"Serve and Protect & Military Appreciation Day"
Coming off our first OVC win of the season, then a bye to hopefully heal up a bit, the Leathernecks welcome the Lindenwood Lions to Hanson Field. Lindenwood is 4-5 this season and 3-2 in the OVC/BS. They opened the season with a 13-35 loss at St. Thomas, then 20-13 loss at FBS Appalachian State. They started their OVC games early, with a win at Charleston Southern (35-28). They then hosted Stony Brook for their first home game, where they won 30-27, followed up by their second FBS game, falling 38-0 at Miami (OH). Getting into the thick of the conference schedule, they won 30-14 against UT Martin, lost 52-28 against Tennessee Tech, and lost 48-20 against Gardner-Webb. They they went on the road and beat Tennessee State, 35-13.
Comparing common opponents:
We lost to Charleston Southern by 5, they beat CSU by 7
We lost to UT Martin by 1, they beat UTM by 16
We lost to Tennessee Tech by 46, they lost to TTU by 24
We beat Tennessee State by 1, they beat TSU by 22
So, it looks like they have the advantage over us on that front.
Massey has us as the #98th team in the FCS, while they are 63rd. That system has Lindenwood with a 55% chance of a win, which is actually a lower chance than they gave us to beat Tennessee State, so this is a game that we have a halfway decent chance of coming away with a win from.
