LORMAN, Mississippi -- Alcorn’s Southwestern Athletic Conference title defense is put to the test against Mississippi Valley Saturday in Lorman. The Braves are coming off a win against Alabama State, where they showed their domineering strength to kick off their conference opener. The defense was able to contain the Hornets passing game only allowing 99 yards, but gave up 137 yards on the ground. The Braves hurt themselves with 15 penalties costing them 141 yards in the process.
Valley always presents a tough matchup for Alcorn so they’re not taking this game lightly. Playing a ranked team like Georgia Tech in his season opener prepared the Braves for tough games later in the season.
“We know we always got to be prepared and ready, because it’s always a battle. The Booker (Chambers) kid made a couple of nice plays Thursday night,” Alcorn coach Jay Hopson said during his SWAC teleconference reflecting on Valley’s game against Southern University.
