ACU seeks to add another chapter to a wild and wacky season

The Abilene Christian offense gathered on the sideline and prepared to take the field after watching the Northern Colorado offense execute a 12-play, 69-yard drive to take a 22-21 lead over the Wildcats with 1:10 remaining in regulation. 

It was the type of game that ACU had made a habit of losing since moving to NCAA Division I FCS in 2013. Entering the game in Greeley, Colorado, the Wildcats were 6-16 in games against FCS competition decided by three points or less, including 2-10 on the road. During the Keith Patterson era, ACU was 1-4 in games decided by three points or less and 0-2 on the road.
