What a way to start the 2025 football season for the Lions. I don't know about you, but I don't have many finger nails left after the first two weeks of the season.


After beating Marion 35-34 and scoring the winning touchdown with just over three minutes, left, the Lions get the go ahead touchdown against the Hornets with just thirty eight seconds remaining.


It was Johnny Miller's cut back and five yard run that game the Lions the 21-14 win over Nashville.


If you missed the game, here are the game highlights as heard with Keenan Clark and myself on NewsRadio WJPF and on our YouTube channel.


Here are the comparison stats from Friday NIght's win over the Nashville Hornets:
