The Southeast Missouri Redhawks have announced their fall 2021 football schedule, which features a game at Missouri.

Southeast Missouri opens the 2021 season with three straight non-conference games, beginning on Thursday, Sept. 2 at home at Houck Stadium in Cape Girardeau, Mo., against Southern Illinois. The Redhawks then travel to take on Sam Houston on Sept. 11 and Missouri on Sept. 18.

Other non-conference opponents for Southeast Missouri this fall include fellow Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) members Murray State (Oct. 16) at home and UT Martin (Oct. 23) on the road.

…OVC Directors of Athletics agreed to schedule additional games against OVC opponents outside the structure of the Conference schedule as a way to play competitive games within the region. These designated matchups against OVC opponents will not count in the Conference standings. The dates of these matchups will be announced by the individual member schools as part of their full schedule release.

Southeast Missouri is set to open Ohio Valley Conference action on Sept. 25 at home against Tennessee State. Other home OVC contests include Eastern Illinois (Oct. 30) and UT Martin (Nov. 20).

The Redhawks will travel to face OVC foes Tennessee Tech on Oct. 2, Austin Peay on Oct. 9, and Murray State on Nov. 13.
