Tuskegee University Football, coming off an undefeated season in 2007 (12-0) and a national black college championship, on Friday (April 4) released its 2008 football schedule.
The 11-game regular season includes five home games, three "classics" and three other road contests. A nine-game mandated Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference schedule will determine the conference championship.
"This year, we have two 1AA schools (Alabama State and Alabama A&M), making it a much tougher schedule than usual, in addition to playing every school in the conference (SIAC)" said Willie Slater, head coach of the Tuskegee University Golden Tigers. "At the same time, we will deal with it and are ready to do so."
