TUSCALOOSA, Alabama---Nearly 600 yards of offense couldn't undo the damage caused by turnovers and poor special team's play in Stillman College's 28-27 loss against Lane (Tenn.) at Tigers Stadium Saturday.
The Tigers were picked off twice and lost two fumbles, both of which led to touchdowns and had an extra point that could have sent the game into overtime with less than two minutes to play blocked.
"Every time something big would happen, we would something stupid to mess it up," Stillman coach Teddy Keaton said of the back-and-forth battle. "They never just let us get where we wanted to get...The name of this game was turnovers and missed opportunities, in my opinion.
The Tigers (3-2, 2-1) came into the contest leading the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in scoring offense, scoring defense, pass offense, pass defense, total offense, total defense, sacks and interceptions.
Stillman quarterback Josh Straughan finished with 437 yards and three touchdowns on 31-for-46 passing. Wide receiver Dondre Purnell had 188 yards on 14 catches and Reese Sturgis had 187 on nine grabs.
