PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas -- Prairie View A&M returns home to the friendly confines of Blackshear Field for the first time this season as they host the Alabama A&M Bulldogs in a key SWAC match-up on Saturday evening at 6 p.m.  Both teams enter the game looking to get back on the winning track as both fell in contrasting fashions last weekend on the road.

The Panthers are coming off an emotional double overtime loss to Southern last weekend in Baton Rouge, La. while Alabama A&M fell to South Carolina State in a non-conference match-up.  Prairie View A&M enters today's game looking to snap a two-game slide to the Bulldogs which dates back to 2011.  When A&M entered the SWAC in 1999, the contest was scheduled in September until 2004 when the series was pushed back to the end of the season.  Prairie View A&M began to have success against the Bulldogs when playing in November as they rattled off six straight wins until 2011. 

When playing in September, the series favors AAMU as they're 5-0 against the Panthers during that span.

Offensively, the Panthers feature a balanced attack led by junior quarterback Jerry Lovelocke (755 yards passing, 3 TDs), running back Courtney Brown (114 ypg, 5 TD), running back Johnta' Hebert (72 ypg, 4 TD) and wide receiver Deandre Cooper (21 receptions).  Defensively, linebackers Raheem Cardwell, Jerome Howard and Jamespaul Bryant lead the way with 37, 26 and 19 tackles, respectively.  Howard has a team-high three sacks and six tackles for loss.
