“We have come a long way. We have had to scramble around a little bit because of some injuries, but some of the second-string guys have stepped up,” he said. “I think we are pretty good right now. I think we are ‘locked up’ with the offensive line.

“I think we are more of an ‘athletic’ offensive line. We are not real big, but we can move around pretty good. We’ve had a pretty good season so far. I’ve only had a couple of games where I did not grade as high as I should have.”

Lindsey credits Bobcat offensive line coach Ron Brewer with keeping the players sharp.

“Coach Brewer demands excellence all of the time,” he said. “He does not mess up and he wants you on your p’s and q’s at all times. We work the whole time at practice with no breaks. We are always doing something.”

Next up for the Bobcats is a matchup with Pearl River in the 78th annual ‘Catfight.’ Lindsey knows the Wildcats will bring a quality team into Bobcat Stadium/Sim Cooley Field on Thursday night.

“They have a pretty good defensive line with some athletes,” he said. “I know if the offensive line blocks good and does what it is supposed to do, we should win that game. But, it’s going to be tough. Pearl River is a big rival game and they have their backs against the wall because they are already down one in the conference.

“But, if we come out and do what we are supposed to do, then we should be all right.”

After the Pearl River game, the Bobcats return home for Homecoming against Southwest on Oct. 11. Games at Mississippi Delta on Oct. 16 and Gulf Coast on Oct. 23 will close the regular season.

But, Lindsey hopes the Bobcats will continue into postseason play.

“After Pearl River, we have to take care of Southwest because they can surprise us,” he said. “Hopefully, we can end up in the same position as last year and be undefeated when we play Gulf Coast. Hopefully, we can win and be the top seed in the playoffs.”

Lindsey is an art education major and hopes to become an art teacher one day. He is looking to graduate in December and would to play senior college football if he has the opportunity.

“I am going to try and graduate in December,” he said. “If I don’t, I will make it out of here in May and try to get some offers and go play D-I ball. I would not mind playing at Southern Miss. I’ve talked to them and other colleges like Louisiana Tech, South Alabama and Delta State.”
