EIU panthers officially reclaimed the title of OVC Championships as well as guaranteed a birth to the NCAA-IAA playoff Saturday Jacksonville State University Saturday, defeating the Gamecocks 10-6.
The Panther's only touchdown came late in the second half after a 93 yard drive.
As I predicted the game was decided among the defenses. Eastern even stopped Jacksonville on a 1st and goal. (one of the plays being from the 1 and a half yard line.
The Panthers will find out who they play tomorrow. Students and fans can watch together in the Student Rec Center Sunday at noon.
Rumors say it will most likely be a midwest team and analysts are predicting a Southern Illinois University at Eastern Illinois University.
Junior strong safety Tristan Burge injured his ankle on the last play of the game though. Burge got caught in a pile of players and jumped for a last second pass from Jacksonville knocking it down but appeared to roll his ankle. Early reports from Eastern trainers say his ankle was not broken.
