Alabama A&M at Mississippi Valley State will feature SWAC top passer, rusher

ITTA BENA, Mississippi  -  Alabama A&M coach Anthony Jones and Mississippi Valley State coach Karl Morgan have mutual respect for each other's stars.

The Bulldogs (5-0) will travel to Itta Bena, Miss. to face the Delta Devils (1-3, 1-1) on their homecoming Saturday at 2 p.m. The SWAC eastern division matchup will pit the conference's top passer, Alabama A&M's Deaunte Mason, and top rusher, Valley's Brandon Stansell, against each other.

Mason, who has led the 5-0 Bulldogs to their best start in nearly 50 years, has been the talk of the conference and even made national headlines. Last year, The 6-foot-3, 209-pound Nashville native took his team to the SWAC title game where it fell 16-15 to Grambling State. After ho-hum offensive performances in wins against Tuskegee and Arkansas-Pine Bluff to start the season, he's won three straight SWAC Offensive Player of the Week awards.
