The Lincoln Blue Tigers had the odds stacked against them Saturday at Dwight T. Reed Stadium.
The Blue Tigers entered the Senior Day contest against the seventh-ranked Central Missouri Mules with 38 available players.
Considering the circumstances, the 63-27 loss is not near as bad as it could’ve been.
Thursday night’s game went south from the opening kickoff for the Lincoln Blue Tigers. The Blue Tigers fumbled the opening kickoff and trailed 14-0 just more than five minutes in after the Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds scored the opening touchdown eight plays after the fumble, forced a punt after just four plays on defense and then struck for a 92-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the ensuing drive.
