How turnovers, lack of run game are causing TSU football to blow big leads in OVC games

Tennessee State football has committed six turnovers the past two games, which has cost the Tigers a chance to break their OVC losing streak.

Tennessee State football has been plagued by turnovers and a lack of run game, leading to blown leads in Ohio Valley Conference games. On October 10, the Tigers faced UT Martin and fell 42-28 after the passing game broke down. Quarterback Daylin Lee, who led a 21-7 first-half lead with four touchdowns, including a program-record 99-yard one to Cam Bulluck, also threw three interceptions.

Lee had been dealing with injuries, including a sore shoulder. In their previous game on October 3, Western Illinois rallied from a 21-10 deficit to win 28-21. Tigers' coach Reggie Barlow attributed the poor run game to his team's struggles, noting that the offense is still working on improvements, particularly with the line.
