GRAMBLING, Louisiana - Grambling put together a late surge to win its 18th Southwestern Athletic Conference title in 2011 and is hoping for a carry-over effect this season.The Tigers return four all-conference players, three statistical leaders and 15 starters from last season's squad, which won its last seven games after losing four of the first five.
"Even with the slow start we had, our guys stayed confident and focused," said Doug Williams, entering the second year of his second stint as head coach. "They really stayed together and kept working hard and remaining confident that they could finish up the year in a good way. And they were able to do just that. Now, we have to start all over. It's a new season."
Returning All-SWAC players include 2011 league rushing leader Dawrence Roberts, as well as offensive linemen Sanford Banks and Clint Marsh and defensive lineman Jomarcus Savage.
