EKU OVC Champs

EKU beat UT Martin 33-31 to capture their 20th OVC title.  EKU blocked a 45 yard FG with seconds remaining to hold on for the win.   The Colonels are now 19-0 against the Skyhawks.   Eastern scored 24 points to start the game off of 4 Martin turnovers.  The second half was a different story as the Colonels’ offense sputtered and the Skyhawks could not be stopped.  EKU was able to hang on and win, clinching it with the blocked field goal.  The Colonels finished the year with a turnover margin of +16.  Last year the defense had a turnover margin of +22.
