Lions play Lincoln (Mo.) in St. Louis Gateway Classic Doubleheader

St. Louis, MO - Missouri Southern isn’t quite sure what kind of defense it will face today against Lincoln.

“Lincoln has been very multiple on defense,” Lions coach Bart Tatum said. “They’ve shown in exactly one and one-half of their games an eight-man front … very aggressive, a stop-the-run type look. And then they have been very base defense-oriented the other game and a half. We’re preparing for both, which is the only choice we have.”

Regardless of the defense, the Lions need to be more productive on offense. The Lions gained 264 yards in last week’s 30-14 loss to Washburn, and more than one-third of them came in a 99-yard scoring drive in the second quarter.

Kickoff is at 11 a.m. for the first game of the St. Louis Gateway Classic doubleheader at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, home of the NFL’s St. Louis Rams.
