Savannah State and Benedict College last met on the field of battle 733 days ago on Sept. 21, 2019 at the Augusta Classic in Augusta, Ga. The Tigers scored a 21-14 victory that day en-route to a 5-0 SIAC mark. Running back D'Angelo Durham earned MVP status after he led the rushing with 85 yards on 21 carries.
 
Both teams are new this year. Savannah State is trading out quarterbacks (D'Vonn Gibbons and JT Hartage) and half the team are freshman or redshirt freshman with a core of returners in starting roles. Benedict as a new coach, Chennis Berry commanding their sideline and on 27 returners from the 2019 team. Berry is a 1994 Savannah State graduate and was an All-SIAC offensive tackle for the Tigers. He's led Benedict to victories to open the 2021 season.
