FORT VALLEY, Georgia - Tuskegee defeated Fort Valley State in their fifth consecutive road game to start the 2013 season by a score of 21-13 Saturday, in a rematch of the 2013 SIAC Championship Game. With the victory came a possible momentum-shifting moment in the 2013 season, as Tuskegee experienced the ultimate agony after being initially exuberant upon taking a lead that they wouldn't surrender in the second quarter.
Tyree fumbled a pitch from quarterback Justin Nared but was able to run the pigskin in from 36 yards out to give the Golden Tigers a 14-7 lead. However, starting Junior Nared sustained a serious injury on what looked to be on his throwing shoulder, and he did not play a down in the game's final two and a half quarters.
A quick drive to start the second half gave the Golden Tigers a 21-7 lead, as Michael D. Thornton ran in the game-clinching touchdown from two yards out. Jonquez Sanders scored on an eight-yard touchdown run for the Wildcats late in the game, but Tuskegee was able to run the remaining 4:13 in regulation off of the clock.
