GRAMBLING, Louisiana – It’s the matchup predicted in the preseason to take place for the final SWAC Championship Game.After the 27-point drumming back in October in the regular season, people around the league didn’t know what to expect. But here we are and the preseason claim of Grambling State (10-1) and Alcorn State (7-4) battling it out for the SWAC title for the third straight season has come to fruition.
While the Tigers’ blowout victory over the Braves might suggest Saturday’s contest might not be close, GSU head football coach Broderick Fobbs, his coaching staff and players as well as Alcorn State head football coach Fred McNair with his coaching staff and players know all too well that once the two teams get together in the SWAC championship game, all bets are off.
“You’re talking about the sixth time in three years,” said Fobbs of Grambling facing Alcorn. “We definitely know each other and know what each other likes to do. For us, it’s about cleaning up our mistakes up for this contest and really getting into the swing of things.”
