What's in the box for ACU?
ACU football fans should be excited about today's opener against Northwest Missouri State. Not only is it a big game between two top-ranked teams, but it's sort of like Christmas for ACU fans - you really don't know what's in the box. And by that, I mean this team has a lot of new faces on offense. Running backs Justin Johnson, Reggie Brown and Daryl Richardson (Bernard Scott's younger brother) -- all transfers -- have done well at lower levels, but how are they going to perform on a bigger stage in Division II? Even Johnson, who played at Oklahoma last season as a freshman, didn't get that many carries with the Sooners.
The same is true for the receivers. Edmund Gates is the team's only returning starting receiver, and the Wildcats will rely on several tranfers to help him out, including Kendrick Johnson, Dennis Campbell and Chris Fowler. It's going to be interesting to see how the receiving corps mesh with starting quarterback Zach Stewart, who'll be making his third career start.
This team has a lot of individual talent, but it takes chemistry to win. Just look at the Dallas Cowboys the last few years. Getting that chemistry might take time.
But it should be fun watching this offensive unit grow together.
