OVC: Week 7 Review and Power Rankings

October 19, 2016October 19, 2016 JSUSoutherner

TweetTwo of the OVC’s matchups this weekend came down to the wire with EIU and TSU holding on to their wins because of last second defensive stands.

OVC: Week 6 Review

October 11, 2016October 10, 2016 JSUSoutherner

OVC: Week 5 Review

October 4, 2016 JSUSoutherner

TweetAnother week in the books and there’s only one thing that still certain: Austin Peay is still terrible. Tennessee State is still undefeated after coming back from a 16 point deficit against UT-Martin, #16 EIU was upset by SEMO, and the Colonels are apparently allergic to wins against D-I opponents. Austin Peay 17 Murray State 45 KD Humphries threw the... Read More
