JSU v. EKU

[Cocky]

10-0 JSU at the half.

Gamecocks looking much better so far, with Clay Green rolling up more yards so far than he had in the entire game against UT-Martin.

EKU is keeping pressure on Matt Hardin, but he's managed to pull off a couple excellent completions.

The Colonels are in unfamiliar territory, without the lead at halftime. I hope they're not saving it for the second half this time. Mark Dunn is dangerous when he gets his engines running and finds room to run.

Elsewhere in the OVC, it's 3-0 FAMU over Tennessee State with 3:39 left in the first half. Rattlers have the ball at their 20-something.

Huh? I'd like to forget last week too, but forgetting won't erase the loss to UT-Martin.

I am proud if the Gamers. But, I'm shock at EKU not showing up in the second half. Thought it would be a much better game.
If the Gamers hadn't lost to UT-Farm last week, we'd be in the cat-bird seat. Oh well, Murray's up Thursday night.
