"It will be an emotional day for our staff and our seniors," said head coach
Rob Tenyer. "This has been a special group. I am sure many of them would trade all their accolades for more wins. We just had an unfortunate stretch where we lost three games by just nine points. But, our entire program knows we can finish strong and remember the way we finished and not how we started."
The game, presented by SRG Global, can be heard live on the Eagle Sports Radio Network and seen live on the OVC Digital Network. Military veterans can purchase tickets for just $1 for Military Appreciation Day.
Morehead State rolled up more than 500 offensive yards last week at Butler, including a school-record 465 individual passing yards by Gahafer. He became the PFL all-time leader in passing yards and total offense, while Raymond set the PFL career receptions mark. Ward tied the MSU single-game mark for field goals with four. Defensively, the Eagles created three fumbles, including one returned 40 yards for a score by Wall.
"Our defense played very hard throughout the game last week," Tenyer said. "Creating those turnovers really gave them confidence."
MSU's offense, meanwhile, leads the PFL in passing for a second straight season. Gahafer throws for more than 300 yards per game.
Campbell (4-4/2-4 PFL) enters the weekend coming off a 28-0 shutout of Davidson. The Camels feature one of the league's most potent rushing attacks, averaging about 220 yards per game.
"We have to get ready schematically for a very athletic Campbell team," said Tenyer.
Last season, in Buies Creek, N.C., Morehead State rallied in the last minute for a 31-27 victory. The Camels had defeated the Eagles 31-24 in Morehead in 2014.
Following the game, the Eagles will get ready next week for their final regular-season game at Davidson on Nov. 19.
