2-Minute Drill: UNA 30, Tuskegee 27

WHY TUSKEGEE LOST 
 
Tuskegee turned the ball over three times and its offense flatout stalled late, going three-and-out on each of its three fourth-quarter possessions and put its defense in tough spots with poor play on offense and special teams. The Golden Tigers also failed to contain UNA quarterback Luke Wingo in the read option when it mattered most.
KEY MOMENT 
 
Tuskegee had myriad chances to take the lead in the second half. So, it's hard pinpoint any one moment. However, UNA wide receiver's Korey Jones' 36-yard touchdown in the fourth against Golden Tigers' defensive back Travis  Lee to put the Lions ahead six less than 30 seconds after Tuskegee tied the game at 24 was as big as any play in the game. 
 
WHAT FANS ARE SAYING
 
Traditional Tuskegee fans might feel some type of way about missing the annual Turkey Day Classic showdown against Alabama State come Thursday. However, they can't deny the strong showing the Golden Tiger had in their first trip to the Division II playoffs.
