GRAMBLING, Louisiana – The offensive coaching staff at Grambling State has played the waiting game through the first two months of football season.
During preseason camp, head coach Broderick Fobbs knew patience would be key for a Tigers offensive unit that felt the loss of the majority of their yardage and production at the receiver position with the departure of Chad Williams to the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals as well as their other two top targets in Verlan Hunter and Dominique Leake, combining for 172 receptions and 2,443 yards.
Quarterback DeVante Kincade delivered the ball to the trio last season, completing 64 percent of his throws overall while averaging 251.9 yards a game through the air with 31 touchdowns. The new senior signal caller has spent first seven contests this year searching for the right chemistry with his receiving corps, passing for 211.4 yards per game at a 59.4 completion rate (104-for-175) with just 10 passing touchdowns.
After the aerial outburst in the 50-24 homecoming victory Saturday against Texas Southern – the first time the team has scored 50 this season – the waiting game may be over for Grambling State (7-1, 4-0).
