Albany State looks to extend streak against Morehouse

ALBANY, Georgia — It’s homecoming at Albany State and among the traditions and the festivities comes the game.

The Albany State football team, which sits at 2-3, has come to create a tradition of their own when it comes to playing today’s visiting Morehouse Tigers.

The Rams and Maroon Tigers will meet for the 35th time. Albany State leads the series 27-7-0 and has won the last six meetings. The two programs played in 2014 and Albany State won 31-14.

Albany State recorded their second win of the season on a come-from-behind 29-16 victory against Miles College before last week’s bye. Jarvis Small recorded another 100-yard rushing game with 111, while Nick Scott and Tavarius Washington led the defense with five total tackles apiece.

The Tigers come into Saturday’s game with a 3-3 record after a 35-7 loss to Tuskegee last week. Despite history being on their side, defensive backs and special teams coach Chris Henderson said they still must rise to the occasion and face the number one offense in the conference.
