Avoiding consecutive defeats

Back-to-back wins over Miles
In a rival game that has not witnessed back to back wins by the same team since Tuskegee achieved that feat during the 2011 and 2012 seasons, the Golden Tigers ended that streak emphatically by defeating Miles in 2016 and 2017, which includes a 50-20 thumping last year
