The Wildcats fell behind 10-7 early in the second quarter, but responded to that deficit with a six-play, 64-yard drive that took 2:23 off the clock and was capped with a 9-yard touchdown pass from Zach Stewart to Chris Morris. After the Wildcat defense forced a punt, the Wildcats responded with their longest drive of the season, an 11-play, 95-yard touchdown drive that took 3:22 off the clock.
On that drive, Stewart completed a huge fourth-and-three pass to Kendrick Holloway down to the Kingsville 31-yard line, and then he threw a beautiful ball to Johnny Knox from 31 yards out to make it 21-10 at the half. Knox caught the ball and barely got his right foot down in the back of the end zone to give the Wildcats their largest lead of the night.
The Wildcats' deficit, by the way, marked the first time they had trailed in a game this season since the 10:20 mark of the third quarter in the season-opening game at Northwest Missouri State. That covered an amazing stretch of about 466 minutes of game time.
Stewart, by the way, is 14 of 21 for 192 yards and two scores, while Bernard Scott has 14 carries for 89 yards and one touchdown. See if ACU head coach Chris Thomsen and offensive coordinator Ken Collums don't turn the game over to Mr. Scott in the second half and let him wear down the Javelina defense, which has given up 302 yards of offense to ACU in the first half.
