Eastern Illinois is going to run the table in the OVC this year, starting Saturday against EKU.
Much like the last two weeks, Jacksonville State will need all four quarters to put Murray State away and the Gamecocks may not succeed in their conference home opener. This is a toss-up and I'm picking JSU only because its at Burgess-Snow Field.
UTM will handle SEMO on the road. The Skyhawks only have two potential hiccups between them and being unbeaten in the conference heading into the season finale at home against EIU and this isn't one of them.
The Tech faithful here at AGS don't seem to have much faith in TTU, so I'll pick Indiana State to pull away from the Eagles in the second half.
These "classic" games are hard to read sometimes. Unless one team is Division II Central State and the other is 3-1 Tennessee State.
