SECOND SEASON

keith Patterson, former Texas Tech defensive coordinator, finished his first season at Abilene Christian in 2022 and immediately raised the expectations for the program.

Patterson was named as ACU’s 21st head football coach on Dec. 6, 2021 and his 2022 squad played for a conference title and put the Wildcats on the positive side of the win-loss ledger for the first time since 2018, going 7-4. ACU finished at 3-1 in the WAC.

Patterson’s experience includes 13 years leading some of the nations top defenses at the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision level. The FBS teams he coached qualified for bowl games in 13 of his 19 seasons. “We are excited to have someone with Keith’s experience to lead Wildcat football,” said Dr. Phil Schubert, ACU president. “From high schools to FBS programs, he has a strong knowledge of and familiarity with coaches in this part of the nation, a reputation for coaching high-level defenses and tremendous postseason experience. We believe he will be a great fit for ACU and our talented student-athletes.”

In 2019, Patterson was hired at Texas Tech by then-head coach Matt Wells. The two worked together at Utah State University in 2018. Prior to Utah State, Patterson spent four seasons at Arizona State University, following two years at West Virginia University. His

move to Texas Tech with Wells marked their third time to work together; both were also on staff at the University of Tulsa from 2003-06.

“Keith Patterson has a proven track record at the Division I level of developing young men on and off the field,” said Zack Lassiter, ACU’s vice president for athletics. “We have high aspirations for our football program to compete for WAC championships and qualify for the playoffs. Not only will Keith take our football program to the next level, he will be a great addition to the Abilene community.”

“I’m excited for Keith to get this opportunity” said Chris Thomsen, deputy head coach at Florida State University and head coach at ACU from 2005-11. “He is an excellent football coach whose coaching philosophy aligns with the mission of Abilene Christian. He will have a tremendous impact on the players, coaches and everyone in the ACU community.”

From 2018-20, Patterson’s defenders created 61 takeaways, a mark tied for eighth best in the nation and tops in the Big 12 during that span. During his first season in Lubbock, the Red Raiders created 19 takeaways, ranking third in the Big 12 and 17th in the nation for interceptions with 14.

In 2018, Patterson helped Utah State lead the nation in interceptions and share the FBS lead with 32 forced turnovers while finishing 11-2 to match the most wins in program history. Utah State also led the nation in interceptions (22) and three-and-outs forced (5.7 per game), and ranked third in defensive

touchdowns (six). The success launched the Aggies into a No. 22 final ranking in the Associated Press poll.

At Arizona State, Patterson served three seasons as defensive coordinator and one as linebackers coach and defensive special teams coordinator. He quickly transformed ASU into one of the most opportunistic units in the nation. The Sun Devils ended his first year on staff ranked sixth in the FBS for turnover margin at plus-14 and also led the Pac-12 with 14 interceptions. Arizona State was 29th in the nation for interceptions that year and among the top-25 units for sacks (13th), fumbles recovered (18th) and red-zone defense (23rd). ASU won 28 games and played in three bowl games during Patterson’s tenure in Tempe, highlighted by a 10-win campaign and victory in the Sun Bowl in 2014.

Prior to Arizona State, Patterson spent two seasons at West Virginia where he was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach in 2013 and the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach in 2012.

Patterson moved to West Virginia from its former Big East Conference rival Pittsburgh, where he served as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach in 2011. The Panthers averaged 3.31 sacks per game (third best nationally) and totaled 98.0 tackles for a loss (12th best). Patterson was named Pittsburgh's interim head coach following the regular season, leading the

Panthers in the BBVA Compass Bowl. He is 1-1 in his FBS career as an interim head coach after helping the Red Raiders close the 2020 season with a 16-13 victory over Kansas.

From 2003-10, Patterson served at the University of Tulsa as linebackers coach (2003-05) and co-defensive coordinator (200610). Tulsa played in six bowl games during Patterson’s tenure, which was capped by three 10-win campaigns in his final four seasons. The Golden Hurricanes were 10-3 in 2010, when his defense led the nation with 24 interceptions and ranked third in forced turnovers.

Prior to joining the staff at Tulsa, Patterson had 16 years coaching experience at Allen (Texas) High School, along with Oklahoma high schools in Ardmore, Edmond (Santa Fe and Memorial) and Altus. As the head coach at Ardmore High School, Patterson led his team to the District 5A-1 championship in 1999 and earned District Coach of the Year honors.

A native of Marlow, Oklahoma, Patterson earned his bachelor’s degree in health, physical education and recreation from East Central (Oklahoma) University in 1986. He was a four-year letterman at defensive back for ECU and later served his alma mater as a graduate assistant coach. He earned his master’s degree in kinesiology and sport studies in 2003 from Texas A&M University-Commerce.

SEASON PREVIEW

ACU entered the 2022 football season with a first-time collegiate head coach and a quarterback who hadn’t played in a game since his senior year of high school in 2019. At the end of the season, the Wildcats were 7-4, Keith Patterson was the Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, and Maverick McIvor had started nine games and grabbed the starting spot. Now entering the 2023 season, expectations are rising for the program, for Patterson and for McIvor, who threw for 2,212 yards and 16 touchdowns last year. For the first time since his junior year at San Angelo Central High School, McIvor was healthy for an entire season, and he’s completed an entire off-season program with the Wildcats. “This year has been a true leap forward,” said McIvor, now a junior. “Last year, I had two months in the summer and fall camp before we started the season. We’ve installed a new offense this season (under new offensive coordinator Ryan Pugh), so the time together has been huge for me, our offense and our team.” At times last year, McIvor looked like a quarterback who hadn’t played in four seasons. At others, he looked as good as any signal-caller in the league. Patterson, however, knew what to expect and was patient while McIvor worked off the rust. “He got hurt his senior season in high school, got hurt as a freshman at Texas Tech, and then COVID hit,” said Patterson, who led ACU to within one win of a 2022 WAC title and the most wins of its NCAA Division I era. “He’s so much more confident in what we’re doing and has such a better grasp going through his progressions and knowing what we’re trying to accomplish.”

Head coach and quarterback have also been thrilled with the progress of an offensive line that returns all five starters (Reese Moore, Alan Hatten, Tay Yanta, Rafiti Ghirmai and Jacob Thielen) and a running back corps featuring first team All-WAC honoree Jermiah Dobbins, Rovaughn Banks plus Javion Hunt (Arkansas transfer) and Jay’Veon Sunday (Washington). The receiver corps returns 6-4 Tristan Golightly and 6-4 Blayne Taylor, and has added Jacoby Boykins (Alabama) and Marcayll Jones (Memphis). Defensively, ACU returns the core of a solid secondary with second-team All-WAC selections Patrick Jolly and Elijah Moffett both returning.  ACU opens the 2023 season on Thursday, Aug. 31, at home against Northern Colorado. Other home games include Incarnate Word (Sept. 16), North Alabama (Oct. 14 for Homecoming), Utah Tech (Nov. 4) and Tarleton State Nov. 11). Big non-conference road games include North Texas in Denton (Sept. 30) and Texas A&M in College Station (Nov. 18).Patterson and his wife, Melissa, have three daughters and one son.

Officially, the 1922 ACU-West Texas A&M game was forfeited in favor of ACU. However, three quarters of the game was played in Abilene with the WT captain calling his teammates off the fieldin a protest over a failure of the officials to call what the WT players considered to be interference with a receiver. ACU was ahead 13-7 at the time the WT players left the field.

Academic Overview

Because of ACU’s strong sense of mission and outstanding academic programs, it attracts high-quality faculty members from around the world. They believe their Christian commitment requires them to excel in their fields of study and to focus on teaching and mentoring students. Experienced and talented professors teach freshmen and conduct research and hands-on learning projects with undergraduate students. Some of the best minds in the world choose to teach at ACU.

ACU students are encouraged to share their time and talents as Christian leaders and volunteers through various service-learning opportunities on the campus, in the community and in other countries. Graduates of ACU are in high demand by employers and graduate programs because they gain knowledge and experience in their majors, and they learn to apply Christian values to their everyday decisions.

Among ACU's top academic programs are:

• one of the top undergraduate physics programs in the world, with unprecedented research opportunities at the nation’s best nuclear physics laboratories and on campus in roles typically reserved only for graduate students and physicists with Ph.D.s;

• a business college accredited by AACSB International, with graduates whose first-time pass rate on the CPA exam is more than double the national average;

• one of only five accredited journalism schools affiliated with a private university (others include Baylor and Brigham Young);

• a teacher education program whose graduates are in high demand for their hands-on expertise in bringing mobile-learning technology to the classroom;

• an ATS-accredited Graduate School of Theology and an undergraduate Bible, missions and ministry program that has produced more youth ministers than any other U.S. university; and

• a well-respected sciences program that prepares graduates who are accepted to medical schools at a rate double the national average.

Abilene Christian is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate, baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral degrees.

Its Adams Center for Teaching and Learning, in Brown Library, spurs opportunities for innovation, focus and leadership within the community of leaders and emerging leaders among ACU faculty members.

The AT&T Learning Studio, on the top floor of Brown Library, began providing a curricular laboratory to support student, faculty and staff experiments with new media tools.

Abilene Christian is regularly named by peers as one of the most innovative universities in the Southwest and one of the best for undergraduate research in the nation.

ACU’s Nuclear Energy EXperimential Testing Lab (NEXT) leads a consortium called NEXTRA –the Nuclear Energy eXperimental Testing Research Alliance – with Georgia Tech University, Texas A&M University, and The University of Texas at Austin. NEXTRA was formed in Spring 2019 to design, license and commission a molten salt-fueled research reactor to be hosted on ACU’s campus. Abilene-based Natura Resources is funding $30.5 million for the groundbreaking effort among physicists, engineers, chemists and their students.

The funding will continue NEXT Lab’s work to address the world’s critical needs of affordable and clean energy, pure and abundant water, and medical isotopes for diagnosing and treating cancer. n

A.B. Morris served as the head football and head men’s basketball coach during his long tenure at ACU. Former football coach A.M. “Tonto” Coleman went on to serve as the commissioner of the famed Southeastern Conference, and former track and field mentor Oliver Jackson coached three-time Olympic gold medalist Bobby Morrow – still called by some the greatest sprinter who ever lived.

Wildcat student-athletes have been blessed by a wealth of some of the top coaches in collegiate athletics, including Bill McClure (track and field), Wally Bullington (football), Dee Nutt and Joe Golding (men’s basketball), Burl McCoy (women’s basketball), Wes Kittley (track and field), Don W. Hood and Don D. Hood (track and field), Brek Horn

(volleyball), Vince Jarrett (men’s golf), and Chris Thomsen (football). Current coaches such as Julie Goodenough (women’s basketball) and Adam Dorrel (football) are highly regarded in their profession.

No intercollegiate athletics program in the state of Texas – at any level – can claim as many national championships as ACU, which has won 64 team titles since 1952. Of them, 57 have come at the NCAA Division II level, the fifth-most NCAA national championships in history behind only UCLA, Stanford, USC and NCAA Division III swimming powerhouse Kenyon College.

ACU’s 54 national titles in track and field are the most in one sport by any university in the country. The Wildcats won 163 Lone Star Conference championships from 1973-2013 and enjoyed some remarkable championship winning streaks. The men’s track and field team won 18 straight LSC championships (27 overall), and the women’s track and field team won each of the first 20 LSC titles before its streak ended in 2004. The men’s cross country team saw its LSC championship streak ended in November 2011 at 20 straight.

ACU student-athletes also have been awarded some of their sports highest individual honors, the most recent in 2008 when running back Bernard Scott won the Harlon Hill Trophy as the top player in NCAA Division II football. That same

year, offensive center Sam Collins won the Gene Upshaw Award as the top lineman in NCAA Division II.

In 2007, cross country standout Nicodemus Naimadu became the first athlete in NCAA history – male or female, any level – to win four consecutive individual national championships. In 2009, decathlete Camille Vandendriessche became the first athlete in NCAA history to win three straight individual national championships in the decathlon. One year later, Linda Brivule became the first female in NCAA Division II history to win the individual national championship in the javelin.

ACU’s internationally recognized track and field program has produced world-record holders, 39 Olympians, several hundred all-America performers and two Olympic gold medalists. In addition, the program was named the Texas Sports Dynasty of the Century by Texas Monthly magazine in November 1999.

Also, Abilene Christian has produced 34 NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship honorees since 1966.

The Wildcats also are heavily represented in Halls of Fame across the country, including Jackson and Morrow, who were elected in 2015 to the Texas Track and Field Coaches’ Association Hall of Fame.

Morrow is in six different halls of fame: ACU, Drake Relays, U.S. Olympic, U.S. Track and Field, Texas Sports, and Texas Track and Field. Jackson is a member of the Texas Sports and U.S. Track Coaches halls of fame, and more than 50 other former Wildcats are recognized by other such organizations around the nation.

Abilene Christian was the only university in NCAA Division II to have been ranked in the top 15 in each of the first 16 Learfield Directors’ Cup final standings, including second in 1995-96, 1996-97, 1998-99 and 2005-06. The Wildcats finished in the top four in four other seasons. n
