touchdowns, to help ENMU pull away.
Ben Arbuckle, West Texas A&M University, came
into the game Saturday and helped spark a Buffalo
rally which came up short as he went 18 of 32 for a
career-best 354 yards along with a career-high four
touchdown passes and two intercep ons as the
Buffs almost rallied from a 30-7 hal ime deficit for
a 51-34 loss against Texas A&M-Kingsville. The four
touchdown passes were a season-high for the Buffs
as well. It was just the second game Arbuckle has
played as he went 1 for 2 with a touchdown at UT
Permian Basin on Sept. 19.
Javia Hall, Western New Mexico, did all he could
to try and bring the Mustangs back against Tarleton
State as he completed 32-45 for 447 yards and four
touchdowns. He found seven different receivers and
two went for over 100 yards in Treydonte Hill (122)

that went for at least 33 yards hi ng Raeshawn Lee
for a 33-yard TD, DeAndre Williams for a 37-yard TD
connec on, Norman for 46 and a long 65-yard TD

with six coming solo and a half tackle for loss. The

Tarleton. With the Texans up by three, Western New
Mexico took over on the game’s final possession at
their own 23 yard line. The Mustangs completed a
10-yard pass on the first play of the final drive before
McDuff took over. The Tarleton sophomore negated
that play by sacking QB Javia Hall for an 11-yard loss
and forcing the Mustangs to spike the ball with just
six seconds remaining. On the game’s final play, Hall
completed an eight-yard pass that was immediately
pitched backward in an a empt to break a long game-
winning play before McDuff came charging in to make
the game’s final tackle and jar the ball loose to seal
the game for the Texans. McDuff finished the game
with seven tackles, including 1.5 for a loss, and a
career high 2.5 sacks. He also forced the game-ending
fumble on the game’s last play, deflected a pass from
the line, and had one QB hurry. McDuff anchored
the Tarleton run defense that held the Mustangs to
just 68 rushing yards, which is the fewest amount of
rushing yards allowed by the Texans since Oct. 19,
2013.

a disrup ve force in the Greyhounds 34-3 win at UT
Permian Basin. His play helped Eastern limit UTPB
to just 208 yards of offense, the fewest given up by

third and fourth down plays, he recovered a fumble at
the Greyhound two-yard line to preserve a 10-3 lead
in the third quarter.
