Savannah, Ga. – Savannah State concludes the regular season today against Lane College.

Savannah State and Lane and have not met on the gridiron since 1998—during SSU's last SIAC and Division II tenure. The Tigers won that game 27-0. Savannah State and Lane first played each other in 1965.

Today the Tigers will celebrate Senior Day prior to the start of the game, where 14 student-athletes will be honored for their time at Savannah State.

LAST GAME
Savannah State spoiled Fort Valley State's playoff hopes last week with a thrilling 28-24 win at the Central City Classic in Macon, Georgia. The Tigers put together a solid game on both sides of the ball to thwart the seven-win Wildcats and pick up their third SIAC win of the season.

TOP OFFENSIVE PLAYERS
Jadon Adams started the year as the third-string backup, but quickly earned a starting role in week four. But #9 struggled a bit in week five and six and now the Tigers have switched to a rotating quarterback scheme where Adams and #12 JT Hartage share duties at the position.

Adams has put up stellar numbers in his redshirt freshman season. He leads the rushing stats and has topped the passing stats. On the ground, Adams has amassed 449 rushing yards on 94 carries with six touchdowns. From the pocket, the Savannah native has completed 50-of-91 attempts for seven touchdowns.

Hartage leads the passing stats, completing 55-of-82 attempts with four touchdowns. Adams and Hartage have a fantastic receiving core this year led by #17 Da'Shun Mitchell (456 yards on 36 catches, two touchdowns) and #15 DaMarion Colbert (309 yards on 20 catches, three TD's).

TOP DEFENSIVE PLAYERS
Savannah State's defense is led by a mix of veterans and newcomers. True Freshman #48 Tavare Brewton was named the SIAC Newcomer of the Week after a spectacular performance against Morehouse. He leads the team with 57.0 tackles this season.

Veteran #0 Makenly Newbill has been key up front for SSU. He has 48 tackles on the season, 9.5 tackles for a loss and 5.0 sacks. #10 Deon Bell (39.0 tackles), #6 Marlon Jackson (31.0 tackles), #21 D'Armani Ridley (30.0 tackles), and newcomer #47 Uchenna Nwoha (27.0 tackles) also top the stats this season.

OPPONENT SCOUTING REPORT
