Eastern Illinois Hosts Tennessee Tech Saturday

Eastern Illinois and Tennessee Tech both look to snap losing skids as the two teams wrap up the month of October with an OVC contest this Saturday.  

 

EIU returned to conference play this past Saturday with a road loss at Tennessee State as EIU has lost two in a row dropping to 2-5, 1-1 in the OVC.  

 

Tennessee Tech (1-6) enters at 0-3 in the OVC and lost its fifth straight game last weekend with an overtime setback at Kennesaw State.  

 

A win by EIU would give the Panthers the second OVC victory of the year, the most by the Panthers in an OVC season since the 2018 campaign.

 

 Eastern Illinois' defense has been able to get to the quarterback over the last three games as the Panthers finished with four sacks at Tennessee State.  EIU has recorded 13 of its 15 sacks this season in the last three games. 

 

Game time is 2 pm Saturday. Hear all the action starting at 1:30 pm on WHOW and all its digital platforms.
