Sounds like Lindenwood may be opting out of Spring Football. Hearing that they are banged up from the first two weeks of camp, and are not interested in playing the GLVC schedule that has been published. I am sure that the spring schedule is much less important to a veteran team vs a young team, but I would still see a chance to play the entire roster, just to see what you have, would help set the roster/depth charts/redshirts for the upcoming 2021 Fall Season.

Checked the ESPN schedules and see the Lindenwood v Southwest Baptist game is cancelled. Checked the Lindenwood webpage and "Due to injuries at critical positions, we believe it is in the best interest of our football program and student-athletes to engage in a traditional spring practice schedule and focus on preparations for the fall season".
So five games are lost - the countable cross division game this Saturday, the three games in the East Division, and whoever gets paired up with a winless Lindenwood in the championship week.

I'm adjusting my finish predictions now that Lindenwood forfeited all their games due to injuries:
U Indy with a ton of key guys out (McK, Strickland, Matio, Peterson, Borske, more?) but I'll still take U Indy's program tradition to win it all. S&T and Truman are a toss up but I'll go with Truman because I like the small town programs. McKendree over Quincy because they have that matchup at home although I'd like to see Quincy win that one and finish above McKendree. And pulling for Jewell over Southwest Bap too but Bap should win that one as hard as they recruit Texas etc.
1) U Indy
2) Truman
3) S&T
4) McKendree
5) Southwest Bap
6) Quincy
7) Jewell
8) Lindenwood

They're being quiet on the McKeller absence? U Indy had to move a WR to RB. McKeller solid back up back Clinton not there either. WR Mateo did play. But add Mavungu and now Hall to the injury list - their two better DBs? And Buisman! That's seven key guys. Doubt if Lindenwood had that many out to forfeit the season but don't know.
My take on the game: Sounded like Quincy had some new young guys on the OL so don't know if U Indy DL that good or not yet. They controlled the game. And left side of U Indy OL McHale, Singh and Alexis was 75% of the runs. After a slow start what did look good were the U Indy receivers. Bell quicker than snot. Matio sneaky getting open. Bentley getting his feet wet. HBack and TE caught passes. Hot read to Derrick. And Topper so consistent.

And hats off to the online productions by Jewell and Southwest Baptist. Both with experienced guys on the audio and thanks to SBU for turning on Truman's radio feed. If teams have to use or want to use students for training experience then at least they could pair them with an older guy that sees something and naturally talks. Students seem to try to find plays that match phrases they already have in their head or they labor through painfully long sentences?
