Lindenwood is coming off a 48-24 win over Southwest Baptist, in which the Lions scored points five different ways in all three phases of the game.  Spencer Redd scored the first punt return touchdown for Lindenwood since the 2012 season, while Jordan Perry registered a pick six for the first time since 2018.  Logan Seibert knocked in a pair of field goals, including the second-longest in program history when he drilled a 50-yard field goal.
