PVAMU Panthers steamroll AAMU 'dogs


Still not Dogs' day, PVAMU 24, AAMU 10

Quick start doesn't last as Prairie View beats Alabama A&M again. Alabama A&M's offense has been missing in action for much of the season. Quarterback Kevin Atkins and company have been anything but a well-oiled machine. However, the Bulldogs, seeking a fast start Saturday against Prairie View in an important Southwestern Athletic Conference game, got exactly what they wanted as Thomas Harris' 68-yard catch and run 17 seconds into the game gave them an early lead. It was 10-7 after Jeremy Licea's 23-yard field goal early in the second quarter.

But as it has done throughout the season, A&M struggled the rest of the way, and Prairie View went on to claim a 24-10 victory on Senior Day at Louis Crews Stadium before an announced crowd of 3,810. "We've done the same thing all year in these big games," A&M coach Anthony Jones said. "We haven't been able to make enough big plays, and when you play a good football team like we did today and you don't make big plays and you're not consistent, you're going to come up short, and that's what happened."
