SHREVEPORT, Louisiana -- Amid the backdrop of the Louisiana State Fairgrounds, Grambling’s carnival offense was on full display Saturday afternoon at Independence Stadium.
Johnathan Williams was once again the main attraction, leading the high-powered Grambling offense to a 41-15 win over Texas Southern in the Red River State Fair Classic. But it was junior wide out Verlan Hunter who put on a show to remember in front of plenty of friends and family.
“I could feel the energy and came into the game more focused because I was coming home playing in front of a crowd that I’m pretty familiar with,” said Hunter, who graduated from nearby Mansfield High School.
He had a pair of highlight reel second-quarter touchdown receptions that were part of a 31-point first half for Grambling (7-2, 7-0 SWAC). The offense scored on four of its first five offensive possessions to eliminate any notion of a possible letdown per412formance in front of the 9,868 in attendance.
