Tuskegee 27, Miles 31
FARIFIELD, Ala. – Say one thing about about a Miles football game in 2018…leaving before the final second has ticked off the clock will probably mean you missed something.
The Golden Bears scored on a 27-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Smith to Leonard Tyree with 1:45 remaining, then forced four incomplete passes on the ensuing series – the last coming with 16 seconds left – to defeat Tuskegee 31-27 in front of a capacity Senior Day crowd at Sloan-Alumni Stadium. The win made Miles (4-6, 4-2 SIAC West) the SIAC Western Division winners and earned it a spot in the league championship game next week against Albany State.

Benedict 18, Kentucky State 0
RANKFORT, Ky.—Deveall McClendon rushed for a career-high 160 yards, and the Benedict Tigers held Kentucky State to just two yards rushing and 98 yards of total offense to close out the 2018 season with an 18-0 victory over the Thorobreds on Saturday.
McClendon rushed for 160 yards on 21 carries to become the first Tiger to cross the 100-yard mark since Trini Charlton rushed for 126 yards against Livingstone in the 2017 season opener. His 160 yards marks the most by a Tiger since George Myers Jr. rushed for 171 yards against Kentucky State two years ago. His previous career-high was 59 yards against Lane last season.
Benedict wraps up the season at 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the SIAC. Kentucky State falls to 0-10 overall and 0-6 in the SIAC.
