LU-Belleville 34 - 31 Concordia

On Saturday, Lindenwood University-Belleville defeated Concordia University 34-31.

     On Saturday, the Concordia University Cardinals lost to the Lindenwood University-Belleville Lynx 34-31. The Cardinals lead 31-20 with under eight minutes remaining, but the Lynx scored two late touchdowns to secure the victory.  The Cardinals were driving the ball down the field, and in my judgement, were hosed on two calls near the end of the game.  A long completion was ruled out of bounds, followed by a mismanaged clock situation that should have given the Cardinals 1 or 2 more seconds to run a final play.  The referees stormed off of the field as if they were suddenly involved in a fire drill.
