Linberger powered Baldwin Wallace to a 49-10 victory over Capital with 166 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 25 carries. His four rushing touchdowns tied the Baldwin Wallace single-game record, while his 6.6 yards per carry helped lead the Yellow Jackets to 294 rushing yards and 425 yards of total offense.
