MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- It would've been hard for things to look worse for Alabama State early on at
Prairie View A&M this past Saturday. With their Southwestern Athletic Conference championship game hopes on the line, the Hornets were down 14. Then, senior Greg Jenkins, the Hornets second-year starter at quarterback and the conference's reining Offensive Player of the Week, went down with an injury.
The Macon, Ga. native led the
Bulldogs to 20 second-quarter points on their way to a
35-21 win at Blackshear Field. He completed 22 of 31 passing attempts for
192 yards and a pair of touchdowns and was
named SWAC Newcomer of the Week Monday.
"We've got a lot of confidence in him," Alabama State coach Reggie Barlow said
of Duhart during Monday's SWAC coaches' teleconference. "This guy is a pinpoint
passer, really cerebral, smart guy, understands the game and we gave him the
opportunity to play. He took ownership of the offense and did some really good
things for us."
