While Lincoln put up plenty of points on Friday, the same can't be said for Heart Butte. The Lynx simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Warriors 82-0. That looming 82-0 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Lynx yet this season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Lincoln to victory, but perhaps none more so than Austen Salber, who rushed for 23 yards and two scores, and also threw for 35 yards and one TD. Salber was even better on defense, forcing two fumbles, making two total tackles, and defending one pass in addition to snagging three interceptionstwo of which were returned for touchdowns. Kayden Riddle was in the mix too, providing Lincoln with three touchdowns.
Lincoln didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Salber. Lincoln received some extra help from Riddle, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
Special teams played a big role in the game for Lincoln, adding 16 points to the final score. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Riddle, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.
