Tyson Williams, a junior defensive back and return specialist, electrified the crowd returning a punt 71 yards for a touchdown midway through the third quarter to extend the Wildcats lead over Central Arkansas. His score marked ACU's first special teams touchdown of the year and its first punt return for a score since 2023. Williams' return touchdown was part of Abilene's 29-point third quarter rally, going from down 21-13 at halftime to leading 42-21 headed into the fourth quarter.
