Alabama A&M pitches complete game shutout in 35-0 defeat of Mississippi Valley State

ITTA BENA, Mississippi---You're going to have to be able to do it all to beat Alabama A&M.
That became crystal clear in the Bulldogs' 35-0 dissection of Mississippi Valley State at Rice-Totten Stadium Saturday afternoon.

Coming into the Southwestern Athletic Conference eastern division contest, Valley ranked dead last in the conference in passing. However, the Delta Devils still presented a formidable challenge with the conference's top-ranked defense and the leader in yards per carry in senior tailback Brandon Stansell.

The seasoned Bulldogs showed why they're rated behind only Tennessee State in nearly every national black college football poll, dominating from start to finish to improve their record to 6-0.

They won the time of possession battle on their way to a fourth-straight 30-plus point performance, holding the ball for roughly five more minutes, running 17 more plays and gaining nearly 200 more yards than their opposition.

Defensively, they pitched their first shutout of the season while forcing three turnovers.
