FOUR-DOWN TERRITORY
1 Lacey wins POTW: Quarterback Kevin Lacey bounced back from two early interceptions to throw for a career-high 241 yards and two touchdowns on 10-of-18 passing, earning the SIAC offensive player of the week honor. Lacey also ran nine times for 81 yards and two touchdowns. “At first it wasn’t clicking. I threw two interceptions in two passes. But just settling down and focusing on my job, that helped a lot,” Lacey said. “The plays just came to me. As a quarterback, you have to make the plays when they’re there, and I think I capitalized on some opportunities and it really helped propel me. And we made a couple plays here and there that helped me out also.”
2 Norfleet a no go: Tuskegee will have to go without leading rusher Dennis Norfleet for a second straight week as he works his way back from a concussion. Norfleet has run for 151 yards and averages 6.9 yards per carry. Also the Golden Tigers’ kick returner, Norfleet was the SIAC newcomer of the week in Week 1. “He had a concussion,” Tuskegee coach Willie Slater said. “He’s out this week too.”
