Golden Eagle football travels to Southeast Missouri on Saturday

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. -- In the midst of a tough start, the Tennessee Tech football team continues to push on, ready to hit the road once again as they head to Cape Girardeau, Mo., to take on Southeast Missouri for a 1 p.m. Ohio Valley Conference contest on Saturday. Despite the 0-6 start to the season, there's still several things for the Golden Eagles to play for as the 2017 campaign winds down, but the focus this week is trying to get that first win under their belts -- and the Redhawks are a good opportunity to attempt that. In the teams' 25 meetings, the Golden Eagles hold a 15-10 record, including winning seven of the last 10 contests.
