White Water Classic: Albany State meets Tuskegee in early-season matchup

ALBANY, Georgia — While Albany State head football coach Dan Land will say that every game on the schedule is big, he admitted that today’s game against Tuskegee is one of the biggest.

The Rams will travel to Phenix City, Ala. today to compete in second annual White Water Classic against a team that defeated them twice last year, including in the SIAC championship game.

The game will begin at 5 p.m. today at Garrett-Harrison Stadium.

Land said the will be one of the biggest of the young season because in order to become conference champs and earn a berth into the national playoffs, they’ll most likely have to go through Tuskegee.

Quarterback Caleb Edmonds admits losing to the Tigers twice last year “still stings,” but the Rams are back and in a position to avenge those loses. He feels the big men up front gives them an edge.

“Our strength is our offensive line,” he said. “They did a great job on Saturday, we’ve got a great running back. Really, I just gotta manage the game. We’ve got a lot of guys around me that make my job easier. So as long as I manage the game, I think we’ll be all right.”
