NASHVILLE - Tennessee State (2-5, 0-2 OVC) hosts Charleston Southern (3-4, 0-2 OVC) at 2:30 p.m. Central on Saturday, Oct. 24, at Nissan Stadium, according to TSU Athletics game information. The game streams on ESPN+ and airs on 102.1 FM The Ville.
The Tigers are coming off a 25-16 Homecoming win over then-No. 24 Morgan State, which TSU says was the 100th regular-season head-coaching win for Reggie Barlow across the college and pro levels. Saturday opens a five-game conference stretch to end the regular season and closes a three-game homestand.
Charleston Southern leads the series 2-1. TSU won the only previous meeting in Nashville, 13-9 in 2024, and the Buccaneers won 7-6 last season in Charleston, the release says.
