September 17, 2005

The Tigers of Saint Paul’s College traveled to Martinsville, VA to take on the Fayetteville State University Broncos in the 2nd Annual Clyde Williams Classic. The defending CIAA Western Division champions would prevail, defeating the Tigers by a final score of 23-13. SPC would strike early in the contest on a 37-yard field goal by Shaun Gutierrez with 11:46 remaining in the first quarter. The Tigers would continue to rely on special teams, as Gutierrez kicked a second field goal (47-yards) as time expired in the first half of play. Gutierrez’s 2 field goals would be the only points that the Tigers would post during the first half of the contest.

The Tigers’ lone touchdown would be a 7-yard run in the third quarter by Larry Graham. The Saint Paul’s College ground attack would once again prove to be the brighter side of the Tiger offense. The Tigers would rush for 160 yards, while the aerial attack would be responsible for 90 yards. Terrell Bailey would lead all SPC running backs with 88 yards in the contest. Defensively, the Tigers were lead by linebacker Mario Woods, who would be responsible for 8.5 tackles and one sack.

SPC’S Shaun Gutierrez would be named the Clyde Williams Classic Offensive Player of the Game. Defensive honors would go to Fayetteville State’s Dante Wise.
