No 'lost season' for Savannah State

Skeptics are calling this a "lost season" for Savannah State University's football team. The Tigers will not play any games on campus. Of their 11 games, nine will be on the road because of construction to T.A. Wright Stadium. The two home games will be played at Memorial Stadium, school officials confirmed Tuesday. SSU will not play a full Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference schedule until 2011.

But to the players and coaches who have devoted countless hours preparing for this game they love, there is nothing "lost" about this season.

"There are a lot of folks that have low expectations of us," said Darren Hunter, a senior defensive back from New Orleans. "That's what they did with the Saints as well, and the Saints came out and proved them wrong. We at Savannah State University, we're going to come out there and do the same thing."
