KSU-Lincoln game will be battle of QBs

Frankfort, KY -- Kentucky State’s football home opener could be an air show. The Thorobreds (1-0) host Lincoln University Saturday with kickoff set for 5 p.m. at Alumni Stadium.

Both teams’ quarterbacks had big days in their season openers last week.
Lincoln lost on the road last Saturday to Cheyney, 21-19. In that game freshman quarterback Doug Cook went 30-for-47 for 317 yards and two touchdowns. He also threw two interceptions.

Senior quarterback Jerel Noland earned SIAC offensive player of the week honors for his performance in the Thorobreds’ 39-21 win over Central State Sunday in the Dayton Classic. Noland went 13-for-16 for 218 yards. He threw for four touchdowns and had no interceptions.

Lincoln rallied late last week before falling to Cheyney.
