ABILENE - Lamar University spotted Abilene Christian University a 3-0 first-quarter lead, then scored 31 unanswered points en route to a 38-10 Southland Conference victory over the Wildcats Saturday night in Shotwell Stadium.
Wildcat nemesis Kade Harrington ran for 145 yards and one touchdown to help Lamar keep ACU winless on the season (0-6 overall and 0-4 in conference play). Carson Earp completed 16 of 19 passes for 211 yards and a touchdown in leading the Cardinals to a 2-3 record overall and 2-1 in the Southland. Lamar's league-leading pass defense limited ACU's nationally ranked pass offense to 119 yards through the air.
Harrington has rushed for 635 yards in his last three games against the Wildcats, including a league record 347 in 2015. He added two catches for 89 yards and a score against ACU on Saturday, good for 234 all-purpose yards.
Zae Giles added 87 yards on the ground and scored two of the Cardinals' four rushing touchdowns. De'Andre Brown ran for 49 of ACU's 187 rushing yards. The Wildcats' lone TD came on a 7-yard pass from Parker McKenzie to Cody Ennis in the third quarter.
The Wildcats are on the road to play Southland Conference leader Sam Houston State University next Saturday at 3 p.m. Lamar hosts Northwestern State University at 6 p.m.
