Offensive breakdowns and a couple of defensive lapses not only prevented ACU from owning a halftime lead, but allowed the Bulldogs to have the 3-point cushion at intermission. The key installment in the drive was a 33-yard Cody Cox to Casey Whittle pass. Two possessions later, ACU had the lead again, moving 49 yards in just five plays, thanks primarily to the work of reserve running back David Bennett. Stillings then had two hook- ups with tight end Charwick Reed for a total gain of 33 yards. The Wildcats marched right back down the field for the potential tying or go-ahead score.
Coaches just wind up trying to out-think themselves sometimes.
I thought our reserve linebackers came in and did an admirable job, too. Story courtesy of the Abilene Reporter News .
