Alcorn State wins first SWAC title in 20 years

HOUSTON, Texas  -- In a regular-season meeting this season, Alcorn State demolished Southern by 40 points. On Saturday, the Braves became the undisputed champions of the Southwestern Athletic Conference with another victory over the Jaguars.

It wasn't another shellacking, but it was convincing at 38-24. And it was a win for the Braves, who claimed their first conference championship since 1994.



"It's a special day to be an Alcorn Brave," third-year Alcorn State coach Jay Hopson said. "We're moving all our home games to Houston."

Hopson was referencing that his star quarterback John Gibbs Jr., who accounted for 245 passing yards and 132 rushing yards, is from Houston, playing at Houston Washington High School.
