• NOTES: ACU has no answer for MSU's rushing attack, which has outgained it, 206 yards to 26. And it needs a ground game of its own, or at least a way to control the clock and score while keeping the Mustangs off the scoreboard. MSU gets to the end zone quickly. Keidrick Jackson (70 yards, 10 yards per carry), Jimmy Pipkin (52 yards, 17.3 yards per carry), Lester Bush (48 yards, 6 yards per carry) and Brandon Kelsey (36 yards, 9 yards per carry) are a four-man wrecking crew on the ground.
