TUSKEGEE, Alabama — The potential of earning a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs has become more of a reality for Tuskegee football.The surging Golden Tigers (8-1, 4-0 SIAC) quickly dismantled their latest victim, Central State, on homecoming by 31 points last weekend, extending their winning streak to six games heading into the final week of SIAC division competition.
There remains just one more roadblock: Miles College. The winner of today’s matchup earns the right to represent the West Division in this next week’s SIAC championship game in Atlanta.
The lone conference loss for the Bears (5-3, 3-1) came at the hands of Central State, so a win over the defending champs would give them the edge in the head-to-head tiebreaker.
“We have to win this game to play in the conference championship game,” Golden Tigers head coach Willie Slater said. “They’re very wellcoached and they have good players. There’s nothing to look ahead to except this game. ... We’ve got to make sure we keep from stumbling.”
