Brief Description
The Bison faced their old coach, Jim Wacker, and lost. At half the score was 13-14 but in the second half the superior speed of the Bobcats combined with injuries to some key Bison players turned the tide in favor of Southwest Texas. From this point on, the Bison became believers in recruiting speed.
