Grambling expects defense to improve for Jackson State

GRAMBLING, Louisiana  — The focus surrounding Grambling’s program this week should have been the Tigers’ latest 70-point scoring outburst. Instead, talk of the Tigers’ leaky defense and the 54 points allowed to Prairie View A&M reared its head once again.
