GRAMBLING, Louisiana – No one had a better vantage point than Martez Carter.Managing just 77 yards on the ground in the season opener at Tulane, Grambling State’s offensive line, in Week 2 versus Northwestern State in the team’s home opener last Saturday, knew it needed to have a better performance. Carter saw just that.
“Coach always says the biggest jump is from Week 1 to 2. We got back to that drawing board and those guys, they really dug deep,” Carter said of his offensive line. “It’s a pride thing and a dignity thing, and those guys really felt like they had something to prove. As you saw, the outcome was basically that. Those guys got a man on a man, they did a good job of executing and made my job a little bit easier.”
The five-man front, with experienced guys, senior left tackle Trent Scott and sophomore right guard William Waddell, along with three guys getting their second start in left guard Darrell Brown, center Will Jefferson and right tackle Keeyon Smart, pushed the Demon defensive line around for much of the night and paved the way for 204 rushing yards on 39 attempts.
