Gameday blog: Jacksonville State at Southeast

My view from the press box at Houck Stadium, as Southeast Missouri State faces Jacksonville State on homecoming.

The Southeast Missouri State football team will look to snap a two-game losing streak when it takes the field for its homecoming game against second-ranked Jacksonville State at 1 p.m. Saturday at Houck Stadium.

Southeast (3-5, 3-2 Ohio Valley Conference) is coming off its best offensive game of the season after knocking off Austin Peay 41-21 last week during its Pink Up game. The Redhawks' defense racked up a season-high 515 total yards in the win, while the defense was solid despite the absence of senior cornerback Mike Ford, who's out for the season with a broken forearm.
