Stillman travels to Samford

TUSCALOOSA, AL - Teddy Keaton, Stillman’s first-year head coach, didn’t invoke the “24-hour rule” after the Tigers opened the season last week with a 16-13 win over nationally-ranked Shaw University. Keaton didn’t want his players to forget about it. He wanted them to enjoy the victory and remember how it was earned.

“Of course, you want to enjoy the victory, but we’ve still got work to do,” Keaton said. “We’re trying to get our kids to understand winning is a habit. We want our kids to expect big plays, expect to catch the ball, expect to do things the right way." “Yes, in a way they’re riding the momentum, but we’ve tried to calm them down as much as we can. We’ve got a bigger challenge this week against a (Football Championship Subdivision) team.”

Samford, coached by former Auburn quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Pat Sullivan, opened its season last week with a 31-17 loss to Georgia Southern.

Kickoff tonight is at 6 p.m.
