Associated Press

CANYON, Texas -- A 20-yard field goal in overtime by John Roberts gave West Texas A&M a 30-27 victory over Abilene Christian on Saturday in Division II playoffs.

The game was forced into overtime by a 50-yard pass from West Texas A&M quarterback Dalton Bell to wide receiver Ramon Perry with just over a minute to play.

With the victory, West Texas A&M improves to 11-1 on the season and avenges its only loss of the season, a 49-33 home setback to Abilene Christian on Oct. 19th.

West Texas A&M, which trailed by 15 points late in the fourth period, got a 13-yard score from Bell to wideout Charly Martin with only 5:36 remaining to close the Abilene Christian lead to 27-19.

Martin then hauled in a short pass from Bell on a two-point conversion attempt to cut West Texas A&M's deficit to seven and set the stage for Perry's game-tying touchdown.

Bell completed 32-of-55 passes for 410 yards and three touchdowns.

In overtime, West Texas A&M was forced to settle for the 20-yard kick from Roberts after being turned away at the goal time.

On the ensuing Abilene Christian possession, West Texas A&M's defense forced a 34-yard attempt by ACU kicker Matt Adams, which was deflected and fell harmlessly to the turf.

This is the first 11-win season for West Texas A&M

Please RV. If you're not going to go after this guy, OR if for some reason this guy doesn't want to come to North Texas, then...

PLEASE FIND SOMEONE JUST LIKE HIM!

I don't see any way we could go wrong with Carthel. I think he would energize this program and the community. He is certainly worth consideration.

Anyone like Sean McDonnell at New Hampshire? He's won the Eddie Robinson award and has built a successful I-AA program on an exciting offense. They've been to the playoffs the last two years and are in this year.

Wow. I knew he'd been there a while, but I didn't know he was also their offensive coordinator for five seasons before being hired head coach and was a former UNH player. No wonder he's not getting mentioned in coach wish lists.
