The Big Game -- Halftime

WT grabbed some momentum there in the second quarter and has ridden it to a 14-point lead at the break.

So far the difference has really been the defense. WT's D has forced a pair of punts, and both times turned them into scores. ACU, meanwhile, had forced the Buffs into a third-down situation six times and allowed the visitors to convert on four of them. The Cats, meanwhile, are 1-of-6 on third-down conversions.

Flemming is leading WT with 100 rushing yards at the break. Kolo's got 58 yards through the air. ACU's top receiver is Johnny Knox with 73 and the leading rusher at the break is Bernard Scott. He's only got 54 yards, though, as for some reason ACU decided in the second quarter to get away from the ground game that was so effective in the first quarter. If they hope to turn this one around, they'll have to get it back to Scott in the second half and turn in more of those long, sustained drives.

The ACU crowd has been quieted a bit here by the WT push and that's a big part of the WT push as well. The crowd was causing problems early for the Buff offense, and that would certainly help out in any second-half push.
