RICHMOND, Ky. – The Eastern Kentucky University football team concludes its non-conference schedule Saturday evening with a home contest against No. 14/17 Chattanooga. Game time at Roy Kidd Stadium is set for 6 p.m.

Eastern Kentucky (1-1) has won six consecutive home games dating back to the beginning of the 2010 season. The Colonels averaged 217 yards rushing in those contests and reached 200 yards on the ground in four of the six games.

However, EKU will face a very tough test this week from Chattanooga, a member of the Southern Conference. The Mocs rolled to a 38-17 win over Jacksonville State last Saturday while holding the Gamecocks to just 17 yards in the second half. This is the highest ranking for UTC since 1992.

This is Chattanooga’s first visit to Eastern Kentucky since 1986. EKU allowed a season-high 42 points in the loss at Chattanooga last season as Mocs WR Joel Bradford set a then-school record with 254 yards receiving. Eastern has five players on its roster from Tennessee including Chattanooga natives DB Jeremy Caldwell and WR Orlandus Harris.

--Sophomore LB Ichiro Vance tallied a career-high 19 tackles to go along with a forced fumble against Missouri State on his way to earning OVC Defensive Player of the Week honors on Sept. 11. The 19 tackles are the most by an EKU player since 1996 when DB Bob Head totaled 21 stops at Eastern Illinois.

--Junior RB Jeremiah Williams was tabbed OVC Newcomer of the Week on Sept. 11 after finishing with 119 yards rushing and two scores against Missouri State. He is one of four active Colonels to tally a 100-yard rushing performance. QB #T.J. Pryor#, RB #H.B. Banjoman and RB Matt Denham# are the other players in that select group.
