For the first time since 2013, the Tennessee State Tigers are heading to the FCS Playoffs, marking a major milestone for the program under head coach Eddie George. The Tigers will face #14 Montana in the first round, a matchup that promises excitement as TSU aims to make a deep postseason run.
This season, Tennessee State has impressed with a balanced offensive attack and a resilient defense, finishing strong to secure their playoff berth. Coach George praised his team’s perseverance, saying, “This is a testament to their hard work and belief in the process. We’re excited for the opportunity.”
Montana, a perennial FCS powerhouse, presents a formidable challenge. Known for their stout defense and efficient offense, the Grizzlies will look to leverage their home-field advantage. However, TSU is confident in their ability to compete, with standout performances expected from quarterback Draylen Ellis and the Tigers’ defensive unit.
The game not only marks a return to the playoffs for TSU but also reflects the program’s upward trajectory under George’s leadership. Kickoff is set for this weekend, with fans eager to witness Tennessee State’s return to the national stage.
