• FOUR DOWN TERRITORY


Better get ready: Coming off a 21-14 win over rival Morehouse Oct. 6, the Golden Tigers only had three practices to prepare for Stillman. With both teams 3-0 in the SIAC and tied for first in the West, coach Willie Slater said he knows his team will give their all but is concerned fatigue may be a factor.

“We don’t have as much time to prepare,” Slater said. “ Just trying to make sure we cover everything. They’re a very good team fundamentally so we’ve got to make sure we play our assignments. Just concerned about having our legs up under us.”

Two is better than one: Justin Nared and Rashard Burkette have split time under center this season. Slater said Nared, a sophomore, has made strides in his second seaso,n and Burkette has given the Golden Tigers a spark during freshman campaign.
