Sunday's are bad days for EKU football. Few years ago,  6 days before playing UK, a player was killed in a car crash. I've never seen EKU play with such passion and heart as they did in Lexington the next Saturday.

They should of beaten Kentucky that day.  They certainly outplayed them

Greetings from Richmond,  KY. I heard EKU was being discussed and figured I would jump in.

Expectations are high this year. After that last match vs us EKU fell to the bottom of the fcs. We fired our coach and the new guy completely rebuilt the program. This is supposed to be his breakout year. We just missed the playoffs last season.

We are nationally ranked by 2 different FCS polls (24th by Hero and 25th by Lindy). We believe we can compete with JSU to win the ovc.

We will be led by Aaron Patrick on the d line. He was voted 2nd team all American by Hero in the preseason.

Quarterback will be a heated competition. Last year QB position was always injured but next guy seemed to fill in nicely. Could be one of 4 guys. Coach Elder will probably use platoon QBs in this game.

Running back will be Mcclesky and Booth. McClesky is smaller but has speed Booth is 6'1 239lbs tank.

This team will also be playing emotionally as once wife receiver is in the hospital fighting for his life after being shot on Sunday.

Hey Colonels12, good to have you back (at least I think I recall your contributions when we last played EKU).  Glad to hear you guys are back in the scrum for the FCS playoff. It's gonna be an interesting game. Seems like you have a lot of key positions nailed down. VU, on the other hand, will come into EKU as a complete surprise package.  Even us loyal fans have little idea what our new staff will put on the field this season in terms of O, D and ST as well as the personnel that see the lions share of playing time (and in what positions they play). Good luck game planning against us 

Yes I came here before the last match. Our biggest question mark is wr. That may be our weak link unless someone can rise up and surprise me.

Very uncertain. We start with Purdue, Pikeville, and Ball State. If we can upset one of the Indiana schools maybe we will surprise some people. There's some questions about depth every where. Luckily it's an easy schedule excluding 2 FBS and Jacksonville State.

I was still subscribed to this thread and received a notification.

Good luck guys. Wish we could play you again. It'd be better than Pikeville an NAIA team.

Yeah 2015 was a bad year. It all started falling apart with the death of a player the week before Kentucky. Came out strong and should of beat them but gave away a 14 point lead with less than 5 minutes to play. The wheels feel off after that.

Every NFL team will come and look at Spence and maybe even Derricott and Mobley.

You should have no issue with Morehead.  Their entire program is a joke.

Montana will not be going FBS anytime soon.  I hear they feel they have nothing to gain by being FBS.
