COLUMBUS, Georgia -- You don't have to point it out to him. Morehouse coach Rich Freeman is fully aware of the Maroon Tigers struggles in the Tuskegee-Morehouse Classic. Entering his eighth season at the helm of Morehouse, Freeman will bluntly tell you the truth."Over the few seasons, they have flat out whooped us," Freeman said. "I believe that they have beaten us by a combined 50 points over the past two years, and that's not good enough on our part."
In fact, Tuskegee has outscored Morehouse 124-24 over the past three years and has won 10 of the last 11 meetings over the Maroon Tigers. Morehouse's lone victory over the Golden Tigers in the past decade came in 2011, a tight 17-14 victory at A.J. McClung Memorial Stadium.
"We have entered this game with a better record over the past few years and we stumbled," Freeman said. "This year, we are 3-2, but we are five points from being undefeated.
"I told the guys that this game isn't the hurdle, but the month of October is. That has really been our problem over the years. October is the time when you are measured against the best, and we are looking forward to it."
