The Tigers must stop Alcorn quarterback Brandon Bridge, who’s given the Braves stability at the position.
Young QBs guide Grambling, Alcorn |
Halfway through an entertaining season in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, Alcorn State is tied for first place in the Eastern Division. Grambling sits atop the West. The two teams meet at 2 p.m. Saturday in what could be a doozy of a cross-divisional game.
It could also serve as a showcase for two young-but-dynamic quarterbacks: Grambling’s Anthony Carrothers and Alcorn’s Brandon Bridge. Of the SWAC’s 10 regular starting quarterbacks, Carrothers and Bridge are the only true freshmen.
1. GRAMBLING
Tigers are looking more and more like the class of the West.
2. TEXAS SOUTHERN
Besides Grambling, TSU is only team in control of its own fate.
3. JACKSON STATE
QB Therriault ranks 3rd in nation in passing with 1,772 yards.
4. ALCORN STATE
Braves can vault to top with win at Grambling this week.

Midseason progress report |
Grambling State (4-1, 4-0 SWAC)
WHAT WENT RIGHT: The running game. Grambling ranks 13th in the country in rushing, with more than 232 yards per game. Senior Frank Warren has been a workhorse. He ranks second among FCS running backs with more than 146 yards per game — less than 6 yards behind nation's leader Preston Brown (Tennessee State). Defensively, the Tigers are very impressive considering the unexpected loss of Christian Anthony, the reigning SWAC Defensive Player of the Year. The team's only loss came to FBS member Louisiana Tech.
