FOUR-DOWN TERRITORY

1. The Classic: It’s the 80th annual Tuskegee-Morehouse Classic, one of the biggest games for the Golden Tigers every season. It’s a game the fans get particularly excited about as a big game, but coach Willie Slater said at this point, they’re all big games.

“Getting ready to play Morehouse. That’s enough said,” Slater said. “It’s a big game for the fans. It’s a big game for alumni. But as far as we go, it’s a big game for us anyway. The game last week was a big game for me. And the game after this is going to be a big game. I look at it a little different than the fans do. They want us to look good, the want us to play good. But some of that rubs off on the players too. The fans let them know what they think about this game and how important it is for them, so that kind of builds a little momentum for them.”
