LORMAN, Mississippi — Grambling State University head football coach Broderick Fobbs learned plenty about his top-ranked SWAC Tigers, on Saturday as they invaded Alcorn State University (4-2, 4-1 SWAC) and disturbed an otherwise pleasant homecoming.
Running back Martez Carter rushed for 132 yards — his third 100-yard rushing game this season — and scored a touchdown in overtime as GSU withstood the No. 1-ranked black college football team to rally from behind for a 35-34 OT victory.
It was the final play of overtime that secured the Grambling State (5-2, 5-0 SWAC) win as defensive tackle D’Angelo Bulter-Gatson blocked a Haiden McCradey extra point that would have tied the game, forcing a second overtime. GSU fans had traveled from across Mississippi, northern Louisiana and beyond — and they went wild.
“Those kids fight, they fight they kept fighting,” Fobbs said after the game. “…they thought they were burying us. But they didn’t know we were a seed, we’re coming from the ground. We’re Grambling! That’s just the way we are. We’re Grambling! We going to fight.”
