1,000 show up for scrimmage, Fan Day at Savannah State

SAVANNAH, Georgia  -  Two Savannah State players who never saw the field last season made the biggest plays in the Tigers’ scrimmage Saturday night at T.A. Wright Stadium.

Wideout Angelo Cauley scored the team’s first touchdown of the 2012 preseason. Some of SSU’s defensive success can be attributed to the play of freshman lineman Andrew Gardner.

“We keep harping on it,” Tigers coach Steve Davenport said. “We’re really, really young. But we think the young guys we have are going to be really good.”

Playing with the second-string, Cauley completed an eight-play, 84-yard drive by catching a short out-pattern pass from quarterback Victorian Hardison and juking defenders before getting into the end zone for a 21-yard touchdown.

“It gives me a lot of confidence going into the season,” said Cauley, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound sophomore from Lakeside High School in Atlanta.
