ACU finished a remarkable 2008 campaign with an 11-1 record that included only the second perfect regular season (10-0) in program history and the program's first outright Lone Star Conference championship since 1973.
The Wildcats led the nation in points per game (more than 50 per game) and total offense (averaging more than 550 yards per game). In one playoff game
against West Texas A&M, the Wildcats won by the astounding score of 93-68, a score and game that garnered national and international recognition. ACU's performance in the game was deemed one of ESPN Sports Center's Top 10 "Plays of the Day." In that game, ACU running back Bernard Scott set several records, including six rushing touchdowns, seven touchdowns overall and 42 total points scored. It was that game that probably wrapped up the Harlon Hill Award, which went to Scott as the Division II Player of the Year.
