Alright we came out of the weekend without a loss this weekend. Hopefully after a mistake free weekend we carry that momentum into Texas Saturday. A win Saturday would go a long ways to possibly finishing the season on high note and upward trajectory of the program….no pressure. Both teams coming off a bye and UNA gets another crack at a Homecoming game. Hope we start the game like EKU did against us. Hopefully we get some guys back healthy and ready to get that winning feeling again. A win Saturday starts a streak of two weekends without a loss…let’s go streaking….. Roar Lions!
Also preview day is well done by North Alabama. We enjoyed the tours and information plus the welcome meeting gets everyone fired up. Kitts does an excellent short discussion of why UNA.

Everyone still recovering from the bye week?
We're 11.5 point dogs at Abilene Christian. Honestly it's hard to get a good read on them. Their wins are Northern Colorado and Prairie View, neither of which are good teams. They got blown out by Central Arkansas and lost by a couple of scores to FBS North Texas. But then they played #9 Incarnate Word close in a 27-20 loss.
With the game being in Texas they'll have the advantage, but it's just impossible to say how this will go. I *think* it will be a close game? Maybe? But will not be surprised if our second half woes continue, especially on the road. Hopefully the bye has given our coaches time to implement some new wrinkles in the offense. Though ACU was on a bye last week too, so they could look a little different to our defense.
I'll predict a repeat of their score against UIW, with them unfortunately winning 27-20. Hope I'm wrong.

The bye week gave us a chance to recover and study. I think we win by 14

Well we have won as many on the road as we have won at home. Hopefully homecoming distracts Abilene Christian and opens the door for the Lions to put up 34 points on the road. Is 34 points enough to win the game? This week it is just barely, as ACU puts up 30 at home and just falls short at the end. Our offense has a solid first and second quarter. Some young guys step and make plays. We make a FG. Lions win and have a chance to even the record the next week.
UNA 34 ACU 30
Roar Lions!

For anyone that doesn’t realize it, since we seem to always play at 6: today’s game is at 3:00 CT.
Before I saw a tweet earlier this morning I had just assumed it would be another evening game.

The last time UNA played ACU was at Cowboys Stadium in 2011. Bowden was the coach and Janoris Jenkins was on the team.

ACU is better than Tarleton. And I just threw up a little in my mouth saying that. Love y’all’s optimism, but I see it 38-24 ACU. I really hope I’m wrong.

I'm just hoping we don't get a lead and then fold like a cheap shirt in the second half again.

Walters is playing absolutely horrible? He keeps throwing it straight to the other team? Two games in a row. Guessing he is done for the day. We need some life from Qb position. I feel like we go out and get one or two after this season.

Defense is playing well from what I’ve seen so far, as I’ve had to step away from the TV a couple of times. Of course, like our last few games, they are getting zero help from our offense. Losing Daniels at RB hurt us so much, I’m afraid. Walters is obviously very inconsistent, but without much of a running game everything is falling on his shoulders.
It’s very frustrating to watch.

Sigh. This team is regressing as the season goes on. Especially the offense.

Watford only punted it 13 yards? That's pathetic. Now down 13-0 in the 2nd quarter.
