From the Ohio Valley Conference
BRENTWOOD, Tenn. -- The November 12 Tennessee Tech at Tennessee State game has been selected as a "Wildcard Selection" in the league's Game of the Week football package on ESPN3. The game will kick off at 3 p.m. CT at Hale Stadium.
When the league's eight-contest Game of the Week schedule was announced in July, the Oct. 29, Nov. 5, Nov. 12 and Nov. 19 games were deemed "Wildcard" dates where the matchup would not be announced until roughly two weeks prior to the contest.
Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech will be playing for the 30th time with the Tigers holding an 18-11 advantage in the series. TSU had won four in a row in the series until TTU pulled out a 30-24 victory a season ago. The game will be the final of the 2016 Sgt. York Championship and will likely decide the championship, which the Tigers have not won since 2013 and the Golden Eagles have not claimed outright since 2009.
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.
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.
