SSU looking for first win in Tallahassee

TALLAHASSEE, Florida  --  The Savannah State Tigers are hoping for better results from a trip to Tallahassee, Fla., this time.

The Tigers will be on the road today at 6 p.m. against Florida A&M at Bragg Memorial Stadium in the Florida capital.

Five weeks ago, SSU challenged Florida State across town at Doak Campbell Stadium. That didn’t turn out too well. The Tigers entered as the largest underdogs in college football history (70 ½ points) and didn’t put up much of a fight before losing to the Seminoles 55-0 in a game stopped midway through the third quarter by inclement weather.

SSU followed its fortnight with FBS powerhouses with three more losses to Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference schools and will enter today’s contest with a 12-game losing streak, the longest in the FCS.

“There are better days ahead for Savannah State, but (the losing) certainly eats at my patience on a daily basis,” Tigers second-year coach Steve Davenport said.
