Austin Peay has promoted associate head coach Marquase Lovings to interim head football coach for the Governors’ upcoming season. Athletic director Gerald Harrison announced Lovings’ promotion Tuesday, days after Mark Hudspeth resigned after one season for personal reasons. Harrison said he met with both coaches and players on the team before making his decision. Lovings was defensive line coach last season, helping Austin Peay rank eighth nationally defending the run and 12th in total defense. Lovings is scheduled to meet with the media today.
