  • 2021 OVC Preseason Football Release.Indd
    Murray State Picked as 2021 Ohio Valley Conference Football Favorites July 19, 2021 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Kyle Schwartz NASHVILLE - Murray State has been picked the preseason football favorites in the Ohio Valley Conference for the 2021 season. The Racers picked up seven of a possible 14 fi rst-place votes in a poll of league head coaches and communications directors. It marks only the third time the Racers have been tabbed the preseason favorites and fi rst time since 1996, when Houston Nutt was the head coach and the program was coming off an OVC Championship and NCAA Playoff appearance. The only other year the team was tabbed the favorite (dating back to the fi rst preseason poll in 1978), was in 1980 when Mike Gottfried was head coach, and th team was once again coming off an OVC title and playoff appearance. Murray State totaled 64 points to fi nish just ahead of Austin Peay and Southeast Missouri, who tied for second-place with 60 points. The Gov- ernors and Redhawks were 2019 OVC Co-Champions and both appeared in the FCS Playoff s that season.
