UT Martin Football hosts Gardner-Webb for homecoming

 


The University of Tennessee at Martin football program will hold its annual Homecoming game hosting Big South-OVC foe Gardner-Webb on Saturday, October 5. Kickoff from Hardy M. Graham Stadium is scheduled for 1:00 PM and will air on ESPN+.

The Skyhawks (2-3, 0-1 Big South-OVC) return home after recording a historic win last week with a 24-13 road win over FBS foe Kennesaw State. UT Martin never trailed in the game as the team recorded its second victory over an FBS opponent in school history, joining the team's win over Memphis in 2012.

Saturday's game features both programs that claimed the Big South-OVC Football Association's first title in 2023. Both teams finished the year with a 5-1 association record, as Gardner-Webb picked up the head-to-head victory with a game-winning touchdown with 13 seconds left to play to secure a 38-34 victory in Boiling Springs.

UT Martin returns to conference play looking to leverage its home field advantage to propel the team to victory. Entering the 2024 season, the Skyhawks have won three straight conference titles since 2021 and boasted a 15-3 record against conference foes during that span. The side were particularly impressive at the Graham Stadium against league opponents, where they have remained undefeated since April 3, 2020.

Run back Patrick Smith recorded his third 100-yard rushing performance last week, while recording 476 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. Kinkead Dent will rank under center with 549 yards and five touchdowns in the passing game while receiver Trevonte Rucker leads the team with 265 yards and four touchdowns. Safety Oshae Baker was named Big South-OVC Defensive Player of the Week after making six tackles and an interception return of 63 yards for a touchdown last week.

Gardner-Webb (1-4, 0-1 Big South-OVC) earned the league's automatic bid to the FCS Playoffs last year as new head coach Chris Reisert is in his first season at the helm. The Runnin' Bulldogs are averaging 354.6 yards per game of total offense, while quarterback Tyler Riddell leads the passing attack with 1,086 yards and four touchdowns. Carson Gresock runs the ground game with 266 yards and five rushing touchdowns. The defense is led by Trevor Moffitt with 35 total tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss.

This is the sixth meeting between the two programs in a series that began in 2001. Gardner-Webb holds a slight lead in the series with a 3-2 record, while the Runnin' Bulldogs will make their first visit to Graham Stadium since 2006.

The game will stream exclusively on ESPN+, while local fans can tune into the Skyhawk Sports Network to hear Davis Gregory (play-by-play), John Hatler (analyst) and Chris Brinkley (analyst) calling the action. Games will be broadcast on WCMT “Talk and News You Can Use!” with simulcasts on 1410 AM, 100.5 FM, 92.7 FM, 96.1 FM, 99.7 FM and 103.3 FM.
