EIU, JSU TO PLAY ON ESPN3 FOR OVC GAME OF THE WEEK(이스턴일리노이대학교,미국대학풋볼) Eastern Illinois University
On Friday afternoon the Ohio Valley Conference released the final preset game of its eight game package that will air on ESPN3 this fall as part of the OVC Game of the Week. It was announced that Eastern Illinois will host Jacksonville State on Saturday, October 21 as the fourth of the eight games in the series. The final four games in the OVC's eight game package will be determined during the season as Wild Card contests.
The game will serve as EIU's homecoming game which will be the 100th homecoming football game played on campus. Kickoff at O'Brien Field is set for 2 p.m. Eastern Illinois and Jacksonville State have combined to win the last five outright Ohio Valley Conference Championships with the two schools winning 13 total OVC crowns since the 2001 season. JSU has won three straight in the series and leads the all-time series between the two schools 8-6. JSU won during its last trip to Charleston in 2015, 24-3, when the Gamecocks were ranked No.1 in the country.
This marks the fifth-straight season the league has produced the Game of the Week package in conjunction with Tupelo Raycom (formerly WebStream Sports). Tupelo Raycom, a Raycom Media company, brings together Tupelo-Honey (founded 1996) and WebStream Sports (2006). With offices in New York, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Nashville and Los Angeles the company develops new programming and delivers live events, music specials and branded features for broadcast, digital and in-venue entertainment.
Kevin Ingram, host of "The Wake Up Zone" on 104.5 The Zone in Nashville, will handle play-by-play duties while Bob Belvin, on-air talent and contributor at 100.7 FM/AM 540 (ESPN Clarksville), will provide analysis. The duo has worked together each of the past five years in the league's TV package.
The OVC Football Game of the Week package is part of an overall multiyear agreement with ESPN which was announced in October 2013.
