TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- In 27 years coaching college football, Willie Slater has seen it all, heard it all and been through it all with one exception---a Thursday night game.
The Tuskegee head football coach will be able to check that off his list when he leads the Golden Tigers into Tuscaloosa to face Stillman College for a key Southern Intercollegiate Conference matchup.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Stillman Stadium. The game will be broadcasted live regionally on CSS.
"I've had never done it before," Slater said of preparing during the short week. "This is my first experience at this. So, it's a new thing for me. Our major practices are over, yesterday and today (Tuesday). That's about it. The rest of the time will be walkthrough stuff."
Since falling 7-6 against undefeated Alabama A&M, in the season opener at Legion Field, the Golden Tigers (4-1, 3-0) have strung together four straight victories, besting Johnson C. Smith (N.C.) Lane (Tenn.) Fort Valley State (Ga.) and Morehouse (Ga.). Stillman has been hot as of late as well. The Tigers (4-2) also, undefeated in conference play at 3-0, have won three in a row, downing Kentucky State at home and Lane and Benedict (S.C.) on the road in consecutive weeks.
