A former Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year will try to punch his ticket to the FCS Championship on Friday night.
[autotag]Lindsey Scott[/autotag], who began his collegiate career at LSU, has become a prolific playmaker at Incarnate Word. He and the Cardinals are traveling north to face FCS powerhouse North Dakota State.
Scott played his high school ball at Zachary, the same place as current LSU commit [autotag]Kylin Jackson[/autotag]. Among other stops, he also spent a couple years at Nicholls just before ending up at UIW.
Incarnate Word, the nation’s leading offense, is coming off a 66-63 shootout victory over Sacramento State where Scott totaled 385 yards and six touchdowns.
The semi-final contest will kick off at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN2. According to BetMGM, North Dakota State is an 8.5-point favorite.
Things have come a little easier for the Bison, which has won both of its playoff games by two scores or more. Scott’s Cardinals have been in back-to-back one-possession battles.
The two programs haven’t met since 2014.
