What did the NY Times say about ACU?

The article was a highlight of the collegiate games played Saturday in The Athletic, their sports section. It gave our game a good bit of ink and pretty much stated ACU a FCS team had given Texas Tech a real battle with overtime and a 52-51 final score. It also went into detail about quite a few of our players including the quarterback being from Tech as well as our head coach. As I recall, it also mentioned Bowie, our new OC. I will try to post a link if I come across it again. This hit the internet early Sunday.

Just thinking about the performance of our wide receivers Saturday night. Only a couple of drops and many good receptions. Taylor dropped the 1st pass of the game but responded with a tremendous 7 catch game. Cleveland had 8 catches but what caught my eye was his ability to get open. Martinez adjusted his route several times for catches (probably had options to settle or go right or left) and the TD catch was special because of how he drifred into the open area. Henry caught throws over the middle, a couple that were low, without a drop (that I remember). Graham caught 2 early passes but was quiet for most of the game (did he play in the 2nd half?). Banks and Johnson were effective out of the backfield and I was led to believe that Hicks would be the most used back in our passing game. We have so many options. I liked KP's statement about the play called for the 2 point try that Maverick had 3 options as the play panned out. If each pass play has multiple options and we have 5 available receivers on most plays-then Maverick ought to have a field day. I love Bowie's offense.

So glad the years of 2 to 3 pitches to the backfield for short gains seem to be over. Now we just have keep Bowie from being snatched up by a G5 or P4 school!
