And no, it wasn’t legendary quarterback Doug Williams, nor his son D.J. Williams.
Junior Johnathan Williams, who started in place of a banged up D.J. Williams, totaled seven touchdowns — five passing and two rushing — in a masterful performance to help secure the first victory of the season in a 47-40 win over Mississippi Valley State on Saturday.
Grambling, which snapped an 18-game losing streak to NCAA opponents and a 15-game SWAC losing streak, both dating back to 2011, held on in a wild back-and-forth shootout with former players and alumni in the stands for homecoming.
“I need to thank the man upstairs. I couldn’t have done it without my teammates, though,” said Williams, who finished with 316 total yards and accounted for every Grambling score. “It was a must-win situation. I just had to lay it all out on the field.”
