Saturday night roundup
Here's what went down today, with the exception of Eastern Illinois' tilt at Hawai'i, which doesn't kick off for another 20 minutes or so. I plan to be fast asleep when that one wraps up, so I'll have to follow up tomorow.
- Jacksonville State 28, Eastern Knetucky 0 - Preseason favorites shut out at home, fall behind in title race. School record 75-yard punt from JSU's Zach Walden, by the way.
- Florida A&M 24, Tennessee State 22 - Another overtime thriller in a classic for the Tigers, but they come out on the wrong end of this one.
- Tennessee Tech 20, Murray State 14 - Another OT nailbiter. Murray's Taylor Lanigan gets a TD on a 93-yard fumble recovery. Unfortunately, that one play eclipses Murray's rushing total by a wide margin, and nearly matches their passing total. Hey folks, don't look now, but the Golden Eagles have the league lead all to themselves.
- UT-Martin 20, Austin Peay State 10 - The Govs threaten early, taking a 10-6 lead at the half, but Martin shuts them out from there on for the win. AP's Mark Cunningham threw for 297 yards, 21 for 35, with two interceptions and a TD. Martin's Donald Chapman racks up 155 on the ground.
- Southeast Missouri State 19, Samford 14 - The second half was all Bulldogs, but the first half was all Redhawks, and fortunately for the home team that was enough.
G'night, folks.

Tech just dominated Murray, but always made the stupid mistake at the absolute worst time to keep the Racers in it.
Consider our final possession of regulation. We had the ball on Murray's 20 yard line, minute and a half left to go, preparing for the game winning field goal. Over the next three plays, we manage to lose 40 yards (only five of which were penalty) and have to punt.
But anyway, it's good to be first even for just a few days. Bring on Martin!
