Abilene Christian Buries West Georgia 59-0
Five turnovers, 172 total yards, no points. West Georgia's day was over before halftime, and Abilene Christian won 59-0 to move to 5-3.
The Wildcats got going fast, a 26-yard pass from Tucker Parks to Cristian Driver with 8:44 left in the first quarter, and kept going. Rovaughn Banks Jr. ran in from 5 yards, Driver caught a second touchdown from 41 yards with 1:01 left in the quarter, and Parks ran in from the 1 to make it 28-0 in the second. It was 35-0 after three. West Georgia never got within a touchdown, or anywhere near one.
The fourth quarter was just math. Jayden York caught a 30-yard touchdown, Deonte Dean ripped off a 53-yard run, Brandon Perez added a 29-yard field goal, and Trae Hill ran 18 yards with 30 seconds left. That is eight touchdowns and a field goal. Abilene Christian had 499 yards (281 passing, 218 rushing), and West Georgia lost three fumbles and threw two interceptions.
West Georgia falls to 0-6. There is not much to say that the scoreboard has not already said.
For fantasy, this was a big night for Parks, whose 37.7 points was a season high, on 272 yards, three touchdown passes and a rushing score. Driver (24.6) and York (20.5) also had season highs.
