GOLDEN EAGLE FLASHBACK: Samford series provided excitement for Tech football

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – As we enter what was originally scheduled to be the first week of Tennessee Tech’s 2020 football slate, it’s a different landscape. Instead of preparing for the week’s opponent, it’s preparing for the spring, hopeful to get the season underway even if it is a few months later than normal.

With the calendar switching into these cool autumn months that would have been filled with the pageantry of college football and the 99th season for the Golden Eagles, it gives time to reflect back through the years.

Tech’s first scheduled opponent of the 2020 season was Samford. A brief member of the Ohio Valley Conference from 2003 to 2007, the Golden Eagles have battled the Bulldogs to a near-even series, 11-12 in favor of Samford.
