BRENTWOOD, Tenn. - The Jacksonville State at Southeast Missouri football game has been selected as a "Wildcard Selection" in the Ohio Valley Conference's Game of the Week package on ESPN3. That matchup is scheduled for Saturday, November 5 with a 1 p.m., CT, kickoff at Houck Stadium.
When the league's eight-contest Game of the Week schedule was announced in July, the Oct. 29, Nov. 5, Nov. 12 and Nov. 19 games were deemed "Wildcard" dates where the matchup would not be announced until roughly two weeks prior to the contest.
JSU and SEMO have played 20 previous times with the Gamecocks holding a 15-5 advantage in the all-time series. The Gamecocks have won eight in a row in the series including a memorable 2010 game by two points, although the Redhawks would go on to win a share of the OVC regular-season title that year. Four of SEMO's five wins in the series have come in Cape Girardeau.
This marks the fourth-straight season the league has produced the Game of the Week package in conjunction with WebStream Sports. WebStream Sports, an Indianapolis-based company which is a proven leader in video production, streaming video and content creation. The company, founded in 2006, produces more than 1,000 events annually.
