Early 9-0 lead fizzles in a hurry as Tigers rollGame statistics
DALLAS — Everything that had gone right for Prairie View A&M in the first four games went wrong in the span of 52 seconds Saturday. A pair of Grambling State touchdowns early in the second quarter helped the Tigers overcome an early nine-point deficit en route to a 40-16 win in the State Farm Classic at the Cotton Bowl. The loss not only dented Prairie View’s Southwestern Athletic Conference hopes but also extended its losing streak to Grambling State (4-2, 1-0 SWAC) to 23 games.
“There is nothing we can do about this,” PV coach Henry Frazier said. “There is still a lot of football left. We didn’t perform, but I can promise you that this team will be ready (next week at home against Alabama State).” The Tigers looked nothing like the team that entered with the SWAC’s worst offense. Quarterback Greg Dillon had four touchdown passes. Prairie View (4-1, 1-1), which entered the game with the second-best scoring defense among Football Championship Subdivision teams, allowed its most points since Grambling scored 53 against the Panthers in 2006.
