Grambling vs. Alcorn State, again, for SWAC title
LUT WILLIAMS
BCSP Editor
Head coaches Broderick Fobbs of West
Division champion Grainbling State and Fred
McNair of East Division champ Alcorn State
don't need a lot to motivate their teams as they
square off Saturday in the 18th SWAC Champi
onship Game in Houston.
Based on their long and glorious gridiron
histories, Grambling and Alcorn State are two
of the most accomplished football programs in
all of black college football and are among the
fiercest of rivals.
In case they're searching for an edge how
ever, either can focus on the two 'R’s' - Rematch
and Revenge. Based on what's happened when
the two teams have met recently, both those
sources of inspiration could be in play Saturday.
The most recent match up was on Sept. 24
of this season in Grambling where Fobbs' G-
Men ran up 534 total yards and rode 400 passing
yards and five TD passes from junior transfer
quarterback Devante Kincade to a dominating
43-18 win over Alcorn State.
But if we go back to last year's title game,
Grambling is the one looking to a rematch and
for some revenge.
It was at last year's championship tilt that
the Braves, then coached by Jay Hopson who
has moved on to Southern Mississippi, put a
49-21 beating on the Tigers piling up 411 rush
ing yards with three Alcorn rushers - Darryan
Ragsdale. Marquis Watford and Lenorris
Footman - topping the 100-yard mark and
scoring a touchdown. Footman also threw three
touchdown passes. It was the second straight
championship game win for Hopson and the
Braves.
To add a little more spice to the champion
ship mix, in addition to the SWAC title they're
playing for, the winner will also represent the
SWAC in the 2nd Annual Air Force Reserve
Celebration Bowl in Atlanta's Georgia Dome on
Of t'mi 1 ^+ v-filF
Dec. 17 against MEAC champion North Caro
lina Central.
Alcorn State lost in a shootout to MEAC
champion North Carolina A&T in last year's
inaugural game 41-34.
Fobbs and the G-Men
Grambling (9-1, 9-0 SWAC), ranked first
in the Black College Sports Page Top Ten for
the last two weeks, has been the standard bearer
CHESS MATCH: It will be the job of SWAC
sacks leader, Alcorn State linebacker Darrien
Anderson (I.), and the Braves defense to slow
down Grambling State quarterback Devante
Kincade (r.) and the SWAC's leading offense in
Saturday's league championship game in Hous
ton.
in the conference this season. The G-Men have
beaten every team in the league by double-dig
its and by an average score of 46-14. The clos
est score was a 19-point 47-28 win over Texas
Southern three weeks ago.
They are averaging league bests of 507
yards and 44.0 points per game.
Kincade, a transfer from Ole Miss, has
been the catalyst. The junior has thrown for
2,633 yards completing 63.2% of his passes
for 28 touchdowns and just three interceptions.
He's likely a shoo-in for the conference's offen
sive player of the year award.
He's been ably complemented by running
backs Jestin Kelly and Martez Carter and
wideouts Chad Williams and Verlan Hunter.
Kelly has run for 781 yards and 8 TDs
while Carter has 646 rushing yards with 8
scores. They are third and fourth in SWAC
rushing stats. Williams has led the SWAC and
all black college receivers this season with 80
catches for 1,191 yards and 10 TD receptions.
Hunter has 45 receptions for six scores.
Jprambling i s . a ^9 on Top of just about ev
ery, SWAC defensive category including scor
ing (16.4 ppg.), total (323.6 ypg.) and rushing
defense (120.9 ypg.). The Tigers are second in
pass defense (202.7 ypg.). Linebacker Arkez
Cooper and defensive back Guy Stallworth,
both fifth-year seniors, lead the defense with 58
stops.
The Tigers have won nine straight games
since opening the season with a 31-21 loss at
Arizona. The Tigers led that game 21-3 at the
BCSP Notes
MEAC announces 2016 football honors
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champion North Carolina Central
and runner-up North,Carolina A&T dominated the 2016 All-MEAC Foot-
ball Team with 30 student-athletes between both teams. The team is voted on
by the MEAC’s head football coaches and sports information directors.
In a partnership with the National Football Foundation (NFF) & College
Hall of Fame, the league's Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year will be
announced as part of the festivities surrounding the 59th NFF Annual Awards
Dinner, Tuesday, Dec. 6, at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.
North Carolina A&T State's Brandon Parker was selected as the MEAC
Offensive Lineman of the Year, for the second consecutive year, while team-
mate Elijah Bell earned Rookie of the Year honors. North Carolina Central's
Jerry Mack was selected as Coach of the Year.
Parker started all 12 games for the Aggies, at left tackle, this season. He
paved the way for the MEAC’s top scoring offense (35.2 points/game), 12th
nationally. North Carolina A&T State led the MEAC in rushing offense aver
aging 203.8 yards per game, with 27 rushing touchdowns.
As a freshman, Bell led the Aggies in total receiving yards (631) and
ranked third in the MEAC in receiving yards per game (52.6). He finished the
season with eight touchdowns, averaging 18 yards per reception.
In his third season, Mack led the Eagles to the outright 2016 MEAC
Football Championship after winning a share of the title in 2014 and 2015.
Mack is the first NCCU head coach to win 24 contests in his first three seasons
with one more contest scheduled as the Eagles will play in the 2nd annual Air
Force Celebration Bowl on Dec. 17 in Atlanta, Ga.

GAMES THIS WEEK
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3
TV-GAME
SWWC Championship Game
Alcorn State vs. Grambling State in Houston 3p
half before Kincade went down with an injury.
The G-Men have also won 18 straight
SWAC regular season games. The loss to Alcorn
State in the title game last year is the only loss to
a conference foe over the last two seasons.
McNair and the Braves
After dominating the league the last two
years and winning back-to-back titles, the 5-5
Braves have struggled with injuries in McNair's
first year.
McNair said as many as 11 starters have
gone down this season. Many came back just as
the regular season was coming to an end. That
means the Braves are likely to be more of a chal
lenge to the Tigers than in their meeting earlier
this season.
Footman,-a junior, and redshirt freshman
Noah Johnson have taken turns under center
leading the Braves and both are capable of put
ting up big numbers.
In his best game this season, Footman put
up 451 yards of total offense, running for 147
yards and three scores and passing for 304 yards
and two TDs in a 41-33 home loss to Southern.
The next week in a 31-27 loss to Prairie View,
Johnson ran for 123 yards and three scores.
Three weeks ago he passed for a league-high
seven TDs in a 61-7 rout of Mississippi Val
ley State. Johnson started and played the entire
game in the Braves season-ending win vs. Jack-
son State last week and will likely see the field
first vs. Grambling.
Junior running back DeLance Turner leads
the Braves' ground attack with 618 yards and 4
TDs. Johnson has rushed for 440 yards and 10
scores. Alcorn averages 217.8 rushing yards per
game, second in the SWAC.
Jaborian McKenzie (39 rec., 420 yards, 2
TDs) and Norlando Veals (27 receptions, 531
yards, 7 TDs) are the chief receiving threats.
Senior linebacker Darien Anderson leads
the Alcorn defense. He is fourth in the league in
tackles with 80 and is first with 12 sacks.
