Eastern Kentucky University travels to Nacogdoches, Texas this weekend to take on Stephen F. Austin. This is the beginning of what may be the toughest two-game swing of the football season.
The Colonels go up against the Lumberjacks in the first of two straight games in the Lone Star state. Next week, EKU gets the nationally top-ranked football team in the FCS, Sam Houston State.
Eastern comes into the Saturday afternoon contest, off five straight wins with a 6-2 record, while Stephen F. Austin is 5-3. SFA lost by one to Sam Houston in early Oct.
EKU and Stephen F Austin met for the first time in 2020 in Richmond with the Lumberjacks winning 24-6. The Colonels rank in the top ten in five different statistical categories. Kickoff is set for 5:00.
