Caldwell County grad Jaylen Boyd and No. 10-ranked Lindsey Wilson football made a statement Thursday night with a 58-3 win over 14th-ranked Bethel at Wildcat Stadium in McKenzie, Tenn.
The Blue Raiders (5-0, 2-0 in the Mid-South Conference Bluegrass Division) won every aspect of the NAIA top-15 showdown in their most complete game of the season.
Lindsey Wilson scored 58 straight points after the Wildcats (3-2, 0-1) took a three-point lead five minutes into the game.
The Blue Raiders outgained their host 426-162 in total yardage, including running for 244 yards against a Bethel defense that had allowed just over 109 yards per game against NAIA competition this season.
Boyd finished the game with 115 rushing yards on just nine carries. It is his fifth career 100-yard rushing game.
Boyd’s night included a 3-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter — his third rushing TD of the season.
Lindsey Wilson returns to action at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12, as Cumberland (Tenn.) visits Blue Raider Stadium in a Mid-South Conference Bluegrass Division tilt.
