The Nov. 4 football contest between Austin Peay State University and Tennessee Tech has been selected as the “Wildcard Selection” in the league’s Game of the Week football package on ESPN3. The game will kickoff at 1:30 p.m. CT at Tucker Stadium in Cookeville.
When the league’s eight-contest Game of the Week schedule was announced in July, the Oct. 28, Nov.4, Nov. 11 and Nov. 18 games were deemed “Wildcard” dates where the matchup would not be announced until roughly two weeks prior to the contest.
Austin Peay and Tennessee Tech have played 50 previous times with the Golden Eagles holding a 32-18 advantage, including winning four games in a row. The game is part of the Sgt. York Trophy series, which is contested between the four OVC football-playing programs from the state of Tennessee. If the Governors win the game, they will claim the program’s first Sgt. York Trophy (the series started in 2007).
