After a promising start to Friday’s game in Macon, Kirksville didn’t have much going for it on a blustery and dreary October night. The Tigers’ Blake Nesbitt got an interception on Macon’s opening drive, which Kirksville cashed in with the first of two field goals from Beckett Lyons. Kirksville added a safety shortly after to take a 5-0 lead.
After adding a field goal to make the game 8-0, Kirksville’s offense became anemic and first downs were impossible to come by. After electing to kick the extra point after a sustained drive to make it 8-7, Macon forced a turnover on downs before scoring from 42 yards out in what would be the game’s final touchdown.
The Tigers finished with roughly 70 yards of total offense, while Macon had approximately 270 yards. At one point, Kirksville went three-and-out on eight of nine possessions. Joel Feeney was 6-of-14 passing for right around 50 yards.
Kirksville falls to 2-6, while Macon improves to 6-2.
The Tigers host Festus on Saturday at 1 p.m.
