Savannah State University has not produced a winning football season since 1998, but that did not stop the Tigers’ first-year head coach from picking SSU to win the MEAC during its inaugural season as a conference member.



Davenport revealed Sunday during SSU’s Media Day at Tiger Arena that he voted SSU No. 1 in the MEAC’s preseason poll, which was announced July 29 during the conference’s preseason luncheon in Norfolk, Va.
