COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With Southeast Missouri coming into town on Saturday for this week’s football game at Tucker Stadium, the Tennessee Tech squad is ready to end its current four-game slide. Through a rough stretch to open the 2021 campaign, there has been progress along the way. Now the Golden Eagles will try to apply that toward a victory on Saturday against the Redhawks. Kickoff is slated for 1:35 p.m. Central. Roger Ealey and Frank Harrell will provide the call for 98.5 KISS FM, while Dylan Vazzano and Sam Brooks will handle broadcast duties on ESPN+ (subscription required).
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – When Tennessee Tech takes to the field on Saturday, the race for the Ohio Valley Conference championship will truly be underway. The Golden Eagles kick off the OVC slate with a visit from Eastern Illinois. The game is set for a 1:35 p.m. kickoff. Roger Ealey and Frank Harrell will provide the radio call on 98.5 KISS FM, while Dylan Vazzano and Sam Brooks will handle the broadcast duties on ESPN+ (subscription required).
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – These are the games that these guys dream about – running out of the tunnel at Neyland Stadium with nearly 100,000 screaming fans, taking on a team that many on the roster grew up watching every Saturday. As Tennessee Tech takes to Shields-Watkins Field on Saturday to take on their Football Bowl Subdivision brothers, the Tennessee Volunteers, the game probably means just as much to them – if not more -- than any other game they’ll play in their careers. While it’s only been five years since these two teams locked horns, it is a series that mostly saw its heyday in the late 1940s and ‘50s. In the six meetings, Tennessee has outscored Tech 297-20, including four shutouts in 1947, 1948, 1951 and 2016. However, as the game dawns on Saturday, that statistic is irrelevant. Saturday is about showing what they can do against some of the elite student-athletes in the country.
