Tech football holds off Lindenwood for Homecoming victory

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – It was fitting that Tennessee Tech's battle with Lindenwood came down to one final play. After all, the two teams had been swapping scores back and forth the entire day. With 14 seconds to go, the visiting Lions lined up for a two-point conversion trailing 35-34. It was a gutsy, but smart play for the visitors. If it was successful, Tech would have to find a way to score in the final seconds.
