Our bye week is over and it's homecoming. For the first time, I want to see ACU take care of business from the first whistle to the last. Just because UWG has a bad record doesn't give any excuse to take anything for granted or take our foot off the gas of any progress we have made. We need a strong win going into the last 3 weeks. Either we take this season, another title and another post season seriously or we don't. Put up or shut up begins this weekend.

UCA has been playing well this season, but they're still struggling to find a way to win. UNA has, even though they lost to AP on Saturday and to us. They gave both a run for our money. I don't see UNA letting up.

Watch out Texans, the Colonels are on a roll.

TSU is where we once always found ourselves. Sorry, to say our administration has dropped the ball for the past decade. Colonel fans all know it, we have bemoaned and beat it to death. All I can say is I hope it's not embarrassing, however, I will always back our football team, and it will be same Saturday. One "positive", WW's puts a great looking uniform on our team. I guess at least there's something.
EKU fans will be watching and hoping for a miracle.

Our coach will not embarrass you. It will be a game at halftime!

We are on our fourth QB. Returning QB hurt and out in spring. Starting QB in fall (was doing well), is out for the season with leg injury. 3rd QB, benched last week. 4th QB, started last week, grad transfer from James Madison, was his first collegiate start. So, you can see we are treading water, hope we're not lost at sea!

Tarleton
ACU
UNA

EKU has been a thorn in our side. We’ve only beaten them once, last year. 2024 game was in hand but the conservative gameplan bit us. EKU sucks, but we will absolutely not blow them out. Should. But won’t. Last week was great. Although in the second quarter it was a very tight game.
You just have to destroy these bad teams. Optics mean something.

EKU is going to be a heavy load for Tarleton

We need to kick the Colonel’s bucket

Gonna be a thin crowd today looks like. EKU brought a few. They usually travel better than other UAC teams to Tarleton. Besides ACU of course.

QB issues since last spring, Burkett back in, after Kendall goes out. Burkett has not played since last spring. We've now played 4 QB's this season! Not a good situation.
EKU radio just said Kendall (who started tonight) will not return. Hard to get momentum losing QB's like throwing away pennies.

Let's GO Colonels!

ACU does bring it. They played a full 4 qtrs both offensively and defensively today against UWG. They absolutely dominated them and never let up. They did struggle a little in the 3rd offensively, but never gave the Wolves a chance and then gained traction again. They put the 2nd string in with over 8 1/2 minutes in the game and score 3 more times.

EKU may not be winning right now, but they are giving everything they have in Stephenville.

EKU ties it up with 6:49 left in the half: 7-7.

UNA holds UCA at the goal and starts running out the clock: 14-9.

UNA defeats UCA 14-9.

Tarleton just scores again w/ 5:22 in the half: 14-7.

EKU ties it up right before the half: 14-14.

I turned it on after the UNA game. That was a wild finish of the half for EKU to tie it up!

No one expected Burkett to play this year. 4th QB of the season.

EKU takes the lead with a FG...

EKU 17 Tarleton State 14 10:39 left in the 3rd qtr.

Wow. Texans hold them off on the goal line.

That was a huge stop by the Texans after a bad penalty kept EKU going.

And the next Texan score didn't take long: 21-17 w/ 13:59 left.
