Tech football closes season with shutout win over Tennessee State

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As the clock hit zero at Nissan Stadium, tears of joy erupted on the Tennessee Tech sideline. For everything the Golden Eagles had gone through over the course of the 2023 campaign, that moment was the culmination of it all.

The highest of highs, the lowest of lows – Tech had been through it all.

On Saturday, head coach Dewayne Alexander told his Golden Eagle charges to just go out there and have fun.

That they did – leaving Nissan Stadium with a 35-0 victory over Tennessee State. It is the first shutout in the series, while it is the first shutout win for the Golden Eagles since 2013 – blanking Austin Peay in that contest – and only the fourth for the program since 2000.
