Holy crap
I just signed on to check the score of the Eastern Kentucky-Tennessee Tech game, and got a complete surprise.TTU 27, #24 EKU 14.
The Golden Eagles had been 0-3 to start the year,
with losses to UT-Chattanooga, Gardner-Webb and Middle Tennessee State. Only the GW game was close.EKU was the pre-season pick to win the league, and was looking forward to a bright season after besting their rivals Western Kentucky just two weeks ago. Last week they dropped a heartbreaker to Western Carolina.
EKU was expected to win handily.
As it turned out, the Colonels had what looked like a repeat of the WCU game, getting a lead early and then disappearing in the second half. Eastern QB Josh Greco was 21 of 35 for 211 yards passing, with an interception and a touchdown, and another TD on foot. Mark Dunn added 104 yards on the ground in a 150-yard ground game for the Colonels. EKU lost three of four fumbles. Tech got it done with 114 yards through the air from Lee Sweeny, who was 10 of 15 with an interception and two touchdowns. Of the Golden Eagles' 187 rushing yards, 110 came from Anthony Ash. Stats are from the box score at sportsnetwork.com.
Wow.

Wow.
EKU certainly is not out of the race, and Tech's upset isn't the first time they've pulled that off.
We should remember that in Jax State's first two championship seasons in the OVC, we lost one game each season. The first time it was at Murray State, and in 2004 it was at Tennessee Tech.
"I thought that Tech was looking at a very long season."
Boy, I did too! Oh me of little faith! What a great win.
And don't forget that Tech had two possessions inside the red zone in the first half where they did not score.
EKU leads our all time series something like 46-16-3. Well not anymore baby! 46-17-3!
