Alcorn State, Tuskegee Remain On Top in Week 3 of HSRN Polls

HARTLEY, Delaware  –  Alcorn State University and Tuskegee University held on to the top spots following the third full week of HBCU football action.   The Braves of ASU remained in the top FCS position while TU’s Golden Tigers were unanimously picked #1 in DivisionII/NAIA HSRN Football Polls.
 
In the Division I FCS poll, Alcorn State celebrated “Family and Friends Day” by demolishing Mississippi Valley State, 55-14, in their home opener at Spinks-Casem Stadium.
North Carolina A&T moved up to second place followed by South Carolina State, Southern and Bethune-Cookman.
 
In Division II, Tuskegee’s 28-13 win over Winston-Salem State left no doubt about their strength in the division.  The Golden Tigers are undefeated and captured all the first place votes of the HSRN pollsters.
 
Virginia Union and Virginia State tied for second place leading a strong representation for the CIAA.  Elizabeth City has moved into third place followed by Bowie State and Livingstone.  Chowan enters the poll at #7 following their stunning defeat of Delaware State, 31-30, in Dover.
