Don’t kick the dog

RICHMOND, Ky. (WTVQ) – EKU hosts Jacksonville State this Saturday at 3.

The Gamecocks are ahead in the all-time series 7-6…and won 34-0 last season.

At 2-6 this year, the Colonels could use a jolt in the arm with a signature win over the No. 2 team in the country.

Head coach Mark Elder says he’s not ripping his team with all the bad things right now.  It’s not what he did at halftime at Tennessee State down 35-3 either to rally the team to a 35-28 final.

Success is about rallying the Colonels with a winning mentality.
