FAIRFIELD, Alabama — Saturday wasn’t the homecoming Albany State quarterback Frank Rivers was hoping for.
The Fairfield (Ala.) High School grad returned home for the first time in an Albany State uniform, but Rivers and the ASU offense struggled against Miles, which won Saturday’s SIAC opener for both teams, 22-14.
Rivers started the game with a TD on Albany State’s first possession but then the Rams went ice-cold on offense and didn’t score for the next 46 minutes until Rivers connected with Camilla native Jessie Atkins for his second TD of the day.
ASU (1-3, 0-1 SIAC) suffers a loss to Miles in its SIAC opener for the second year in a row, while the Bears (1-2, 1-0) were able to pick up their first win of the season. The Rams were blown out by Miles in 2012, and while Saturday’s game was much closer, it was still as devastating for an Albany State team that now has a near-impossible road ahead if it wants to return to the Division II playoffs.
