Savannah State finished its regular-season schedule with a 35-0 victory over Virginia University of Lynchburg on Senior Night at T.A. Wright Stadium in Savannah Saturday.
The Tigers built a 21-0 lead with two rushing touchdowns and a blocked punt. The teams went scoreless in the third quarter, then Savannah State put up 14 more points in the fourth.
Savannah State used four quarterbacks, and 11 players rushed the ball. Head coach Thomas Howard said the team rotated players so younger athletes who had not played yet, as well as more experienced players, could get an opportunity.
The win brought the Tigers to a 2-8 overall record and a 1-7 mark in the SIAC in Howard’s first season as head coach.
