Rams meet Tuskegee Saturday in Phenix City, Ala., in White Water ClassicALBANY, Georgia -- Jessie Atkins stood outside the Albany State University dressing room, still in somewhat disbelief after Valdosta State’s 38-10 victory over the Rams Saturday night at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium.
It wasn’t so much about the lopsided score that Atkins was shaking his head over. It was more about the turnovers Albany State committed - five total, including four fumbles. Three of the turnovers led directly to 21 Valdosta State points.
None were more painful than on the opening possession of the second half. Trailing 17-0, the Rams faced second-and-9 from its 24, only to cough the ball up. It was the Rams’ third fumble at the time, and the Blazers turned the fumble recovery into a touchdown two plays later and built an insurmountable lead.
Atkins knows the Rams are going to have a hard time winning if they can’t corral the turnovers.
