Howard, Morehouse keep trash talk at a minimum for this year’s Nation’s Football Classic
|
Posted By: Joyce Brayboy on August 31, 2012 Lauren McEwen writing for the Washington Post, wrote a blog about the Howard University and Morehouse College face-off this weekend during the second annual AT&T Nation’s Football Classic at RFK Stadium. Just a couple days earlier it was reported that up to 14 Howard football players have been declared ineligible to play in Saturday's game. But Bison fans are still gearing up for the game and for the first game of the season TAILGAITING. “Last year’s victory over Morehouse was a huge win for us and was a catalyst for a great season for us,” Howard head football coach Gary Harrell told NationsFootballClassic.com. “With this year’s Classic being the season opener for both teams, the energy and level of play is going to be that more intense.” The 2011 Nation’s Football Classic – the first meeting between Morehouse and Howard in 14 years – left Morehouse’s Maroon Tigers with something to prove. Howard defeated Morehouse on the field and at the podium. They won the football game, 30-27, and crushed Morehouse in the inaugural Mordecai Wyatt Johnson – Benjamin E. Mays Student Debate, or “The Game Before the Game” “Every win gives us a little more confidence,” said Rodney Hill, a senior defensive lineman from Reading, Pa. This is his fourth year playing for Howard. For full story, visit http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/theroo...
