TUSKEGEE, Alabama -- Tuskegee could match the success it had on the football field last season when it went 10-2, won a Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title and made an appearance in the Pioneer Bowl in Columbus, Ga.However, the Golden Tigers, picked to repeat as league champions, just might get the job done more through the air this season as opposed to 2012, when they pounded teams to death with Missouri transfer running back Derrick Washington, the SIAC Player of the Year and a Harlon Hill trophy award finalist.
The league's the fifth-leading passing attack a year ago, Tuskegee returns a couple experienced players under center in rising junior Justin Nared as well as senior Rashard Burkette, all of its receiving corps and a pair of all-conference offensive linemen in Christopher Tolbert and Devonte Jones.
"We've been grinding this offseason, this summer, throwing and working," Burkette said. "And we want to better ourselves at throwing the ball because we know we can throw the ball. We could've thrown it last year. We just didn't have to."
