COLUMBIA, Ky. – The No. 11-ranked Lindsey Wilson football team picked up a 45-2 victory over Cumberland (Tenn.) Saturday at Parnell Family Stadium on Senior Day.

Cash threw his first touchdown of the day to Hicks for a 12-yard touchdown increasing the Blue Raider lead to 12-0 in the first quarter.

Early in the second quarter, the Blue Raiders were stopped on a fourth and goal on the Phoenix three-yard line. On the very next play, Chevis Elliot made a great read on a Luke Holloway pass making a diving interception falling into the endzone to give LWC a 19-0 lead with 10:33 to play in the half. The Blue Raiders looked to add to their lead near the end of the half but the 44-yard field goal attempt was blocked. Lindsey Wilson headed into the locker room with a 19-0 lead.

On the opening kickoff of the second half, Lindsey Wilson forced a fumble on the return and Elliot ran it back 15 yards for the touchdown. The Phoenix's only points of the game came on an intentional grounding in the endzone by the Blue Raiders.

Adriene Bailey recorded an interception in the endzone to halt a Cumberland drive that saw them get to the Blue Raider 11. Lindsey Wilson took advantage of the turnover putting together a six-play 80-yard drive capped off by a 46-yard touchdown pass from Cash to Hicks to make it 32-2 with 42 seconds left in the third quarter.

On the first play after a blocked punt, Cash found Davontaye Saunders for a three-yard touchdown. Cash threw his fourth touchdown late in the fourth quarter to Seth Phillips for four yards giving the Blue Raiders the 45-2 advantage.
