TUSCALOOSA, Alabama --- Tuskegee defeated Stillman College 16-0 Thursday night with a lot of defense and just enough of Missouri transfer running back Derrick Washington. The Golden Tigers got to Stillman quarterback Josh Straughan early and often, intercepting him twice, returning one for a touchdown and ending a drive in the red zone in the first half on another.
If the Golden Tigers weren't picking the true freshman off, they were plastering him onto the grass. They finished with five sacks on their way to their first shutout of the season against a Stillman team that had scored at least 24 points in five of six previous games.

TUSCALOOSA — Tuskegee scored early on an interception return and benefited from some Stillman mistakes for a 16-0 victory on Thursday.
Tuskegee scored on a 5-yard interception return by William Buford, a 12-yard run by Derrick Washington and a 25-yard field goal by Eduardo Murillo on the lone first-half red zone possession for either team. Tuskegee’s Washington was especially troublesome for Stillman in the first half, gaining 63 total yards, including 41 on the ground. He finished with 79 rushing yards on 13 attempts and also caught a pass for an additional 22 yards.
The Tuskegee defense stymied Stillman’s offense for most of the first half, with Jamar Hornsby intercepting another Joshua Straughan pass in the Tuskegee end zone when Stillman was able to drive to the Tuskegee 19-yard line, Stillman’s most successful drive of the first half.
