CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Austin Peay State University football is looking to move their last game of their 2024-25 regular season against in state rival, the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga Mocs, to a Thursday night.
Currently, the game is slated to take place on Saturday, Nov. 23. But sources told Clarksville Now that Austin Peay is looking to move the rivalry showdown to Thursday, Nov. 21. A similar situation unfolded in 2021 when the two programs mutually decided to move a Saturday contest to Thursday night.
An official with knowledge of the negotiation said Austin Peay is looking to move the game because it’s better for the Clarksville community while providing a different atmosphere to fans during the upcoming season. Austin Peay athletics is waiting for the UT-Chattanooga athletic department to respond to their proposal.
