LORMAN, Mississippi – Alcorn State received the same send-off gift it gave Jackson State last year. A loss.The Braves punched their ticket to the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship game two weeks ago.
And what seemed to be a final tuneup before that trip to Houston on Dec. 6 turned out to be something else.
The Braves were upset by the Tigers 34-31 Saturday at Jack Spinks-Casem Stadium, leaving a crowd of 27,533 (mostly Braves fans) silent, wondering what happened in the final five minutes of the game.
“We didn’t execute on both sides of the ball, offensively and defensively, to do the things we needed to do to be successful,” Alcorn State coach Jay Hopson said. “We had some plays too that we thought were big plays but wound up not being big plays.”
