SEASON PREVIEW: OFFENSE

hen Adam Dorrel took over as the ACU head football coach in December 2016, W one of his goals was for his team to become the most physical unit in the Southland Conference. That was the theme the offense carried throughout spring training as a new offense was installed under offensive coordinator Josh Lamberson, who ran Dorrel’s offense as the quarterback at Northwest Missouri State from 2001-05, leading the Bearcats to the 2005 NCAA Division II national championship game. If the Wildcats are going to be similar to those Northwest Missouri State teams, ACU fans can expect to see a multi-faceted offense that will feature called quarterback runs, some plays for the backup quarterbacks, a desired 50-50 run-pass ratio, and a commitment to perfecting the fundamentals. But a physical offense starts with a physical offense line, and that’s where the Wildcats have their biggest question marks going into 2017.. Starting right tackle Riley Mayfield graduated in May and left for North Texas where he'll have two years of eligibility remaining. Another question mark comes in the form of transfer Bill Webber, who should push his way into the starting lineup right away. The transition to a new offensive style began in the spring and the results of the work will begin to show up on Sept. 2 when the Wildcats open the season at New Mexico. Until then, much Sophomore RB Tracy James work is left to be done and some major holes left to be filled.n

SEASON PREVIEW: DEFENSE

rom the first day of spring training, new ACU defensive coordinator Tremaine Jackson F has preached physicality and turnovers. Each day on the practice field, you could hear him bellowing, “I don’t care how we did it here in the past; it’s a new day!” You can't blame Jackson for focusing on turnovers. In three seasons as the defensive coordinator at Sioux Falls (2014-16), his defenses allowed just 19.5 points per game and forced 100 turnovers. Sioux Falls was 32-5 in those three seasons and advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs in each of those three seasons. In the last three seasons, ACU’s defense has allowed an average of 32.4 points and 452.3 yards per game and has only taken the ball away 55 times, including just 13 takeaways last season. In their last 22 games (11 games in 2015 and 11 more in 2016), the Wildcats have allowed at least 40 points in a game eight times, four times in each season. Still, Jackson does have some pieces to work with, led by senior middle linebacker Sam Denmark, who enters the season just 63 tackles away from becoming ACU’s all-time leader in that category. Also, senior Bryson Gates makes the move from outside linebacker to defense end, and senior Royce Moore moves from safety to linebacker to provide some pop in the front seven. Coach Tremaine Jackson says: “We need to improve in all areas to be brutally honest. But my expectations for our defense entering the season are very high. We set a standard of play in the spring and summer that I'm eager to see come to fruition. The first thing we must improve on is leveraging the ball. We had a hard time understanding where to fit against blocks and keep the Senior LB Royce Moore proper leverage on the ball." n

SEASON PREVIEW: SPECIAL TEAMS

enior placekicker Nik Grau returns to the Wildcats for his fifth S and final season, and he does so as the only returning specialist on the 2017 roster. The Wildcats graduated a four-year punter in Austin Kilcullen, as well as holder Parker McKenzie and three-year deep snapper Hayden Brodowsky, leaving ACU in the unenviable position of having to replace three key pieces of the special teams unit. Grau, however, is one of the top kickers in the Southland Conference, having earned first team all-conference honors at the end of the 2016 season and first team pre-season all-conference recognition to start the 2017 season. Unlike past year, the Wildcats won’t have one special teams coach. Instead, it will be “special teams by committee” in terms of coaches as linebackers coach J.B. Brown will coach the punt block / punt return teams, wide receivers coach Ryan Gent will handle the punt team, defensive line coach Blake Andersen will handle the kickoff team, fullbacks / tight ends coach Derron Montgomery will be in charge of kickoff return, and volunteer assistants James Curlee and Mat Newton will coach the field goal teams.n
