HOUSTON, Texas -- Though the rhythmic dance motions and renditions of popular music during the halftime battle of the bands attracts many to the Labor Day Classic, Prairie View A&M’s dominating performance may have stolen the show.
Prairie View defeated Texas Southern 37-13 before a crowd of 18,361 in the teams’ Southwestern Athletic Conference opener Saturday at BBVA Compass Stadium.
“Anytime Prairie View can beats Texas Southern, it’s a good day for the university,” Prairie View coach Heishma Northern said. “It’s all about the effort that our guys played with.”
The rivalry game took so much out of Northern that he needed an IV after the game ended. The third-year coach can rest easy after pushing his record to 2-1 in the Labor Day Classic.
The game started with an offensive flourish — each team scored touchdowns on its opening drive.
TSU made big plays in the running game, while Prairie View drove down the field with its quick-passing attack.
