1) How many players do we get back for next week? 2) Did our OCs learn anything?

Good questions. I don't know but I bet we don't see folding up at the end of the game this time.

Tarleton guys, fair warning: Southwest Baptist's last game was an 86-7 loss to Permian Basin. If y'all botch this we're going to mention it every day for fifteen years.

I am not worried about them at all. We may play nice and not run up the score past 50. But if we lose this game (which is highly doubtful) we deserve to be reminded of it for 15 years. ACU @ their inversely proportional opponent and the battle of the Austin's are the best ones this week imo.

UCA is a must win for ACU. We had our worst let down against UIW since Patterson became our coach. It was mystifying but a key play was a very questionable targeting call that reversed the field and benched one of our stars. I know that should not be an excuse, but video clearly showed our player turning so it would not be targeting, and it was not called until an appeal. Oh well, if we don't beat UAC it could be a longish season.

Good luck against UCA, I hope ACU gets the W. They are supposedly one of the best teams in the UAC this year by rankings, but they did lose to NDSU pretty badly. UIW I think is in the Top 10 so playing them close is a good sign for ACU.

Another home game where you can’t hear $hit with the audio on the live feed.

To go along with the crappy audio we get really crappy football. Jeez.

You’re not missing anything. Knew Whitten would keep it close. He may let us get beat.

It’s time for for the backup QB.

Reason tells us that UTPB would curb stomp us.

Gabalis has to get to 3 interceptions before he can come out. Gotta keep those stats up.

UCA kicked our @$$...

And he just hit a defender between the numbers, but he dropped it!

Not even IT can spin this.

Powell is a beast. We miss him so much. UCA will make a strong push for the AQ.

In other UAC action, EKU scored 10 points in the last minute to beat ranked SEMO today.

What an absolutely pitiful performance by the Texans. 2 ints and 2 fumbles lost.

We did have multiple players out on both sides of the ball but we still have more than enough to be better than this, but apparently not tonight.
