PVAMU: Looking for Reasons

Prairie View, Texas -- Prairie View A&M football coach Heishma Northern was left searching for answers in the wake of Saturday's 44-14 loss to Southwestern Athletic Conference rival Jackson State in Shreveport, La.

Prairie View (4-4, 4-3 SWAC) suffered its second consecutive defeat but remains in first place in the Western Division.
