The ninth annual Palmetto Capital City Classic is set for Aug. 28 and it will be Tigers vs Tigers as Benedict hosts Morehouse College from Atlanta. The game will kick off at 4:00 p.m. at Charlie W. Johnson Stadium. For Benedict head coach Stan Conner, the Classic is like a bowl game for his players because of all the festivities leading up to the game.The game will also give Conner a gauge as to how his team will stack up against a proven opponent. Last year in Atlanta, Morehouse defeated Benedict 34-13. The Tigers would get hot down the stretch and finish with an 8-3 record, thanks in part to stellar play by quarterback Pat Riley. The Maroon Tigers from Atlanta ended the year 7-3. Conner says playing Morehouse to open the season, followed by games against Tuskegee and South Carolina State is like "going from the frying pan into another hot skillet".
