TUSKEGEE 34, BENEDICT 18: Just another solid start for the Golden Tigers

TUSKEGEE, AL -- As far as season openers go, Tuskegee head coach Willie Slater thought this one was pretty typical. It was exciting, it was hard-fought and it left a lot of room for improvement. later brushed off some stretches of sloppy play the Golden Tigers displayed in a 34-18 home win against Benedict College on Saturday.

"We played like it was the first game," Slater said. "We played with good effort. We committed a lot of penalties, but all those mistakes are coachable. We turned the ball over, but I don't think they were crucial turnovers because we were ahead."

Nykeem Barton made all of his 37 rushing yards count by scoring three touchdowns. Josh Harris was 14-of-23 passing for 247 yards with a touchdown. Benedict's Renando Rose led all rushers with 72 yards.
