Tigers' miscues aid LWC in 35-14 win

Georgetown College football did something no one else has been able to do this spring against Lindsey Wilson College. In the NAIA Game of the Week, the Tigers (2-1) responded to the Blue Raiders (3-0) opening drive score – the first team to score any points in the first two quarters.

LWC scored on the ensuing drive for a lead that seemed to settle into a defensive battle, until one of Georgetown's miscues took the game on another route. The home team eventually fell 35-14.

The play that seemed to turn the tide was a high snap over the punter's head deep in GC territory. The scramble was on and LWC scooped it up for the score. The game was a two-touchdown affair and it never got closer.

GC's defense kept the potent Blue Raider offense almost two touchdowns off their season average, while the offense had its chances.

One drive ended with an interception in the Tiger endzone, while a fumble inside the 10 stopped another.

GC outgained the Blue Raiders – 505 to 318. Coming into the game opponents had managed just 144.5 against the LWC defense. Hunter Krause completed 24 passes for 309 yards, while Zach Dampier had the touchdown pass.

Darius Barbour completed the opening drive of 76 yards on seven plays that took more than three and a half minutes off the clock. Tamir Jones had a beautiful leaping grab for a 37-yard score on Georgetown's final drive.

The Tigers are back at home 3:30 pm Friday hosting Campbellsville University.
