Morehouse College Maroon Tigers: Reloading For 2013

ATLANTA, Georgia  --  Like water under the bridge, Morehouse had a 2012 season that it would like to forget. The Maroon Tigers were the Preseason pick to win the SIAC East Division, but the prediction was not indicative of the team’s end result. Tons of misfortune, coupled with an overwhelming amount of injuries to several impact players left Morehouse depleted at the end of its 3-7 campaign.

Motivated and recovered, the Maroon Tigers will be looking to rebound from the school’s first losing season in five years.

“One of the things we have to do is stay healthy,” said Morehouse head football coach Rich Freeman. “I feel like that was a factor in our lack of success last season. We give ourselves a better chance to win each week when we are healthy.”

While the team will have big shoes to fill on offense, and defense, particularly in the skill positions, Morehouse used recruiting and development to fill the missing voids. The team’s biggest loss is that of David Carter, who finished his career as the school’s All-Time leader in scoring, rushing, and touchdowns scored.
