HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Mabel Lawrence, sitting up there in the early-fall chill at Louis Crews Stadium, had a sinking feeling. "Oh, Lord, my baby done dropped the ball," she said to herself, watching son Reshaad DeJarnett, an Alabama A&M freshman, botch a punt return.
"Then," she continued, "they (Texas Southern) made a touchdown and it was like, 'Oh, Lord, they're going to win because my baby done dropped the ball."
Only moments later, Lawrence, the executive director of the public housing authority in Eclectic, was on her feet instead of having head in hand.
"When he caught the ball and was running down the field, I was 'Go Reshaad! Go Reshaad! Go Reshaad! "That's my baby!"
