CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. -- In the midst of a tough start, the Tennessee Tech football team continues to push on, ready to hit the road once again as they head to Cape Girardeau, Mo., to take on Southeast Missouri for a 1 p.m. Ohio Valley Conference contest on Saturday. Despite the 0-6 start to the season, there's still several things for the Golden Eagles to play for as the 2017 campaign winds down, but the focus this week is trying to get that first win under their belts -- and the Redhawks are a good opportunity to attempt that. In the teams' 25 meetings, the Golden Eagles hold a 15-10 record, including winning seven of the last 10 contests.

Golden Eagles aim to claim win at Eastern Illinois Saturday

CHARLESTON, Ill. – Through his presentations and conferences this week, Tennessee Tech head coach Marcus Satterfield has said continuously that while the Golden Eagles have an 0-5 record through the start of the 2017 campaign, there’s still six games remaining on the schedule. The Golden Eagles certainly still have plenty to play for as they head to Charleston, Ill., this week for an Ohio Valley Conference showdown with Eastern Illinois on Saturday.

Byrd leads effort, but Tech falls to No. 5 Jacksonville State

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Earlier in the week, Tennessee Tech head coach Marcus Satterfield challenged senior wide receiver Dontez Byrd to provide more leadership. And considering the numbers Byrd put up on Saturday night against FCS No. 5 Jacksonville State, it’s safe to assume that the senior listened. Byrd caught six passes for 92 yards and a touchdown to lead the Golden Eagles, but the effort came up short as the defending Ohio Valley Conference champions defeated Tech 34-7 at Tucker Stadium.

Turnovers, penalties squash Tech rally at EKU

RICHMOND, Ky. -- With the number of turnovers the Tennessee Tech football team committed on Saturday night, it would have been hard for any team to overcome that adversity. Still the Golden Eagles found a way, rallying in the fourth quarter, and even had a chance to win it. But false start penalties proved costly, running crucial time off the clock and Eastern Kentucky ruined any chance of a Tech comeback win, sacking Andre Sale for the final of the contest and sealing a 24-21 defeat.

Normand named HERO Sports Defensive HERO of the Week

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Senior Elliott Normand was one of the driving forces for the Tennessee Tech football team last Thursday night as the Golden Eagles opened the season against now-FCS No. 22 Western Illinois. And despite the 41-14 decision, the senior linebacker from Oak Ridge was everywhere on the field, making tackle after tackle in the contest, ending the evening with 18 total stops – five shy of the school record of 23 set by Jim Youngblood against UT Martin in 1972. It was the most tackles by a Golden Eagle since Tra’Darius Goff recorded 18 against UT Martin on Oct. 3, 2015.
