ATLANTA, Georgia -- Alcorn State Braves
Head Coach: Fred McNair
Conference: Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC), FCS
Player(s) to Watch: RB, P.J. Simmons
Game Date: September 1, 2018
The Alcorn State Braves finished the 2017 football season with a 7-5 record and lost to Grambling State in the SWAC Championship Game 40-32. The Braves have become the perennial SWAC east division champions – winning the division the previous four seasons. The Braves will look to continue that trend, and running back P.J. Simmons will look to build on his 2017 campaign (687 yards and 7 touchdowns).
Georgia Tech and Alcorn State last squared off on September 3, 2015, with the Yellow Jackets winning easily, 69-6 at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Unfortunately that was one of only three wins for Georgia Tech in all of 2015. In contrast, the Braves would go on to win the SWAC Championship and Jay Hopson would go on to accept the head coaching position at the University of Southern Mississippi.
No Georgia Tech football team has ever lost to an FCS opponent. Therefore, Georgia Tech fans should enter this game with a high degree of confidence.
