End of Second Quarter (Commentary: West Texas A&M’s offense continued to play sluggishly until the Buffs’ 11-play drive in the middle of the quarter. The touchdown excited the team, but ACU bounced back with a field goal and touchdown late in the quarter. Turnovers have hurt the Buffs: 2 interceptions and 2 fumbles lost. ACU has capitalized as Malone now has 289 yards passing and 3 passing touchdowns. Knox has 189 yards receiving and 2 touchdowns. Scott has 81 yards rushing, 77 yards receiving, and 1 touchdown.)
