FOUR-DOWN TERRITORY

1. Benchmark game: One of the few teams he hasn’t registered a win against, Tuskegee coach Willie Slater is 0-2 against Winston-Salem State. The Rams played in the 2012 Division II National Championship, a place the Golden Tigers hope to get this season. Slater said this game will be a measuring stick for his squad.

“They’re a very good football program. Their program is where we want to be. They’ve played for the national championship before, and we’d like to be in that position at some point,” Slater said. “It’s going to be a benchmark for us to be able to play on the same plane they’re playing on.”
