ATLANTA, Georgia -- On Friday, Alcorn State coach Jay Hopson said every football team wants to go as far as it can go.
The Braves went as far as they could this season, but still fell 9 yards short of taking home a trophy.
Alcorn State quarterback Lenorris Footman’s pass fell incomplete on fourth-and-goal from the 9 with 13 seconds left, which sealed North Carolina A&T’s 41-34 victory in front of 35,528 fans in the inaugural Celebration Bowl at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on Saturday.
“It was a hard-fought football game; those are always tough to lose,” Hopson said. “Give North Carolina A&T a lot of credit. They played a very good football game, exceptional game … we played hard and gave ourselves a chance, but just fell short.”
