The Cardinals  open Great Lakes Valley Conference play this week as they travel to new league opponent Lindenwood.  

YOU SHOULD NOTE
• The Cardinals are looking to rebound from a rough second half in week two. Jewell came out strong in the opening two quarters, leading 21-14 at the break but allowed 35 unanswered points in the final 30 minutes. 
• Quarterback Will Schneider went 21-of-39 passing for 271 and a touchdown on Saturday against West Texas. The 21 completions are the most for a Cardinal QB since Brad Strauss' 22 at Texas A&M-Kingsville in November 2017. 
• Schneider and company enter the week ranked fourth in the GLVC in pass offense. Ishmial Mitchell and Jalik Jaggwe have each posted a 100-plus yard receiving game and two touchdowns thus far while TJ Guillory added a career-best 99 yard performance last week. Both Jaggwe and Mitchell are ranked in the top-10 in the conference in receiving yards per game at 84.5 and 66 respectively. 
• Kicker Dalton Dye has the Cardinals tied for first in the league alongside Indianapolis and Truman after hitting all five point after attempts.  
• Jewell has found a way to get the first down when they need to as they currently rank second in the conference with a 48.5 third down conversion percentage and tied for second at 66.7 percent on fourth downs. 
• The defense has been led by a strong linebacker core, including redshirt senior Brock Geisz who leads the GLVC with 13.5 tackles per game, including 14 total solos.
