Injured: Nick Brandon (knee-day to day), Nathan Coker (virus-will play), Aaron McGarvey (knee-doubtful)

Notes: Lynn defeated Collinsville in there only meeting in 1996 19-15. Collinsville assistant Bobby Beckett was head coach of that team...Collinsville is 5-1 all-time in second round games...Collinsville has set the school record for most points in a season with 406. That eclipses the mark set in 2010...Lynn spent two weeks at number one during weeks 7 and 8...Last week was Collinsville's first playoff win since 2001...Collinsville players Shon McElrath and DeShawn Moore visited as prospects at the Jacksonville State-EKU game last weekend.

Quoting Head Coach Alan Beckett:
On Practice
"We came in Sunday and lifted, watched film and went through pass scale. Monday and tuesday were very business like. In the playoffs the whole process starts over each week and you have to get your competitive juices going again."

Penalties
"155 yards in penalties was rediculous. We were very undisciplined. I thought we did a great job of overcoming adversity but you can't have that many negative plays."

Lynn
"Lynn found a way to win the game last week. They have great playmakers. They have thrown for an absurd amout of yardage. What stands out is how physical. They play very hard and never turn down somone to hit. There is a reason they go deep in the playoffs every year."

"They run lots of trick plays, fake punts, onside kicks. Offensively, they have more formations and motions than an arena league team. That region really knows how to score points. Alignment will be very important."

Last Week
"I thought we did a really good job defensively. We gave up scores after stopping them and getting penalties. We had lots of total yards on offense. We missed a fieldgoal, didn't get in another time and had a touchdown called back another. However, we had a nice winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter."
