Clark Atlanta University Announces 2010 Football Schedule
ATLANTA (May 10, 2010) – Dr. Tamica Smith Jones, Director of Athletics, recently released Clark Atlanta University’s (CAU) 2010 Football Schedule. The 10-game season includes nine Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) games and one classic.
CAU finished the 2009 campaign 3-7 overall (3-6 SIAC) and will play four conference road games, five conference home games and one non-conference, neutral-site classic for the 2010 campaign. Homecoming is slated for October 2 as the Panthers battle conference foe Stillman College at 1:30 p.m. at Panther Stadium.
Emerging from last season, the Clark Atlanta University (CAU) Panthers envision new success and are ready to take on the challenges of playing in the SIAC. Head Coach Daryl McNeill and staff have strategically analyzed weaknesses and the turning point from last season and noticed “finishing strong” was a key problem. “Starting strong and finishing strong is not just a goal for each game; it is the goal for the season and must commence at our first game,” said Head Coach Daryl McNeill.
The Panthers open the 2010 season on August 28 against Lane College in Jackson, Tenn. Last season, the Panthers dealt the Dragons a 33-0 defeat behind Winston Thompson’s 151 rushing yards. CAU then travels to Albany State University (September 11) and Miles College (September 18). The last road trip in September is to St. Louis, Mo. in a SIAC-SWAC showdown against the Golden Lions of Arkansas-Pine Bluff in the 2010 Gateway Classic at Edward Jones Dome.
CAU returns to Atlanta for its home opener on October 2, in a homecoming matchup against Stillman, followed by a home game against Fort Valley State University. The Panthers hit the road one last time on October 16, traveling to Frankfort, Ky. to take on Kentucky State University. CAU ends the 2010 regular season with three home games against conference opponents Tuskegee University (October 23), Morehouse College (October 30) and Benedict College (November 6).
