Grambling took its lumps last week in its season opener falling 49-13 to Nevada. The young Tigers gave up 426 rushing yards and scored one offensive touchdown. The Alcorn State game puts Grambling on a more level playing field. Alcorn State fell to Southeastern Louisiana last week, 36-28, and returns 12 starters from last year’s 2-8 campaign. Both teams will be looking for a 1-0 start in SWAC play.
KEYS TO VICTORY: Grambling had great trouble running the ball against Nevada, finishing the game with just five net rushing yards. The Grambling offensive line needs a much better performance against Alcorn State. Sophomore quarterback Greg Dillon is still learning the ropes, and if Grambling can’t run the ball it puts too much pressure on Dillon.
