Bayou Classic: Southern breaks skid, beats Grambling 38-28 with Ladarius Skelton leading the way

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana -- Southern quarterback Ladarius Skelton’s much-anticipated Bayou Classic debut looked at the start like a warm-up act.

By the second half, it had turned smashing.

Skelton, a sophomore transfer playing in his first Classic, threw two of his three touchdown passes in the third quarter to break open the game and carry the Jaguars to a 38-28 victory Saturday in front of 67,871 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The raw stats weren’t important to Jaguar Nation. Skelton and his mates delivered Southern from Grambling’s three-game Bayou Classic winning streak and landed the SWAC West Division title.

Southern (7-3, 6-1) will play at East Division champ Alcorn State on Saturday for the conference title.
