End of Q3: ACU 46, ENMU 7

ACU's first drive of the third quarter – into the strong wind – was finished off 81 yards later when Gale found senior WR Kendrick Johnson on a 21-yard TD pass in the back of the end zone. The PAT failed but the Wildcat lead stretched to 39-0 with 10:07 remaining.

ENMU scored when QB Wesley Wood hit WR Carl Bouldin on a 33-yard scoring pass. A successful PAT by PK Taylor Cannon cut the ACU lead to 39-7 with 8:29 left.

Gale tossed his fifth TD of the game, finding Edmund Gates in the end zone with a 9-yard pass with 1:09 left. Owens' fourth PAT of the afternoon made the score 46-7.

ACU junior RB Josh Morgan fumbled on the Wildcat 15 with 14:51 left in the third quarter, and ENMU safety Curtis Jackson returned the miscue for a Greyhound TD. The PAT was good, and ACU's lead was cut to 46-14.
