SHREVEPORT, Louisiana -- Grambling State coach Broderick Fobbs came to Shreveport to deliver a friendly word of advice to fans attending Saturday’s Red River State Fair Classic at Independence Stadium.Don’t spend too long in the bathroom or at the concession stands. Even just looking away at the wrong moment could lead to missing touchdowns from the Tigers’ explosive offense.
“For us, it’s basketball on grass,” Fobbs said during Tuesday afternoon’s press conference at Independence Stadium. “We want to play as fast as we possibly can. We want to take a snap every time a fan breathes.”
That approach appears to be working quite well for the SWAC Western Division leaders, who bring a six-game win streak with them to Saturday’s game against Texas Southern. Despite possessing the ball for less time than all but three FCS schools, Grambling ranks fifth in the country with 43.9 points per game.
Senior quarterback Johnathan Williams leads a spread offense with a host of weapons, and Fobbs said the Tigers look ready to play their best football this November. Eight different Grambling players have caught touchdown passes, and running back Martez Carter averages 84.6 yards per game for a strong rushing attack.
