Players of the Week and some really cool pictures from the ACU vs. WT game

All I've got to say is Bernard Scott is a warrior! This picture of our OC after the game says it all!
I'm not sure who this is making a tackle!
Billy (our QB) had an awesome game as did our entire offense!
Once again... lost of pressure on their QB! This was one of the interceptions he threw. I think I'd throw an interception too if I had Vantrise, Fred, and Willis coming after me.
Love this one of our captains!
Can we say facemask?
Kimbrough stadium... what a neat atmosphere!
Looking serious! I love this picture where Keith Null is about to get sacked by Mike Kern! Poor guy... we were in his face all night long. Maybe that's why he threw 3 interceptions and their offense had 5 turnovers!
Two of our players got LSC players of the week this week:
South Offensive Bernard Scott, Abilene Christian, Sr., Running Back, Vernon, Texas/Wichita Falls
Scott broke his own LSC single-game record for all-purpose yards Saturday night in the third-ranked Wildcats' 52-35 win over fourth-ranked West Texas A&M. Scott posted 408 all-purpose yards in the game, breaking his record of 383 yards that he posted last year in the Wildcats' playoff loss at Chadron State. Scott ran for 268 yards and two touchdowns and had 141 yards and one touchdown receiving as the Wildcats improved to 7-0 on the season with the victory. Scott had 185 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in the second half and 64 receiving yards in the final 30 minutes. He had a 47-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-one early in the third quarter that pushed ACU's lead back to 24 points, and his 65-yard touchdown run with less than six minutes to play sealed the Wildcats' victory.
South Defensive Craig Harris, Abilene Christian, Jr., Cornerback, Bellville, Texas/Bellville
Harris was a big part of a clutch ACU defensive effort that forced West Texas A&M quarterback Keith Null into three interceptions and had five total takeaways Saturday night in the third-ranked Wildcats' 52-35 win over fourth-ranked WTAMU. Harris finished with six tackles (6 solo), two interceptions (for 27 yards in returns) and one forced fumble He had an interception near the end of the first half that kept the Buffs out of the end zone, but it was his interception with 7:18 left in the game that helped the Wildcats seal the game. With the Buffs trailing 38-28, they faced third-and-six at the ACU 49 when Null threw deep to the post for his all-America receiver, Charly Martin. Harris, however, went over the top of Martin to intercept the pass at the ACU 2-yard line. He returned the ball 15 yards to the ACU 17, and three plays later Bernard Scott went 65 yards for a touchdown to push ACU's lead to 52-35.
Bernard obviously deserved this with his 400 yard game. He'll be in the spotlight many more times. But it's Craig who I am most proud of and if you knew the story of his life, you would be too! Way to go Craig! Well deserved!
