Lions’ defense handles Hays Missouri Southern contains QB, posts first shutout in nine seasons Brawner’s fumble recovery at the Tigers’ 15 late in the second quarter set up a 15-yard run on a reverse by wide receiver Daniel Thompson, who cut inside of Johnny Johnson’s block that sealed the defender on the perimeter.
“The first half we were opportunistic,” Tatum said. “There’s no rule that says you get the ball on the 15 and it’s an automatic score. You still have to put it in the end zone, and we executed perfectly on the reverse we had schemed for them.” The Lions added two second-half scores on Collin Howard’s 30-yard option keeper around right end late in the third quarter and Hinspeter’s 15-yard toss to Henderson early in the fourth quarter. The Lions gained 179 yards in the second half and 287 for the game. Hinspeter hit 8 of 21 passes for 111 yards, including five to Henderson for 93 yards. Howard gained 77 yards on eight carries. “At halftime, we talked about how we left a lot of points out there, with the short fields our defense gave us,” Hinspeter said. “We said let’s go out and play better offensive football. The main thing was to stay on the field and move the chains on third down. That’s something we’ve been good at in the past, but we’ve struggled the last few weeks.” The Lions, who converted 7 of 17 third downs compared to the Tigers’ 3 of 16, play host to Central Missouri on Saturday afternoon.
