Once again for the Albany state Golden Rams domination was the order of the day, as they shellacked the Golden Bears of Miles College 31-0 to claim their first SlAC title since 2013.

Albany State got right to work after receiving the opening Kickoff needing only 4 plays to cover 65 yard , reaching the end zone on a one-yard run from Marcuis Fulks to put ASU up 7-0. After forcing a punt on the subsequent Miles possession. Albany State put more points on the board, via a 34-yard field goal from Gabriel Ballinas to go up 10-0.

In the second quarter, a 67-yard pass from Dionte Bonneau to Malik Barnes set the Rams up on the Golden Bears’ 3-yard line. A personal foul on Miles’ Jaylun Thomas moved the ball to the two-yard line. One play later Kam Ward cashed in from 2-yards out to make the Golden Rams’ advantage 17-0, where the score would stand heading into halftime.

In the third quarter Golden Rams ,would slam the door on the competitive portion of the game with scoring drives of 63 and 65 yards, respectively to push the score to 31-0. The former coming on a 9-yard pass from Bonneau to Tyree Taylor and the latter via an Issaiah McCray 30-yard touchdown scamper. On the other side of the ball, the Golden Bears offense was brought to a screeching halt running a mere 12 plays in the period for -5 yards.

It was another stellar outing for the Albany State defense, as they recorder their sixth shutout of season. The ASU only allowed 19 points to SIAC opponents all year long.
