Tigers Win Back-To-Back SIAC Championships
With 47-10 Victory Over Albany State
ATLANTA, Ga. — The sixth-ranked Benedict College Tigers won their second straight SIAC Football Championship with a dominating 47-10 victory over Albany State University on Saturday, securing their second straight 11-0 season. The Benedict defense held the Golden Rams to a season-low 193 yards of total offense, while the Tigers racked up a season-high 563 yards of offense. Quarterback Aeneas Dennis threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns, and rushed for a season-high 95 yards and a touchdown, scoring on a 72-yard run in the third quarter. The Tigers rushed for a season-high 251 yards on the ground, as backup quarterback Zavien Foster scored on a 75-yard run in the fourth quarter. Benedict’s nation-best defense also put on a show, holding the Golden Rams to zero yards passing in the first half, and Jayden Broughton had a third-quarter strip sack that Loobert Denelus recovered in the end zone for a touchdown. Benedict sacked three different Albany State quarterbacks eight times for -43 yards. Benedict started slow, with Tom Piccirillo getting the Tigers on the scoreboard with a 25-yard field goal midway through the first quarter. The Tigers then struck with a pair of big pass plays, as Dennis hit Caden High for a 28-yard score, and Reginald Harden for a 55-yard touchdown to increase the lead to 17-0. benedict.edu/tigers-win-back-to-back-siac-championships-with-47-10-victory-over-albany-state/

Great, they have a good team - watched them a couple of times on TV against Edward Waters and Kentucky State.
