Philip Staback set a school record with six touchdown passes and the No. 6 Lindenwood football team had one of its best passing days in school history during a 48-14 victory at Baker on Saturday afternoon.

Staback was 27of 32 passing on the day for 436 yards. His six touchdown passes broke the previous mark of five which had been done four other times, including twice by Staback earlier this season. Mike Bunton and Matt Bramow each caught two touchdown passes, and Andrew Helmick and Jamere Holland had the other receiving touchdowns. Staback's 436 yards passing was the third-most in school history and the team's 490 passing yards was the second-best in program history.

Lindenwood moved the ball and dominated possession throughout the first quarter but the 15 minutes ended in a 0-0 tie after the Lions turned it over twice on downs in the red zone.

In the second, both teams found some offensive success. Lindenwood scored on the first play of the quarter when Helmick caught an 18-yard touchdown pass. After a Baker missed field goal, Holland had a 76 yard reception, setting up an eventual touchdown pass to Bunton. The Wildcats scored seven on their next possession, but left too much time on the clock. The Lions scored once more before half on a Denodus O'Bryant 10-yard touchdown run.

Defense and special teams then helped Lindenwood put the game out of reach in the third quarter. Baker went three-and-out after receiving the kickoff, and Chris Howard blocked the punt. Lindenwood took over in the red zone and one play later Bramow was in the endzone. After another three-and-out, Damian James returned Baker's kick 67 yards to set the offense up again in the red zone. This drive ended with Holland catching the touchdown reception.

Twice more in the fourth quarter, Lindenwood got possession of the ball in Baker territory and both times ended in touchdowns, with Bramow and Bunton each collecting their second scores. Baker scored in the final minutes to make the final margin 48-14.

Holland led the receivers with six receptions for 172 yards. Bramow had five catches for 61 yards and Helmick had 73 receiving yards. Dominick Sherman led the rushing attack with 31 yards. 

Lindenwood's defense made Baker one-dimensional on the day as the Wildcats had under 100 passing yards until late in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats had 13 drives and the Lions allowed them into Lindenwood territory on just four of them. Thomas Stubbs and Howard each had eight tackles and were in on a sack. The game's lone turnover was a fumble recovery by Keenan Mace.
