SAVANNAH, Georgia -- During the final 4 minutes, 31 seconds of Savannah State University’s football game against Fort Valley State on Saturday night, the Tigers’ special teams unit blocked a punt, the offense scored a touchdown and the defense intercepted a pass in the end zone as time expired to give SSU a 27-20 home-opening victory in front of 3,220 jubilant fans at T.A. Wright Stadium.“We’re proud to still be undefeated at home,” said first-year head coach Earnest Wilson III, whose Tigers (1-2) clawed back from a 13-0 first-half deficit to give him his first victory and give the program its first win since a 42-35 victory over Edward Waters on Oct. 20, 2012.
“I’m just very proud of these players,” Wilson continued. “I’m proud of these coaches. They did a great job trying to get these guys prepared. (Antonio) Bostick came through. Some of the guys we asked to step up, stepped up. Our goal is to teach them how to win and to have a winning season. We ain’t quitting.”
