The Good, The Bad and the Ugly- Lindenwood
Posted: Sun Sep 07, 2025 10:24 am
After a game like that, it is hard to find anything good to say, but here we go.
The Good- we won the game and are now 2-0 for the first time since 2019.
The Bad- Turnovers and penalties. Most teams that lose 4 turnovers in a game will usually lose the game. If that continues, we will have a very long season. As if the turnovers weren't bad enough, we continue to make too many penalties, 9-80 is just not good, disciplined football.
The Ugly- A 20-13 win against a FCS team is about as ugly of a win as one can have. It wasn't like we pulled our starters after going up 14-0 in the first quarter, in fact we didn't get to pull them at all because we could never pull away. The last FCS team that played us this close was when Liberty took us down during the FBS transition year, but that game went into overtime, and we put up 48. To only score 20 points against a FCS team hasn't happened since we were a FCS team. Let that set in a bit, we haven't ever struggled that bad at scoring points on a FCS team since we have been FBS. We have to play better.
