ABOUT TUSKEGEE (2-6, 1-5 SIAC)
Tuskegee enters the matchup after a narrow 7-3 loss at Albany State, where the defense delivered one of its best performances of the season against one of the conference's top offenses.
 
The Golden Tigers held the Golden Rams to a single touchdown and just 284 total yards of offense. Kicker Lorcan Ryans provided Tuskegee's lone points with a career-long 50-yard field goal, marking his ninth made field goal of the year. Ryans currently ranks third in the SIAC in scoring among kickers and seventh nationally in Division II in field goals per game.
 
Linebacker Kaquan Kimber leads the defense with 49 tackles, including 9.0 tackles for loss, while fellow linebacker Devon Irving Jr. is next with 34, followed by defensive lineman Masiah Wells who has 31 tackles and three sacks. The secondary remains opportunistic, with Mikael King Jr., Antonio Knight Jr., and Quincy Crawford each recording interceptions this season.
 
On offense, the Golden Tigers will look to regain their rhythm behind freshman quarterback Bryson McGrew, who has passed for 303 yards and one touchdown while also rushing for 88 yards.
 
Running back Johnny Morris leads the team with 233 rushing yards, averaging 3.8 yards per carry, while Ja'Khael Rowser has added 156 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Through the air, EJ Hall continues to be the top target, leading the team with 560 receiving yards and five scores, while Preston Parker and Rashad Wilson have combined for 21 catches and two scores.
 
Special teams remain a strength for Tuskegee, with punter Callum Brent averaging 45.8 yards per punt, including six punts of 50+ yards and a season-long of 65 yards. The Golden Tigers rank second in the SIAC in net punting (37.2), consistently flipping field position in low-scoring games.
 
ABOUT ALLEN (2-5, 2-3 SIAC)
Allen enters the contest following a 23-20 overtime loss to Savannah State last week.
 
The Yellow Jackets, led by head coach Cedric Pearl, have been one of the league's most explosive offensive teams, averaging 387.6 yards and 26.9 points per game. Quarterback Jamir Dismukes has thrown for 1,565 yards and 11 touchdowns, while running back Fabian Duncan leads the SIAC with 864 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging 123.4 yards per game.
 
Allen's receiving corps is anchored by Marcus Fleming, who has 32 catches for 418 yards, and Nanders Lawrence, who adds 25 receptions for 320 yards and three scores. The Yellow Jacket defense is paced by Amarie Fleming, who ranks among the SIAC's top pass rushers with 6.5 sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss, and DeJuan Hughes, who leads the team with 50 total tackles.
 
Saturday's matchup will feature two teams looking to finish the 2025 campaign strong. Tuskegee is averaging just over 17.0 points and 275.1 total yards per game, while allowing 21.8 points and 346.1 yards defensively.
 
Allen, meanwhile, has leaned on a high-tempo offense and ranks second in the SIAC in total offense and in rushing offense (192.4 yards per game).
 
The game marks the Golden Tigers' final home appearance of the regular season before closing the year on the road at Kentucky State on November 1.
 
Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. inside of Abbott Memorial Alumni Stadium, with the broadcast available live on ESPN+. Fans can also listen live on the Golden Tigers Sports Network.
