SAVANNAH, Georgia -- It’s now more than two years ago. Savannah State was coming off its first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference win and facing downtrodden Howard University, a loser of 29 straight conference football games.The Tigers were playing their first game in renovated T.A. Wright Stadium and competing at home in the MEAC for the first time.
Enthusiasm was high, but SSU couldn’t keep up and lost 34-14.
The Tigers’ MEAC losing streak has reached 21 conference games and like a merry-go-round gone haywire circles back to another meeting with Howard at 1 p.m. today at William H. Green Stadium in Washington, D.C.
SSU (1-9, 0-6 MEAC) needs a win to avoid its fourth straight 1-10 season. The Tigers travel to Greensboro, N.C., next week in the season finale.
Coach Earnest Wilson says the losing stops on the road, and SSU has two shots to get that elusive second win, or third win this season.
“You keep coaching, keep doing what you’re suppose to do as a coach, believing in what you’ve been taught, that’s been successful and you’ll get that win,” Wilson said.
