First-year head coach Gordy Combs' debut at home also produced his first win. He had his players decked out in black pants and shirts, but what was Inside mattered the most, as the Towson State (1-1) comeback broke a six-game losing streak at home and gave the Tigers a .500 record for the first time In four years and a head start on Improving last year's 1-10 mark.

That's everything we've been teaching these guys over the last six said Combs, who replaced Phil Albert last February. "Have some heart, never quit They didn't" The Tigers trailed 21-10 late In the third quarter before sophomore quarterback Dan Crowley connected with Mark Orlando for a 44-yard touchdown pass, and Tony Vinson burned the Bison (1-2) with an exhilarating 25-yard run up the middle with 7:27 remaining.
