In their last outing, the Tigers demonstrated an overwhelming dominance by securing a resounding victory over Alabama A&M Bulldogs with a score of 73-3.

The team managed an impressive total yardage of 628 yards while limiting turnovers to just two lost fumbles. Their defense was particularly noteworthy, recording three sacks and twelve tackles for loss which contributed significantly to stifling the Bulldogs' offense.
