Savannah,Georgia -- Savannah State coach Steve Davenport was disappointed with the results, but encouraged with what he saw during a 22-5 loss to Hampton last Saturday. The setback dropped the Tigers to 1-7 overall, heading into Saturday’s matchup with Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference leader Norfolk State.“Late second quarter, I think we had seven true freshmen out there on defense and playing well,” Davenport said. “We think the future is going to be bright here.”
Four freshmen — free safety Vaughn Cornelia, linebacker Fredrick Fluker, nose tackle Leroy Cummings and rush end Wayne Burden — started on defense for the Tigers, who surrendered their fewest points of the season. SSU led 5-3 at half and trailed only 8-5 after three quarters.
