written by:stacia_doss.This weekend, I journeyed to Nashville, Tennessee for a college football game. It was unfortunately a loss for Tennessee State University to Austin Peay State University. The APSU Governors closed it out with a close 26-23 victory against TN State's Tigers.
The opposite was happening in West Tennessee football. To my surprise, my alma mater, The University of Memphis' Tigers gained their first victory at home against the Middle Tennessee State University Blue Raiders. With a 24-17 win, the Tigers experienced their first "W" with their new coach, Larry Porter.
When I went to bed that Saturday night, I woke up with higher hopes for another Tennessee team that would also play at home on LP Field Sunday at noon, the Tennessee Titans.
The battle against the 2008 Champion Pittsburgh Steelers turned out to be an upset for another Tennessee football team. The strong Steelers defense was no match for the shaky Titans offense Sunday afternoon.
Tennessee returned to the locker room with a 19-11 loss and more yards than Pittsburgh, but a painful seven turnovers, over just one for the Steelers. Check out the boxscore.
Better luck next weekend, I hope?!
College Tigers of The U of M will head to El Paso, TX to battle UTEP and TSU will face FAMU in the Atlanta Classic in Georgia next week.
The Tennessee Titans will prepare to play the New York Giants at the New Meadowlands Stadium.
