Abilene Christian turns back Southern Utah 21-18

ABILENE, Texas (AP) — Freshman Rovaughn Banks Jr. scored on a short run in the fourth quarter after a key interception by Elijah Moffett and Abilene Christian held off Southern Utah 21-18. Abilene Christian (5-2, 2-0 Western Athletic Conference) was leading 14-10 early in the fourth when Moffett picked off a Justin Miller pass and returned it 37 yards to the Southern Utah (3-4, 1-2) 15-yard line. Four plays later Banks bulled his way into the end zone from a yard out to push the Wildcats’ advantage to 21-10 with 10:51 remaining in the game. Miller connected with Ethan Bolingbroke for a 5-yard touchdown and added a two-point conversion pass to get Southern Utah within three, but ACU used five plays to run out the clock.
