LORMAN, Mississippi -- After Lenorris Footman stepped in for an injured John Gibbs Jr., scored six rushing touchdowns, outrushed Southern and broke a school rushing record, Alcorn looks to carry the momentum over into Saturday’s home game against Prairie View A&M.
The game between the Braves (5-2, 4-1 Southwestern Athletic Conference) and the Panthers (6-2, 5-1) puts the conference’s top scoring offensive and defensive teams against each other for an exciting game of X’s and O’s.
“We have an excellent team coming to town. It’s a conference game so it’s going to be a tough hard fought 60 minute battle,” said Alcorn coach Jay Hopson.
Prairie View averages 45 points a game and also leads the SWAC in total offense. It has 3,439 yards and has scored 44 touchdowns. The Panthers accumulated most of their yards in the air and are smart with their passes, having only thrown three interceptions all season.
In addition to the high-scoring offense, the Panthers have converted almost 50 percent of their third downs and are around 70 percent when going for it on fourth down.
