Quarterback play to be big factor when Alabama State and Grambling State meet

MONTGOMERY, Alabama - The quarterback matchup between Alabama State's Greg Jenkins and Grambling State's D.J. Williams made for good chatter during today's SWAC football coaches teleconference.

The Hornets (1-1, 1-0), led by Jenkins, a senior in his second season as a starter, will travel to face the Tigers (0-2), who are guided by Williams, just a sophomore, Saturday at 6 p.m. The contest will be the SWAC TV Game of the Week and broadcasted live on the conference's Web site.

Jenkins, who threw for close to 1,500 yards and 11 scores last season when the Hornets went 8-3, picked things up in Alabama State's 29-7 win against Mississippi Valley State this past Saturday. He completed 13 of 21 passes for 130 yards and carried the ball 13 times for 91 yards and a pair of scores, both in the first half, to catapult his team to a victory.
