The Big Game - Third Quarter

13:48 -- A nice return, a personal foul and a solid run by Scott and ACU's in field goal range here to start the second half.

12:26 -- Knox spins out of a tackle and loses about half a yard, fourth and less than one on the 14. Scott gets the conversion.

10:23 -- Following another WT penalty (offsides) Scott punches it in from two out to make it a one-score game.

(Like I said ... run the ball. That drive went eight plays. Scott carried the ball on six of them.)

9:10 -- WT loses 16 on a bad snap fumble, back to its own 14. Looking at third-and-22 and the pass to a wide open Flemming dropped. WT's punting into the wind, so looks like good position coming up for the Cats with an opportunity to tie.

8:07 -- ACU takes over on the WT 38.

7:59 -- Again ... ACU goes to the air? Three straight incomplete passes. Matt Adams has a 50-yard leg, but the Cats instead decide to punt. Again, WT is offsides on the punt. Matt Adams comes in for a 50-yard field goal attempt. His kick had the distance but was just off the mark. WT's ball on the 33.

6:51 -- ACU gets a pick if the pass isn't just behind the defender. Instead WT gets another third-down conversion on the next play.

5:57 -- WT false start. WT sideline warning (their second). WT false start.

5:24 -- WT's got a third-and-nine on its own 45. Null forced to get it away with the defense barreling down on him. ACU holds, will get the ball back in decent position.

4:59 -- Well, they got it back, anyway. Knox decided to watch it roll, and ACU will start on its own 15.

4:39 -- Scrambling away from a little pressure, Malone hits Knox on the far sideline for 39 yards! ACU ball at the WT 39 after a false start.

3:50 -- WT just can't stop itself. Malone's send-and-13 pass goes off the mark, but the Buffs give the Cats life with a 15-yard roughing the passer. (That's 106 yards in penalties so far compared to 30 for ACU.)

2:40 -- Malone pass to Holloway good, but he's ruled out of bounds in the end zone on a third-and-2 from the 14. They'll go for it, but they couldn't get the ball off in time and there was an illegal shift call at the snap. Turnover on downs -- that one could wind up being a big play when this is all done.

1:55 -- Third-and-8 for WT ... ACU D is playing great in the second half so far ... and WT is helping them out. False start. Now it's third-and-13 at the 11. Once again, though, pass complete to Kolo (just before Null got leveled). First down.
