Tuskegee at Miles College Buzz

Tuskegee at Miles College

WHAT: Tuskegee (7-1, 6-0) at Miles College (8-1, 6-0)

WHEN: Saturday, 4:00 p.m.

WHERE: Albert J. Sloan-Alumni Stadium, Fairfield, Alabama

TV: None but Birmingham folks can catch the Golden Bears radio broadcast on 88.7 FM.

LINE: None

THIS GAME WILL DETERMINE: Everything. The meeting between Miles, the defending Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champs currently ranked No. 1 in the NCAA Division II Super Region 2 standings, and Tuskegee, the winningest school in black college football history, will determine the conference's western division champion. Both are undefeated against conference foes and both haven't lost since dropping one-point games in their season opener at Legion Field. Tuskegee lost 7-6 to Alabama A&M and Miles fell 31-30 at the hands of North Alabama. The winner of this contest advances to next weekend's SIAC championship game in Atlanta and will be a virtual lock to play in, and possibly, the first round of the Division II playoffs. The loser will likely have to settle for a spot in the Pioneer Bowl which pits the SIAC against the Continental Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

Tuskegee downed Miles 27-25 at home last year and leads the overall series 45-12-1.
