PHENIX CITY, Alabama -- Sparked by quarterback Kevin Lacey, Tuskegee exploded for 17 points in the third quarter and held on for a 20-12 victory and a much-needed Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference win over Albany State at Garrett-Harrison Stadium on Saturday.
Lacey, a Wetumpka native, used his arm and legs to spark the Golden Tigers' offense. After a lightning delay midway through the second quarter, the Tuskegee offense found life and scored all 20 of its points on four consecutive possessions.
The win snapped Tuskegee's three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
"We just wanted to get this one out of the way. We hadn't won since last year, so winning this game means a lot to kick-start the season," Lacey said. "The first win in conference play, that's the first step to getting a ring.
"Winning this game is a big step toward our goals."
Lacey went 6-for-12 passing for 137 yards and a touchdown and added 19 yards on the ground. His ability to extend plays with his feet led to big pass plays.
