LORMAN, Mississippi -- In the eyes of some, the Alcorn State vs. Grambling State matchup could very well be a potential preview of the SWAC Championship. Both teams were tabbed as preseason favorites to win their respective divisions, and the game will match the No. 1 scoring offense in the SWAC (Grambling State) against the top scoring defense in the SWAC (Alcorn State). It will also feature two of the top sack teams in the nation. Alcorn tops the nation with 24 sacks, and Grambling ranks No. 5 with 21. The Tigers have spread the wealth this season, as they have nine players with at least two sacks this year.The last time Alcorn State hosted Grambling State, the Braves were one of the worst teams in the SWAC and the Tigers ended up as conference champions with a national ranking to boot.
Eight years later, Alcorn is at the top of the heap and Grambling will finally be back at Jack Spinks Stadium, which expects a sellout for the conference's division leaders.
The season's most highly anticipated SWAC matchup is here, and one of these teams' four-game win streaks will come to an end Saturday.
