Friday night notes - Saturday is scrimmage central

Here's what OVC teams have up on their Web sites this evening. Nearly every team in the league plans a scrimmage for Saturday:

Austin Peay is preparing for a Sturday scrimmage, the Governors' second (that's a PDF file). They'll have another Tuesday, as coach Carroll McCray tries to season a team with just four seniors and eight juniors.

Eastern Illinois has turned a 7 p.m. Saturday scrimmage into a 10:30 a.m. Saturday practice. It'll be the team's final practice before classes begin at EIU Monday. Coach Bob Spoo was back with the team Friday after a minor medical procedure in St. Louis on Wednesday.

Eastern Kentucky has an update on the Colonels' second week of camp. They'll also scrimmage on Saturday, with classes starting at EKU Monday.

Jacksonville State has nearly filled out its 56-man travel roster in advance of the opener Sept. 2 at Furman. The Gamecocks also will scrimmage Saturday, at 10:30 a.m.

Samford cancelled its second practice Friday to give players a chance to rest going into a Saturday scrimmage, set for 9 a.m. As always, there's a new photo album.

Southeast Missouri's getting ready for some scrimmage action on Saturday, too. It's at 6 p.m.
