GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson College football team's hopes for a Mid-South Conference East Division title will have to wait another season as the Blue Raiders fell 56-27 today to No. 4-ranked Georgetown College at Toyota Stadium.

With the win, the Tigers (9-0, 5-0) claim the division title and an automatic bid into the national playoffs. Lindsey Wilson falls to 6-3 overall and 2-2 in the East with the loss.

Georgetown jumped out to a 7-0 lead as quarterback Neal Pawsat hit Adam Schmitz over the middle for a 20-yard touchdown. The Tiger score ended Lindsey Wilson's streak of scoring first in each game this season.

Georgetown looked as if they would add to its lead as kicker Alex Kreimer lined up for a 28-yard field goal attempt, but Lindsey Wilson's Mikal Moore sprinted off the edge and blocked the kick and scooped the ball for a touchdown to tie the game at 7-7.

The score -- Moore's first of his career -- covered 77 yards.

Georgetown sprinted out to a 21-7 lead on its next two possessions with a pair of Pawsat touchdown throws. Pawsat finished the game 24-of-36 for 415 yards and six touchdowns.
