Celebration Bowl: Alcorn State Braves vs. North Carolina A&T Aggies
Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl: Alcorn State Braves vs. North Carolina A&T Aggies
Date: Dec. 19, Noon ET on ABC
Location: Atlanta | Georgia Dome
Alcorn State Braves
Best moment: Alcorn State won its second consecutive SWAC title when it dismantled Grambling State in the SWAC championship on Saturday. The 49-21 win healed the deep wounds that remained from a homecoming loss to Grambling State in mid-October. In the rematch, Alcorn State made sure there would be no repeat of that October performance. It turned a 28-14 halftime lead into a four-touchdown margin midway through the fourth quarter to claim a second straight conference championship.
Lowest moment: It would be that midseason loss to Grambling State, a game in which Alcorn State also led 28-14 at the half. In the first meeting, however, Alcorn State blew the lead and lost in overtime 35-34. Costly second-half fumbles allowed Grambling State to climb back into the game, but the pivotal mistake came in overtime when Alcorn State’s game-tying extra point was blocked.
