The Wildcats are currently 1-1 on the road, with a victory at UTEP marking the first win of the season. The first loss came at the hands of New Mexico State in Las Cruces.
ACU will open the week on August 28 against Oral Roberts, who is currently 2-2 on the season, with both of their wins being on their turf.
