Savannah State Tigers have questions about running game

SSU Tigers starting QB Jacorey Kilcrease
Sophomore, 6-0/170, Macon, Georgia; Central Macon.

Savannah State's running game was an area of concern after sputtering for only 899 yards and five touchdowns last season. It became a bigger issue when leading rusher Antwan Edwards quit the team in May. SSU's running game suffered another blow Sunday when heralded freshman Kendal Blackshear quit the team.

SSU head coach Robby Wells said Blackshear, a 5-foot-10, 195-pound Houston native, returned to Texas. Wells said Blackshear's departure was not the result of a disciplinary decision. "Kendal came in, and it's a long way from home," Wells said following the completion of a Media Day press conference at Tiger Arena. "For whatever reason, he and his parents - his parents were still here (on campus) - decided that they wanted to go back home. It happens. We wish him well."
