveland’s Dominique Croom (Central Arkansas) and New Orleans’ Tim Flanders (Sam Houston State).

The Southland has seen former Nicholls State players win Super Bowl rings in recent seasons, as former Colonel Antonio Robinson was a member of the Green Bay Packers’ Super Bowl XLV champions. And, Nicholls-ex Lardarius Webb was a member of the Super Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens.

Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Mike Barber, Fred Barnett, Bubby Brister, Ray Brown, Roger Carr, Larry Centers, Bruce Collie, Jackie Harris, Buford Jordan, Tim McKyer, Kavika Pittman, Billy Ryckman, Rickey Sanders, Eugene Seale, Rafael Septien, Terrance Shaw, Leonard Smith, Marcus Spears, Pat Tilley and Marvin Upshaw. Both Dean and Smith are recent inductees to the College Football Hall of Fame.

The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman.

In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports.

Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the Southland’s 50 years. The league has sent four teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference.

In 2013-14, Stephen F. Austin set numerous Southland records, including marks for victories in a season (32) and consecutive wins overall (29 straight) and in Conference play (23 in a row), and playing as a 12th seed, knocked off fifth-seeded Virginia Commonwealth, 77-75, in the NCAA’s Second Round. In 2006, Northwestern State,

playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. The league also saw three of its men’s teams reach the postseason in 2012.

Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bob Marlin, Danny Kaspar, Mike McConathy, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led very successful teams in the Southland.

In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with former member Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2014, the Ladyjacks became the fifth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 950 wins.

In each of the last five seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2013, four women’s squads earned postseason berths. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 14 times, including each of the last eight years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper.

Baseball has emerged as a constant Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country. In 2011, 50 of the league’s 150 non-conference victories came against the Big 12, Conference USA, Sun Belt and SEC. Major leaguers such as Wade Miley, Paul Goldschmidt, Ben Sheets, Micah Hoffpauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the Southland.

In 2012, Southeastern Louisiana’s Stefan Lopez became the league’s second winner of the national Stopper of the Year Award, which is selected by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers. Sam Houston State’s Luke Prihoda won the award in 2007. Only the Big 12 has had more players win this award.

The Southland also fares well each year in the Major League Draft, but for the first time in conference history, two Southland players were selected in the first round of the 2013 draft. Stephen F. Austin shortstop Hunter Dozier was picked eighth by the Kansas City Royals making the Southland player and hitter of the year the league’s top draft pick in any sport. Later in the first round, the Texas Rangers selected Oral Roberts right-handed pitcher Alex Gonzalez, Southland pitcher of the year, with the 23rd overall pick. The Southland has had eight first-round picks in its history.

In 2013, Lamar mentor Jim Gilligan became the first Southland coach to reach 1,250 career victories, ranking him sixth-best in the NCAA among active Division I coaches and 14th all-time. He leads an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mark Johnson, Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, Tony Robichaux, Dave Van Horn and Jim Wells.

Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, beating nationally-ranked opponents every year since 1995, including McNeese State’s win at No. 1 Arizona State early in the 2012 season. In 2013, the league had six wins against ranked opponents, including wins by McNeese State at No. 7 Alabama and No. 8 Texas A&M. In NCAA tournament competition, the Southland has racked up 15 wins.

The Southland also has a proud history in volleyball with former member Texas-Arlington representing the conference numerous times in the NCAA tournament, including a run to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989.

Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national championships, including Northwestern



State’s Trecey Rew, who won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner, Charles Austin, and Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of 10 more All-Americans in 2012, the league continues to find national success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 66 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 158 different All-Americans, including 128 men and 30 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships.

Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and has 21 top ten PGA finishes since joining pro tour in 2007. Another Lamar alum, Shawn Stefani, had a pair of top seven finishes on the 2013 PGA tour. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas-Arlington – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past five seasons the Southland has sent 12 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010, one each in 2011 and 2012 and two in 2013. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968.

In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007.

In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005, while in men’s tennis Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played in the NCAA tournament six times in the last eight years.

The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports.

In women’s soccer, Stephen F. Austin midfielder Kylie Louw became the first player in conference history to earn All-America honors, when she earned third-team mention by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. A member of the South Africa Olympic team during the 2012 London Olympics, she also garnered first-team Academic All-America Honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America. Abilene Christian’s Brie Buschman was a first-team Academic All-American in 2013.

In women’s golf, the Southland sent two teams to 2012 NCAA regional play for the first time since the league added the sport in 2002. Lamar has a league-best five Southland championships during that span.

The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average.

The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, student-athletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A total of 856 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2013 spring semester, and total of 1,553 student-athletes earned a spot on the honor roll at the end of the fall and spring semesters during the 2012-13 academic year.

While successful on the fields and courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the

academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom.

During the last seven years, no other Division I conference has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference has. In fact, in 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR.

The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes. In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

* Signifies conference gameu Signifies Lone Star Conference crossover game! Homecoming

Unless marked, all home games were played in Abilene and all road games played in city where opponent is located.

Officially, the 1922 ACU-West Texas A&M game was forfeited in favor of ACU. However, three quarters of the game was played in Abilene with the WT captain calling his teammates off the field in a protest over a failure of the officials to call what the WT players considered to be interference with a receiver. ACU was lead 13-7 at the time.

Only four colleges and universities – including UCLA, Stanford and USC – have won more NCAA national team championships than the Wildcats. *For 2014-15 school year.


ared Mosley is entering his 11th year as the director of athletics after serving two years as the associate director of athletics for operations. He is responsible for the athletics budget, fundraising, facilities oversight, student-athlete development, athletics events, marketing and special projects.

Mosley was named the seventh director of athletics in ACU history in June 2004, and under his leadership (through 2012-13), the Wildcats won 10 NCAA Division II national championships, 20 Division II regional championships and 46 Lone Star Conference championships.

His greatest achievement to date has been to guide ACU athletics through the transition from Division II and the LSC to Division I affiliation and membership in the Southland Conference.

As part of the move to Division I status, Mosley negotiated a three-year deal with Adidas for the sports apparel company to be the official outfitter of ACU athletics. He is also the athletics department’s lead fund-raiser for the Vision in Action campaign, which is a $75 million initiative to build two new on-campus stadiums at ACU and three new science facilities.

In May 2008, Mosley won the All-American Football Foundation’s General Robert Neyland Award as the

Athletics Director of the Year for the NCAA Southwest Region. He also serves on the NCAA Division II Men’s National Tennis Committee and is on the National Association for Collegiate Directors of Athletics Executive Committee.

Under Mosley’s leadership, ACU continued to build on its athletics tradition as one of the most successful programs in Division II. The Wildcats finished in the top four of the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup in five of Mosley’s seven seasons as the director of athletics, and ninth the other two seasons.

ACU began a women’s soccer program in 2007-08 and had a successful inaugural season, finishing 8-11-1 overall and just missing the LSC Post-Season Tournament. In 2010, that team won its first conference title and advanced to the regional championship match.

Marketing and increasing the visibility of ACU athletics have been another focus during Mosley’s tenure. The Wildcats launched a new website (acusports.com) in August 2006 to capitalize on technology advancements and the opportunity to keep fans, alumni, donors and prospects more engaged through a more interactive Web experience.

ACU now offers Web streaming of athletics contests, online camp/event registration, email subscription updates and merchandise sales. Abilene Christian

also benefited from its televised football game against West Texas A&M in 2006 that was broadcast nationally on CSTV.

Mosley is one of the most decorated basketball players to play for ACU. He finished his career in 1999 as the 11th-leading scorer and eighth-leading rebounder in school history, and in his senior season (1998-99) he led the Wildcats to the Division II South Central Region championship game.

He earned several honors during his senior season, including first team GTE academic all-America, first team NCAA all-South Central Region by the NABC, second team all-region by Daktronics-CoSIDA, LSC South Division MVP and first team academic all-LSC. He also was awarded a $5,000 NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship.

Mosley, who graduated with a 3.88 GPA, was a three-time academic all-LSC pick, two-time all-LSC first team selection and all-tournament at the 1999 NCAA II region tournament.

He and his wife, Trish, have two sons (Jaden and Jaxon) and a daughter (Blair).

It includes four gymnasiums, a six-lane, Olympic-style lap pool and a leisure pool, bouldering wall, racquetball courts, exercise studios, an eighth-mile track, a Human Performance Lab, classrooms, and counseling and medical clinics.

Powell Fitness Center – Wildcat student-athletes are fortunate to train in the state-of-the-art Powell Fitness Center, which opened in 1993 and was renovated in the spring and summer of 2007, when the size of the facility doubled to more than 8,000 square feet. Included in the center are free weights, cable weights, hammer strength equipment, cardio exercise machines, and other equipment.

Teague Special Events Center – The Teague Special Events Center was dedicated in February 1999 and houses the football offices, locker room, training room facilities, and a large room with three indoor tennis courts. The football locker room, refurbished before the 2006 season with new flooring and lockers, also is in the Teague Center. The facility can seat up to 1,000 people for banquets, and has been the host to luncheons featuring former UCLA head basketball coach John Wooden and the late former PGA legend Byron Nelson.

Moody Coliseum – Moody Coliseum is in its 45th year of hosting basketball at ACU, with the first men’s game there on Feb. 27, 1968. The women’s team began playing in Moody in 1971. The coliseum seats 4,000 for basketball and volleyball.

Shotwell Stadium – The Wildcats began playing football at Shotwell Stadium in 1960, and the 2012 season will be their 53rd season in the facility, which is owned and operated by the Abilene Independent School District. The stadium has undergone some major renovation in the last several years, including the addition before the 2012 season of a SafePlay turf field. In July 2007, a new scoreboard with digital video capabilities was added to the north end of the stadium. New dressing facilities on the south end and new restrooms on the north end were added to the stadium prior to the 2005 season. The first nationally televised game in Shotwell was Aug. 27, 2009, when CBS College Sports broadcast a showdown the Wildcats hosted with Northwest Missouri State in each team’s season opener.

Crutcher Scott Field – When Abilene Christian made the decision to bring baseball back to campus in February 1990, the administration made a commitment to construct a first-class playing facility. What ACU built is one of the finest facilities in college baseball. The 4,000-seat, lighted Crutcher Scott Field is home to the Wildcats. Bleachers and lights were added before the 1992 season, and prior to the 1995 season the seating capacity was increased to 4,000, and the press box was added. The home clubhouse was added before the 1997 season. The dimensions of the field are 335 feet down the lines, 380 feet to the power alleys and 400 to center field.

Wells Field – Wells Field will serve as the Wildcats’ softball home for the 16th season in 2012. It was officially dedicated March 29, 1997, as A.E. “Poly” and Zieta Wells Field. The lighted stadium seats 400 fans with plans to add another 150-200 seats. A ground-level press box was added before the 2012 season.

Eager Tennis Center – ACU has one of the finest tennis facilities in NCAA Division I in the Eager Tennis Center. The facility features 10 courts, which have played host to numerous Lone Star Conference, NCAA Division II regional and high school tournaments. In August 2001, the university announced that a new pavilion would be named for the most successful tennis coach in school history and his wife. Construction on the Judi and Cecil Eager Tennis Pavilion began in Fall 2001 and was completed in time for the Fall 2002 season. Eager served as the ACU men’s and women’s tennis coach for 12 years (1977-83 and 1986-90). The pavilion has covered seating (approximately 175 seats, including some chairback seating) and is located west of the four championship courts and east of the Teague Special Events Center.

Elmer Gray Stadium – Elmer Gray Stadium has been a large part of track and field history in the United States. It’s where world-record-holders

Bobby Morrow, Earl Young, James Segrest, Bill Woodhouse and Billy Olson practiced and competed as members of legendary ACU track and field squads. It’s where coaches Oliver Jackson, Bill McClure, Don W. Hood and Wes Kittley performed their magic day in and day out. And it’s where celebrated U.S. athletes such as Wilma Rudolph, Michael Johnson and Antonio Pettigrew competed. Future NFL standout Michael Carter set the stadium record in the shot put as a high school standout at Dallas Carter and future NFL Hall of Famer Darrell Green ran the 100 meters at 10.08 in 1983.

ACU in the Southland Conference

hen ACU made the move from the Texas Conference to the Southland Conference in 1963, it did so as a founding member, along with Arkansas State University, Lamar University, The University of Texas-Arlington and Trinity University. ACU enjoyed great success in the league, most notably in men’s basketball, men’s track and field and cross country, and football. In 1972 – ACU’s last year in the league – the SLC was composed of ACU, Arkansas State, Lamar, Louisiana Tech University, Texas-Arlington, Trinity, and the University of Southwestern Louisiana.

ACU in the SLC record book

espite not being a member of the Southland Conference for almost four decades, Wildcats still appear in the league’s football, men’s basketball, cross country, and track and field record books.

Prior to the 2011 season, former ACU quarterback Jim Lindsey still ranked fifth in SLC history with 8,521 career passing yards and ninth in total offense with 8,385 yards. Lindsey was a three-time first team all-SLC quarterback, and at the end of the 1972 season, the most prolific passer in NCAA history. Prior to the 2011 season, former ACU wide receiver Pat Holder still ranked 10th in SLC history with 155 receptions. In football, six student-athletes who played for ACU during its SLC history were drafted into the NFL, 15 were named first team all-SLC and three were named

first team all-America.The ACU men’s basketball team won SLC

championships in 1964-65, 1965-66 and 1967-68. Former Wildcats John Ray Godfrey and

Ronnie Hearne are two of only 17 players in SLC history to be voted first team all-conference three times. Former Wildcat Andrew Prince still ranks third in SLC history in career rebounding average at 12.1 rebounds per game. ACU still holds the SLC

record for field goal percentage in a season (53.7 percent in 1964-65).

The ACU men’s cross country team won seven straight SLC titles from 1964-70, which

is still tied for the second-most titles in league history. The Wildcat men’s cross country team set the SLC record for lowest winning score at the league championship meet with 19 points in 1965. Four different Wildcats won the individual league championship between 1964 and 1970.

The Abilene Christian men’s track and field team won seven straight SLC team championships from 1964-70.

Its Adams Center for Teaching and Learning opened in 1992 in Brown Library, spurring opportunities for innovation, focus and leadership within the community of leaders and emerging leaders among ACU faculty members. The library’s main floor features the Learning Commons, which supports the creation of academic work in a warm, bright and inviting atmosphere. It features multiple computer stations set up for individual and group work; a Starbucks cafe; and the Writing Center.

In Fall 2008, ACU’s mobile-learning initiative made it the first university to provide an Apple iPhone or iPod touch to all incoming freshmen. All faculty and full-time undergraduate students were provided these mobile devices in Fall 2011, integrating technology and learning in and out of the classroom. Today, iPads are required of freshmen.

In March 2011, the AT&T Learning Studio, on the top floor of Brown Library, began providing a curricular laboratory to support student, faculty and staff experiments with new media tools. In Summer 2011, ACU’s K-12 Learning Institute began to help facilitate the training of primary and secondary teachers around the world in using new media and mobile technology for teaching and learning. It includes a prototype classroom overseen by two full-time professionals in ACU’s Department of Teacher Education. n

ACU

Athletics Excellence


THISISACU

he remarkable success of ACU Wildcat student-athletes through the years is a tribute to the student-athletes, the coaches and the tradition of winning permeating the program. ACU recruits its student-athletes for their academic and spiritual qualities, as well as their abilities in athletics.

ACU’s intercollegiate athletics program began in 1919 when the football and men’s basketball teams were started. Former director of athletics A.B. Morris served as the head football and head men’s basketball coach during his long tenure at ACU. Former football coach A.M. “Tonto” Coleman went on to serve as the commissioner of the famed Southeastern Conference, and former track and field mentor Oliver Jackson coached three-time Olympic gold medalist Bobby Morrow – still called by some the greatest sprinter who ever lived.

Wildcat student-athletes have been blessed by a wealth of some of the top coaches in collegiate athletics, including Bill McClure (track and field), Wally Bullington (football), Dee Nutt (men’s basketball), Burl McCoy (women’s basketball), Wes Kittley (track and field), Don W. Hood (track and field), Don D. Hood (track and field), Brek Horn

(volleyball), Vince Jarrett (men’s golf), Jon Murray (cross country and track and field), and Chris Thomsen (football). Current coaches such as Julie Goodenough (women’s basketball) and Hutton Jones (men’s and women’s tennis) are at the top of their profession.

No intercollegiate athletics program in the state of Texas – at any level – can claim as many national championships as ACU, which has won 64 team titles since 1952. Of them, 57 have come at the NCAA Division II level, the fifth-most NCAA national championships in history behind only UCLA, Stanford, USC and swimming powerhouse Kenyon College.

ACU’s 54 national titles in track and field are the most in one sport by any university in the country. The Wildcats won 160 Lone Star Conference championships from 1973-2013 and have enjoyed some remarkable championship winning streaks. The men’s track and field team won 18 straight LSC championships (27 overall), and the women’s track and field team won each of the first 20 LSC titles before its streak ended in 2004. The men’s cross country team saw its LSC championship streak ended in November 2011 at 20 straight.

ACU student-athletes also have been awarded some of their sports highest individual honors, the most recent in 2008 when running back Bernard

Wes Kittley (’81) and the Wildcat track and field program collected plenty of hardware during the 1990s. Before he left to become the head coach at Texas Tech University in 1997, Kittley’s teams won 29 NCAA Division II track and field championships, the second most in NCAA history.

T



Scott – now with the Cincinnati Bengals – won the Harlon Hill Trophy as the top player in NCAA Division II football. That same year, offensive center Sam Collins – now an ACU assistant football coach – won the Gene Upshaw Award as the top lineman in NCAA Division II.

In 2007, cross country standout Nicodemus Naimadu became the first athlete in NCAA history – male or female, any level – to win four consecutive individual national championships. In 2009, decathlete Camille Vandendriessche became the first athlete in NCAA history to win three straight individual national championships in the decathlon. One year later, Linda Brivule became the first female in NCAA Division II history to win the individual national championship in the javelin.

ACU’s internationally recognized track and field program has produced world-record holders, more than 20 Olympians, several hundred all-America performers and two Olympic gold medalists. In addition, the program was named the Texas Sports Dynasty of the Century by Texas Monthly magazine in November 1999.

Wildcat teams won 160 Lone Star Conference titles from 1973-2013, more than twice its closest competitor. Also, ACU has produced 32 NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship honorees since 1966.

The Wildcats also are heavily represented in Halls of Fame across the country, the most recent in 2014 when former track and field standout and 1960 Olympic gold medalist Earl Young was inducted into the Texas Track and Field Coaches’ Association Hall of Fame.

Bobby Morrow is in four different halls of fame: Drake Relays, U.S. Olympic, U.S. Track and Field and Texas Sports. Oliver Jackson is a member of the Texas Sports and U.S. Track Coaches halls of fame, and more than 50 other former Wildcats are recognized by other such organizations around the nation.

Abilene Christian was the only university in NCAA Division II to have been ranked in the top 15 in each of the first 16 Learfield Directors’ Cup final standings, including second in 1995-96, 1996-97, 1998-99, and 2005-06. The Wildcats finished in the top four in four other seasons.

When you add it all up, it’s no surprise we like to say that ACU is “Where Champions Are Made.” n

Mitchell Gale 2009-12

n 2012, senior quarterback Mitchell Gale became the all-time leading passer in Lone Star Conference and ACU history as he finished his career with 12,109 yards, passing former teammate Billy Malone (12,012 yards from 2005-08) atop both lists.

In the process, Gale also made ACU only the fourth university in NCAA history to have back-to-back starting quarterbacks throw for at least 12,000 yards in a career. The first to do it was Louisiana Tech University with Tim Rattay and Luke McCown from 1997-2003. They were followed by the University of Hawaii with Timmy Chang and Colt Brennan from 2001-07, and the University of Houston with Kevin Kolb and Case Keenum from 2003-11. Malone and Gale from 2005-12 make ACU the latest entrant into the select club.

During his four years as the Wildcats’ starting quarterback, Gale led ACU to 30 victories, three trips to the NCAA Division II playoffs and one LSC title. He currently plays for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.

I’m thankful for how I’ve grown in football and out of football while I’ve been at ACU.It’s helped me become the person I’ve become.
