Golden Eagles take to the skies to take on New Mexico Saturday

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Since 1984, the Tennessee Tech football team has made trips all over the country to face its bigger brothers in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

There’s only been eight seasons in those 39 years where the Golden Eagles didn’t – 1989, 1992 through 1996, 2014 and 2020, though the last one is a misnomer as the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out scheduled FBS contests against Minnesota and Southern Miss, and the spring 2021 campaign was primarily on the Football Championship Subdivision level.

This season, the Golden Eagles will load up the plane and soar to Albuquerque to take on the New Mexico Lobos out of the Mountain West Conference.
