Lenorris Footman sparks Alcorn State to SWAC title
HOUSTON, Texas — One hour before kickoff of the Southwestern Athletic Conference Championship Game, Alcorn State had not announced who would be starting at quarterback.
Following a 49-21 rout of Grambling, the Braves can feel confident that they have two good choices going forward.
When healthy, the Braves have played 2014 SWAC co-Offensive Player of the Year John Gibbs Jr.
With Gibbs only at 85-90 percent following a high ankle sprain from earlier in the season, the Braves went with sophomore Lenorris Footman, who put on a show.
Footman passed for 202 yards and three touchdowns, while running for another 101 yards and a fourth score.
“Lenorris is a young man that we knew was a great football player. He just needed his opportunity,” Alcorn State coach Jay Hopson said.
“We have two outstanding quarterbacks. Usually there is a big drop off from 1 to 2, but not with them.”
