HBCU Gameday

Benedict goes to Albany State and wins 29-8 with a defense that allows 152 total yards — and the Tigers still do not have the SIAC race to themselves. Why it matters: Sly and Jamie break down a weekend of SIAC upsets and statements that left the top of the conference stacked. Kentucky State sits first in the standings at 6-1 in the SIAC after escaping Savannah State 27-24, while Benedict, Edward Waters and Central State are all 5-1 right behind — and nobody has clinched anything. On the show: Benedict's defense (four sacks, two interceptions, a defensive touchdown), David Smith's 113 rushing yards and Zane Spires' school-record field goal at Albany State. Edward Waters hangs 62 on Clark Atlanta behind Tavion Faulk's seven touchdowns — one week after losing 45-24 at Benedict, so can that offense hold up against the conference's best? Central State, the overlooked story: 48-20 at Miles, five straight conference wins since losing its opener to Kentucky State, a contender at 5-1 despite a 5-3 overall record. Plus Lane's first win of the season, 16-6 at Fort Valley State, and Tuskegee's 26-23 escape against Allen.
