GRAMBLING — The running back battle between Dawrence Roberts and Jeremy Runner continued Saturday night against Alabama State, but only one thing seemed to be clear.The Tigers' offensive line was no match for the Alabama State defense in a 19-18 loss.
Grambling gained 78 yards on 35 attempts, which is 2.2 yards per carry.
Roberts, a junior who was named the SWAC Preseason Offensive Player of the Year, looked like he wanted his job back with a 30-yard run on his first carry.
He made several tacklers miss, and he finished the run in a strong fashion.
But on the same drive, GSU couldn't punch in a score with a first down from the 1-yard line. That series of plays included three Roberts' carries, which included a toss play for minus-3.
Roberts finished with 33 yards on seven carries.
