Alabama A&M rolls over Tuskegee, 30-17

Box Score TUSKEGEE – Bryan Brower scored two touchdowns and Jaymason Lee passed for two more as Alabama A&M beat Tuskegee 30-17 Saturday.

The Bulldogs win was the first for Head Coach James Spady.

"I can't describe it," Spady said of his first win.

For the Bulldogs, it was a turn-around from last week's 47-13 loss to North Carolina A&T.

"We asked them what kind of legacy do they want," Spady said. "I appreciate the way they responded."

Alabama A&M (1-1) scored first at the 7:23 mark when Brower scored on a 5-yard run, capping a 10 play, 67-yard drive.

But the Golden Tigers (0-1) answered a couple minutes later when quarterback Justin Nared hit Marquel Gardner on an 87-yard scoring strike with 5:27 left in the quarter.

Lightning struck twice here as Lee found Octayvius Miles for a 72-yard catch and run to put the Bulldogs up 14-7 at 4:06 of the quarter.

The Golden Tigers cut the lead to 14-10 on a 33-yard field goal from Trevor Wylie.

In the second quarter, the Bulldogs scored on a 77-yard pass from Lee to Montaurius Smith and Brower scored his second TD of the game on a 4-yard run with 2:18 to play.

Michael Thornton scored for Tuskegee with 12:49 left in the third to cut A&M's advantage to 27-17 but A&M kicker Cesar Ramon Diaz wrapped up the scoring with a 38-yard field goal with 7:31 left in the game.

The Bulldogs travel to Alabama-Birmingham next Saturday for a 2:30 p.m. kickoff.
