Storylines
 - The Lindenwood football team ends its 2015 season on Saturday when it hosts Northeastern State at 1:30 p.m. at Hunter Stadium in St. Charles, Mo.
 
- Lindenwood's Connor Harris will be chasing both MIAA and NCAA Division II history on Saturday. The junior linebacker enters play this week with 169 tackles on the season and 480 tackles in his career. He is eight tackles shy of the NCAA Division II record for single-season tackles, and 11 tackles short of the MIAA career tackles mark.
 
- The Lions enter the week with a 3-7 record after dropping two straight games. Last weekend, Lindenwood fell in its final road game of the season at Central Oklahoma. The two teams were tied at 20 at halftime, but the Bronchos outscored the Lions 17-0 in the second half.
 
- Northeastern State is currently 2-8 on the year, and it is on a three-game losing streak. Last week, the RiverHawks jumped out to a 21-7 halftime lead over Washburn, but they were outscored 28-0 in the second half in the 35-21 loss.
 
- Both the Lions and RiverHawks have improved from their 2014 seasons. Lindenwood has won one more game this year, while Northeastern State has two more victories entering this week.
 
- Lindenwood and Northeastern State have played just once before. Last season in Tahlequah, Okla., the Lions defeated the RiverHawks by a 35-16 margin. The two teams were tied at seven at halftime, and Northeastern State took a 16-7 lead midway through the third quarter. Lindenwood exploded for 28 points in a 13-minute span for the win.
 
- Lindenwood's running game will look to take advantage of a Northeastern State run defense that ranks last in the MIAA by allowing 254.0 rushing yards a game, and 5.2 yards a rush. Last year against the RiverHawks, the Lions ran for 269 yards, including 188 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns by Connor Harris.
 
- The RiverHawks have gained nearly twice as many yards through the air this year as compared to their run game, and they rank third in the MIAA with 13.7 yards per completion. Lindenwood's defenders will have a chance for forcing some turnovers, as Northeastern State has a MIAA-high 17 interceptions in 2015.
