The surface of P.E. Shotwell Stadium in Abilene finally in cool enough for another college football game to be played.
Saturday's Division II playoff game between West Texas A&M and Abilene Christian could be called the Lone Star Conference fall track and field championships. More than a half-dozen scoring plays covered at least 50 years.
A total of 1,500 yards and 161 points. Gentlemen, start your calculators.
How does a football team scores 93 points against a good defense?
Let's remember that ACU and WT ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in offense in D-II. On this day, both offenses were at their best and the defenses were defenseless to stop them.
Also, in effort to make something happen, WT players got out of position. Once ACU's Bernard Scott got by the first line of defense, it was clear sailing to the end zone.
WT must improve its playoff defense to get past the second round. But ACU has an offense this year that probably no team in D-II will stop all the way to Florence, Ala.

Another great winning season with a great head coach in Don Carthel.
But we're now kinda spinning our wheels...
And this was very much a struggle to stay in our place season.
And it's very obvious that ACU has caught up with the Buffs...and even passed them in some ways.
And if we are ever going to get past the 2nd round of the playoffs and stay on top of the conference...
We need to get a real defensive coordinator...because Colby...the coach's son is just not cutting it.
Either Colby needs to be reassigned...or we need to get a co-defensive coordinator...who is more experienced than Colby.
Don't get upset with me...because this has already been brought up on the D2 football board...and the usual WT status-quo brown-nosers poo-poohed it.
