The Tennessee State University Tigers gave head coach Reggie Barlow his first win in his first game at the 2025 John A. Merritt Classic on August 30 against North Carolina A&T State University. The crowd in Nashville was treated to a close game that was not decided until the last play, TSU blocking an NCAT last-second, game-tying field goal attempt. The 24-21 victory was a great start to the season for the defending 2024 Ohio Valley-Big South Conference Co-Champions. TSU and NCAT are two of the three NCAA Division 1 HBCUs that are not in an HBCU conference.
Nissan Stadium in Nashville was taken over by top-ranked and FCS Defending National Champion North Dakota State University and its fans.

Last year's loss sparked TSU to make a run resulting in the Ohio Valley Conference title. Fans hope the same happens this year.
