COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech's road football game at Jacksonville State on Saturday, Oct. 8, has been selected as the third game in the package of Ohio Valley Conference contests to be aired by ESPN3. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. CT against the last season's national runner-up.

The OVC announced on Wednesday that the network would air eight league contests, including four pre-determined games and four 'wild card" games to be selected roughly 12 days before the contest. The first two games were announced Thursday, with the second two – including the Golden Eagles at the Gamecocks – announced Friday.

This marks the fourth-straight season the league has produced the Game of the Week package in conjunction with WebStream Sports.

WebStream Sports, an Indianapolis-based company which is a proven leader in video production, streaming video and content creation. The company, founded in 2006, produces more than 1,000 events annually and has also served as a web streaming consultant for the OVC for the past four years.

Kevin Ingram, host of "The Wake Up Zone" on 104.5 The Zone in Nashville, will handle play-by-play duties while Bob Belvin, on-air talent and contributor at 100.7 FM/AM 540 (ESPN Clarksville), will provide analysis. The duo has worked together each of the past four years in the league's TV package.

The OVC Football Game of the Week package is part of an overall multiyear agreement with ESPN which was announced in October 2013.
