LORMAN, Mississippi -- Two weeks have passed since Alcorn State last played a game, and that contest resulted in a 35-34 overtime loss to Grambling.
Braves coach Jay Hopson said he’s sure his team can’t wait to get back on the field when it hits the road to face Southern at 4 p.m. Saturday at A.W. Mumford Stadium in Baton Rouge.
But Hopson knows one player in particular is itching to get back out there, and that’s running back Darryan Ragsdale, who fumbled twice and was held to 3.6 yards per carry in the Grambling loss, which came on Alcorn State’s homecoming.
“He’s just a warrior; he’s been such a good football player for us,” Hopson said earlier this week. “That stuff (the mistakes) happens; you don’t ever like it, but he’s a tough all-around football player. He’s a fighter.”
Ragsdale, who grew up in Pelahatchie, has rushed for 513 yards and five touchdowns this season while averaging 85.5 yards per game on the ground, which ranks second in the SWAC.
