The Redhawks (2-7, 2-4 Ohio Valley Conference) have lost three in a row, including a heartbreaking 16-14 defeat against UT Martin last week at Houck Field. The Redhawks came up empty-handed on two trips in the red zone while clinging to a one-point lead in the fourth quarter, while the Skyhawks finally broke through on their final drive, coming away with a 22-yard field goal in the final seconds to pull out the road win.

Southeast will take on the Tigers (5-4, 1-4 OVC), who enter Saturday's game with the top-ranked pass defense in the conference. TSU has won two of its last six games, including last week's 60-0 rout of Virginia University Lynchburg. The Tigers will celebrate Senior Day on Saturday, and among those who will be recognized is inside linebacker Chris Collins, who is second in the conference with 76 total tackles on the year.
