FOUR-DOWN TERRITORY
1 History in the making: With a win over Central State, Tuskegee coach Willie Slater will tie Rick Comegy for second on the school's all-time wins list. Slater is 89-22 in 10 seasons with the Golden Tigers. Comegy was 90-26. It'll take a bit longer for Slater to reach the school's all-time wins mark, 202 by Cleve L. Abbott in 32 seasons. "Really hadn't thought about it. I feel very fortunate. It's a blessing that we've been able to accomplish that here. A lot of the tribute goes the coaching staff. I have a very good coaching staff that's stuck with me," Slater said. "It's a special thing for me. He's coached many great quarterbacks. Just to even be one of his students of the game, it's an honor. Coach Slater's an amazing coach, he has great knowledge of the game. Just to be a part, 90 wins is a lot, just to be the quarterback to help him achieve this goal, it's very special to me," quarterback Kevin Lacey said.
2 The best feeling in the world: After spending six of its first eight games on the road, Tuskegee returns home for the final two games of the season. After Central State this week, the Golden Tigers host Miles for the season finale on Nov. 7. No one on the team is happier about returning home than junior defensive end Julian Morgan. "It's the best feeling the world," Morgan said. "I think the crowd, the student section at Tuskegee, is the best student section in the nation. You can't beat The Shed. You want The Shed to be happy when you're out there on the field."
