Golden Bears Buzz: Kentucky State at Miles College


WATCH IN 1080p WIDE SCREEN

WHAT: Kentucky State (4-2, 2-1 in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) at Miles College (2-3, 2-1)
 
WHEN: Saturday, 4 p.m. 

WHERE: Albert J. Sloan-Alumni Stadium, Fairfield, Ala. 
 
THIS GAME WILL DETERMINE: There are currently four teams, including KSU, Miles, Stillman and Lane (Tenn.) with one loss in the SIAC West behind Tuskegee, unbeaten in league play at 3-0. Tuskegee hosts Stillman Saturday. Stillman already has a win against KSU and Miles has yet to play Stillman or Tuskegee. So, this game will be huge in what could be a down-to-the-wire race for a spot in the SIAC title game in Atlanta in November. 

THREE THINGS TO WATCH
1. Kentucky State running back Jacquise Lockett. Locket is the best running back in the SIAC and it's not even close. The bruising 6-foot-2, 230-pound junior leads the league in rushing with 728 yards, a number more than 300 better than the league's second-leading rusher, and 12 touchdowns on 104 carries for an average of 121.3 yards per game. 

2. Miles' resolve. The Golden Bears have been up and down in 2013, after going 8-3 and reaching the Division II playoffs for the first time in school history this season. Last week, might've been the low point of the season for Miles when it fell 25-21 on the road at previously winless conference newcomer Central State (Ohio). The Golden Bears can still make a run at a league title but a lot of depends how they rebound against a tough Kentucky State squad.
