Young GSU Tigers have building blocks

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana  -- The 2012 football season mercifully came to end for Grambling on Saturday in a 38-33 loss to Southern in the Bayou Classic.

The Tigers (1-10, 0-9 Southwestern Athletic Conference) went winless in league play for the first time since joining the SWAC in 1958, but Grambling didn't leave the Mercedes-Benz Superdome empty-handed.

Although no GSU coach, player or alumni is accustomed to a season like this (it's the worst record in program history since at least 1941), Tiger fans did see a team that didn't quit in the season finale.

The Grambling defense forced two early turnovers, which the offense cashed in for a 14-0 lead.

The Tigers looked the best they had all season with the offense and defense producing at the same time, a rarity in 2012.

But Southern quarterback ...
