RICHMOND, Ky. – After three weeks of playing non-conference opponents, the Eastern Kentucky University football team straps up for an Ohio Valley Conference game this Saturday at UT Martin. Game time is set for 1 p.m. ET.
 
Saturday's game can be seen on ESPN3.
 
Since Dean Hood took over as head coach of the Colonels in 2008, Eastern Kentucky (3-0, 0-0 OVC) and UT Martin (1-2, 0-0) are two of just three OVC teams that have recorded at least 30 league victories.
 
The Eastern Kentucky run defense has been particularly stout in 2014. The Colonels have held each of its first three opponents under 100 yards rushing and rank fourth nationally (FCS) in rushing defense (49.3 yards per game).
 
Eastern is 22-2 all-time against UT Martin, but the Skyhawks tallied a 16-7 victory in Richmond last year. In that game, UTM rushed for 215 yards versus the Colonels and held EKU to a season-low 80 yards on the ground.
