GSU HEAD COACH BRODERICK FOBBS

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama   -- Grambling quarterback Johnathan Williams accounted for three touchdowns as the Tigers ran away from Alabama A&M in the second half of a 38-28 win in Huntsville, Ala.

The Tigers (3-3, 3-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference) start 3-0 in SWAC play for the first time since 2010 and put together their first three-game winning streak since 2011 when GSU won seven conference games in a row en route to a title.

Williams, the only GSU quarterback to attempt a pass, threw for two touchdowns and ran for another. He passed for 291 yards on 23-of-37 and an interception while doubling as GSU's leading rusher with 62 yards.

Alabama A&M (2-4, 1-2) opened the fourth quarter with running back Harvey Harris' second touchdown, but a failed two-point conversion allowed GSU to keep a 24-22 lead.
