SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Ramone Green Jr. ran for two touchdowns and Missouri State recorded six rushing touchdowns in a 48-14 win over FCS-member Lindenwood on Saturday.

Green crashed in from the 1-yard line on both his scoring runs. Breezy Dubar scored from the 10, Isaiah Myers had a 24-yard touchdown jaunt, Connor Lair punched it in from the 1 and Henry Belin IV did so from the 16.

Green's second touchdown with 7:13 left in the third ended a 10-play, 69-yard drive that lasted 4:21 and pushed the Bears' lead (1-1) to 41-0.

The Lions (1-2) got on the board when Pops Battle threw a 15-yard touchdown to Drew Krobath three minutes later. Lindenwood ended the scoring for both teams when Battle threw a 32-yard touchdown to Elijah Roy with 12:21 left to play.
