Tomorrow: SWAC & Ivy
Way to go NCCU this will make you a powerhouse in the MEAC.
Was that 2-pt by Vandy a fake PAT? I can see getting caught off-guard by that. But if the Vandy offense stayed in after the Chuck South PAT Block came on, that's inexcusable....
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
Best Performance: Grambling 28, Alcorn St. 21 - Just when you thought Alcorn would cruise unobstructed toward a SWAC title, last year's conference laughing stocks rise up & knock them off.
Worst Performance: Jackson St. 23, Mississippi Valley St. 27 - Last week's second-half hangover for the Tigers continues as they lose to MVSU for the first time in 20 years.
Most Surprising Result: Alcorn St. 21, Grambling 28 - Odd that they lost given the Braves won pretty much every stat, but it may not really matter since they can still easily win the East and get revenge in the SWAC Championship Game
Will Grambling have what it takes to knock off Southern this year?
I hope so....
