Tuskegee uses late fumble to beat Miles 27-25

TUSKEGEE, Alabama -- A Ryan Crespo 2-yard run in the fourth quarter gave Tuskegee the winning margin in a 27-25 victory over Miles College on Saturday. That play was set up when Miles quarterback David Thomas was sacked by Aaron Bennett and fumbled. Tuskegee returned the ball to the Miles 6-yard line.

Miles falls to 6-4 and 5-2 in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference while Tuskegee improves to 4-5 and 4-3 with its homecoming victory. The game was the first meeting between new Miles coach Reggie Ruffin and his former boss, Tuskegee head coach Willie Slater.

Miles scored on a 16-yard run by Thomas later in the fourth quarter to make it 27-25, but Thomas' rush for a 2-point conversion failed.

Miles got the ball back with less than two minutes remaining and reached the Tuskegee 30-yard line, but the Golden Tigers kept the Golden Bears out of the end zone.
