Football Boast Notes from West Point
10/5/2020 11:16:00 AM | Football
- Of Army's four opponents this season, ACU had the most rushing yards (86), passing yards (302), passing touchdowns (3) and tackles (86).
- This was the Wildcats' first game without a turnover since the Oct. 19, 2019 game vs. Stephen F. Austin.
- ACU has scored in 24 consecutive games.
- Army - a rushing team - completed 4-of-7 passes for 52 yards, all of which are opponent season lows during the Wildcats' DI era (2013-present). However, in 2007, Easter New Mexico attempted only one pass vs. the Wildcats (incomplete), while rushing the ball 67 times in a 45-20 loss to ACU. By comparison, Army ran the ball 60 times Saturday.
- Kobe Clark enjoyed the first two touchdown game of his career in his 2020 season debut. He is the first Wildcat with two TD receptions in a single game since 2018. That year, two TD games were claimed by Josh Fink (Angelo State), Tracy James (Northwestern State) and Torin Justice (Southeastern Louisiana).
- Peyton Mansell, whose parents Mike and Kim were student-athletes at West Point, completed 23-of-37 passes for 279 and three touchdowns in his 'Homecoming' game. One of those touchdowns was a 61-yard strike to tight end Branden Hohenstein, which was the longest reception of his collegiate career. Hohenstein has three career touchdowns with the Wildcats.
- The 61-yard connection between Mansell and Hohenstein was ACU's first completion of more than 60 yards since the 2019 season opener at North Texas (Anthony to Fink for 64 yards).
- Through two games this season, Mansell has completed passes of 35 or more yards to five different receivers: Remington Lutz (35), L.J. McConnell (43), Kobe Clark (45), Taelyn Williams (49) and Branden Hohenstein (61). Clark's 45-yard reception at Army was a single-game career high.
- L.J. McConnell's 55-yard rush was the longest from scrimmage by an ACU wide receiver during the DI era, and with 11 receptions vs. the Black Knights he became ACU's sixth DI wideout with a 10+ plus catch game, joining Taylor Gabriel, Josh Fink, Kobe Clark, Darian Hogg and Justin Miller.
- McConnell led all Wildcats with 160 all-purpose yards.
- Freshman Stone Earle made his debut at quarterback late in the fourth quarter and completed both passes for 23 yards. He and Mansell went 8-for-8 in the final quarter for 176 passing yards.
- Notable defensive single-game highs at Army:
- Jordan Paup - 8 tackles
- Tory Hargrove - 7 tackles
- Chike Nwankwo - 7 tackles
- Jairan Parker - 7 tackles
- Hunter Kier - 6 tackles
- Quent Titre - 6 tackles.
- Kadron Johnson - 4 tackles and first career sack as a Wildcat
