PINE BLUFF, Arkansas -- Arkansas-Pine Bluff offered no excuses.Southern University scored touchdowns on its first three possessions to take command early in the first quarter Saturday and UAPB never recovered as it lost its seventh consecutive game and remained winless in conference play with a 57-24 loss at Golden Lions Stadium.
UAPB may have only 37 players in its football roster -- the limit for NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision teams is 63 -- but the Golden Lions weren't interested in laying blame anywhere else.
"There's never an excuse for giving up that many points," junior linebacker Willie Duncan III said. "I mean, we have the same number of guys on the field as they do. There are no excuses."
UAPB Coach Monte Coleman acknowledged after UAPB dropped to 1-8 overall and 0-6 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference that he has heard the rumblings this season.
"This is my philosophy, and I took it with me when I first tried out for the Washington Redskins," Coleman said. "I said, 'If I make the team, great. If I don't, I will still have given it the best shot I could. I'll have no regrets.'
