BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- One touchdown. One point. One huge, collective sigh of relief. Alabama A&M needed, and experienced, all of the above Saturday night against Tuskegee before an announced crowd of 21,400 at Legion Field.
The Bulldogs trailed for the better part of three quarters, put together a monster drive at just the right time and then sweated out a last-second 52-yard field goal attempt to escape with a 7-6 season-opening victory over the Golden Tigers.
"A win is a win is a win," said A&M coach Anthony Jones, whose team beat Tuskegee for the third straight year. "The first game out, you just want to get a win any way you can."
The last time out, on this same field but under much more important circumstances, the Bulldogs didn't come through, frittering away a 15-point halftime lead and losing by a point to Grambling in the SWAC championship game.
