LORMAN, Mississippi - First-year Alcorn State football coach Jay Hopson had a simple message for his team at halftime.You've tried it your way, now try mine.
Trailing preseason SWAC favorite Grambling State 14-6 at the half of last Saturday's Port City Classic in Shreveport, Hopson reminded his players of one of his favorite coaching adages.
"You have to do things right if you're going to be successful," Hopson said. "It's all about letting them know they have to do the little things ... that's what football comes down to."
Alcorn went on to score 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to open the Hopson era with a dramatic - and unexpected - 22-21 victory over the defending SWAC champions.
