Acker was a four-year letterman, helped win the 1975 Southwest Conference co-title, the 1975 Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl, the 1977 Southwest Conference championship, and the 1978 Sun Bowl (42-0 over Maryland). He earned Second-team All-Southwest Conference honors in 1978 and was drafted in the sixth round by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1980, playing six NFL seasons. 4 Quote
