Mid-game report

Here's a quick look at what's happening so far in the OVC tonight.

I've got JSU vs. UT-Martin on via OVCsports.tv. I know I had some questions about the service after media day earlier this summer, but I'm pleased with my $8 purchase so far tonight. It beats driving to Martin, Tenn.

The Skyhawks are looking strong so far, with a 10-7 lead at halftime. The UTM o-line is giving their backs plenty of room to run, and that's dangerous with Marcus Dawson and Donald Chapman in the backfield. JSU's offense has struggled, getting only one first down in the first half until their scoring drive late in the second quarter.

Murray State has #6 Illinois State tied at halftime. That would be a heck of an upset if the Racers can get the lead and hang on. EDIT (7:25 p.m.): SportsNetwork.com lists this game tied at 14, but ESPN says it's 14-7 Illinois State.

Eastern Illinois is up 14-7 at halftime at Samford. Most have the Panthers listed as big favorites in this one, but the Bulldogs have to have plenty of hope being down only a touchdown at the half.

Tennessee State is down 7-0 at Vanderbilt in the first quarter. Hopefully the Tigers can get something going and make some noise against their "big-time" neighbors.
