Game balls for me-
OL kept Long upright all game DL was in the backfield all game. Bradley and Morgan were everywhere Jolly. Yes he gave up some big plays at the end, but he followed Chrest all game. I was waiting for us to do that RB Banks and Smith. Not huge games but ran hard all game Our broadcast. Their broadcast can’t hold a candle to ours QB Long did his job and was very efficient. Coaching staff. They had these guys believing they could win. In the past it’s been I hope we can. We took it to them

Major kudos to Ethan Long for a superb game. In the 1st quarter, when it really mattered to get off to a fast start, Ethan was almost perfect. This team just keeps coming up with quality games from non-starters. I hope we fans realize how many players that are turning in quality plays and games are 1st or 2nd year players or players (like Long and McIvor) who've not played meaningful snaps in years. The future is bright. Thank you coach Keith Patterson.

The SHSU sports message board is in total meltdown looking forward to the coming seasons in FBS, lack of facility upgrades, and no interest by the current SHSU President in raising money for the sports program.

I second the game ball to Long. It would have been nice to have Maverick's stronger arm going against the wind but Drew managed the game well and made the throws we needed at the right time. D and special teams took a lot of pressure of him early which also had to help. Good team win.

Yes! A football team that can make Science, Math, and Engineering proud! It was a beautiful game.

Great win! Can not wait for next weeks game. I’ll be at the game in Abilene as well! I hope there is a huge crowd!! Agree. I’ll be there and cannot wait! This team deserves a big crowd with a ton of energy. I was at the game today and there was a fair amount of purple who showed a lot of enthusiasm and it was great! Hopefully that will continue next Saturday and we can do our part in adding to the home field advantage.

I heard at the game that McIvor was getting an injection before the game that didn't ease his pain and that's why Long was playing.

7,592 attendance according to ESPN. We would consider that a mediocre crowd. I find it interesting a very successful winning program at a school (they have had a winning season this year also), with an enrollment 4 times ours only draws this many to its games. They even sold beer at the game (sorry, my sarcasm coming out). I know they have good loyal fans, and as was shown today, so do we. I too as a long time ACU guy was waiting for the shoe to drop, but we kept going. This may be the turnaround moment for this program.

It was opening weekend for deer season, surprised there was that many people.

The stands looked a little spotty so the attendance does not surprise me. The stadium was unimpressive and now I am partial to football stadiums without the track around the field.
Any information about what McIvor's pain was from? I did not know he was still hurt. Elbow, shoulder, ribs???
