Eastern Illinois Looks To Finish Season Strong

Eastern Illinois wraps up the 2019 season this Saturday as the Panthers play at No. 19 Austin Peay. 

 

EIU led No. 15 Southeast Missouri at the half last week but could not hold on as the Panthers dropped to 1-10 on the season, 1-6 in the OVC.  Austin Peay enters the weekend tied with SEMO for first place in the OVC standings at 8-3 overall, 6-1 in the OVC.  APSU is looking to lock up its first-ever bid to the FCS playoffs. 

 

Isaiah Hill was named the Ohio Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week following his efforts against No. 15 Southeast Missouri.  Hill hauled in 13 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown.  It was the second time this season that Hill has caught 13 or more passes this season and finished with 150 or more yards in a game.

 

Game time Saturday is 2 pm from Clarksville, Tennessee. Hear all the action on WHOW and at dewittdailynews.com.
