ABOUT TUSKEGEE (3-6, 2-5 SIAC)
The Golden Tigers enter the matchup looking to carry momentum from their 18-13 Homecoming win over Lane, which snapped a six-game skid. Freshman quarterback Bryson McGrew threw for two touchdowns in the victory, while the Tuskegee defense turned in one of its best performances of the season, forcing three turnovers and holding the Dragons to just 211 total yards.

Offensively, McGrew continues to grow under center, totaling more than 500 passing yards and five total touchdowns in just over three games. Redshirt freshman receiver EJ Hall remains one of the league's top playmakers, leading Tuskegee with 595 yards and five touchdowns on 25 receptions.

On the ground, Johnny Morris and Ja'Khael Rowser anchor a balanced rushing attack, while Ean Nation and Preston Parker continue to provide key production in the passing game.

Defensively, Devon Irving Jr. and Kaquan Kimber pace a veteran unit that has produced 17 sacks and forced 14 turnovers this season. The Golden Tigers have also benefited from the consistency of kicker Lorcan Ryans, who ranks second in the SIAC and seventh nationally in field goals per game (1.4), connecting on 13 of 19 attempts this season.

ABOUT MILES (3-6, 3-4 SIAC)
Miles enters the game looking to rebound from a narrow 24-21 road loss to Fort Valley State. The Golden Bears are led by quarterback Kamren Ivory, who has passed for 1,476 yards and 14 touchdowns, and running backs Roderick Thomas and Edward Osley, who have combined for over 500 rushing yards. Defensively, linebacker Robert Williams leads Miles with 83 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, and 3.0 sacks.

Following the rivalry matchup, Tuskegee will close the regular season on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, with a non-conference road trip to take on Alabama State in the annual Turkey Day Classic.
