SSU Freshman QB Kurvin Curry.Tigers try to even record at 3-3
Savannah State's football team will attempt to snap its two-game losing streak today against Clark Atlanta, which has a four-game winning streak. SSU (2-3) will play Clark Atlanta (4-1) at 1:30 p.m. at Panther Stadium. Adding to the intrigue is the fact that the NCAA Division II school, whose president is ex-SSU president Carlton Brown, has made SSU its Homecoming opponent."It's going to be a big-time college atmosphere with a great crowd for Clark's Homecoming," SSU first-year head coach Robby Wells said.
SSU should feel comfortable. The Tigers are 24-18-1 against the Panthers. When the teams last played each other in 1999, SSU won 34-7. And SSU has 32 players from the Atlanta area, so the game will be a homecoming of sorts for the Tigers. "It's going to be a neat deal for those guys to be able to go back home and play in front of a lot of their family and friends," said Wells, who added that both programs have 36 scholarships. SSU is coming off a 49-21 loss to Howard last Saturday in the Miami Classic. A crowd of 3,926 watched as SSU played perhaps its worst game of the season.
