            RECOGNIZING LINDSEY WILSON COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Lindsey Wilson 
College football team of Columbia, Kentucky, for winning the 2020 NAIA 
National Football Championship.
  The Lindsey Wilson football team finished their undefeated season as 
national champs Monday night, beating Northwestern College from Iowa 
45-13, adding another championship to their season after already 
winning the Mid-South Conference. Even more impressively, the Blue 
Raiders dominated opponents every game during the regular season, 
outscoring them by an average of 32 points a game.
  Lindsey Wilson College did not have a football team from 1935 to 
2009. Football was reintroduced to campus in 2010, after an 86-year 
absence, and it has not taken long for the Blue Raiders to reach the 
pinnacle of NAIA football.
  I commend Athletic Director Willis Pooler and Head Coach Chris Oliver 
for building a championship-caliber program in just over a decade. This 
accomplishment is also a testament to every player's hard work and 
dedication during an unprecedented year.
  Once again, congratulations to the national champion Lindsey Wilson 
College football team on this outstanding achievement.
