SIAC CHAMPIONSHIP

The heavily favored Benedict Tigers (10-0, 8-0 SIAC) and Albany State Golden Rams (6-4, 6-2 SIAC) will square off in the 2023 SIAC Football Championship Game. Chennis Berry's team is going for its second straight conference title against a Quinn Gray squad that's hot after winning four in a row. Kickoff will be at 1 PM ET inside Lakewood Stadium in Atlanta, GA.

Should Benedict win or lose, HBCU Legends still has them as the top HBCU football team in Division II for a second-straight season. Albany State is hoping for the upset...we shall see!
