Run game, defense key to success in SWAC
For all the things that made Southwestern Athletic Conference football fans shake their heads over the years — suspect leadership, lack of direction, noticeable drops in talent — die-hards could always take heart in one thing: On the field, their teams were innovators. You remember the 1980s and early ’90s, don’t you? Long before the explosion of the spread offense and five-receiver sets, SWAC schools put on a pretty good show.
Willie Totten. Fred McNair. Steve McNair. Eric Randall. They all aired it out.
Five years ago, Grambling’s Bruce Eugene threw 50 touchdowns in one season.But take a deeper look at the league today, and you’ll come to a startling conclusion. The trend has reversed. Everything old is new again. In the modern SWAC, championship-caliber teams play old-fashioned football. They establish the run, and they play good defense. This from a league that gave us Sammy White and Harold Carmichael and Jerry Rice? Believe it.
