LWC Football hosts Pikeville on Saturday Night

By Chris Wells

The No. 4-ranked Lindsey Wilson football teams hosts Pikeville (Ky.) in the lone regular-season home night of the season on Saturday. Kickoff is slated for 6:30pmCT at Blue Raider Stadium, 928 Russell Road, Columbia, KY.

The Blue Raiders (2-0) are coming off a 44-15 win over Ave Maria (Fla.) last week at home and looks to continue its winning ways against the Mid-South Conference. Lindsey Wilson has won 15 straight against its conference foes.


Pikeville enters Saturday's game with a 1-2 record after falling at home to Bethel (Tenn.) 62-31 last Thursday.

The matchup marks the first time that Lindsey Wilson and Pikeville have met on the gridiron since the 2014 season. Lindsey Wilson owns a 5-0 all-time record against the Bears.

Despite the unblemished record against Pikeville, the Blue Raiders have had their battles with the orange-cladded men to the East.

Lindsey Wilson won a 59-52 shootout in the Blue Raiders' inaugural season in 2010. The next season, Lindsey Wilson won a nail biter in Pikeville 28-24. The last time the Bears came to Columbia, No. 24 Lindsey Wilson defeated No. 25 Pikeville 35-26 on Sept. 21, 2013.

The Blue Raiders enter the game as the top-scoring team in the Mid-South Conference -- averaging 47 points per game. The Lindsey Wilson defense is also off to a good start, allowing just 14 points per game -- second-best in the MSC.

Pikeville is averaging 33.3 points per game while surrendering on average 36.3 points.
