Mid Grambling Quietly, like cat burglars scaling skyscrapers, Grambling's Tigers have again become the most talked-about black college football team. Twa^ weeks ago, the team was featured on CBS television's NFL Today program, as highlights of Grambling's win over Texas Southern were shown. And CBS sportscaster Brent Musburger has ranked urambling among his Top 10 college teams in the country - right up there with the Alabamas and Notre Dames. The publicity is coming ccause Grambling is winning again, and winning big. But don't get the wrong idea. The Tigers have never been losers. But early in the season, Florida A&M bombed Grambling, 28-7. There was a later loss to Tennessee State. Now, however, the Tigers are rolling. Grambling beat tough Jackson State, 25-13 two weeks ago, to run its record to 5-2. The Tigers arc ranked No. 1 in jjggpyyyy." ^ .

Head coach Eddie Robinson says his team is playing much better than earlier in the season, but adds he hasn't changed a thing. "We have the same team," he said in a recent interview. "I guess we have improved with our execution. That's about the only thing we're doing different. We're doing the same things on offense that we did early in the year, and we're doing the things on defense. Maybe we have gotten a little better insight on what we are trying to do." Last year, Grambling was on probation, and couldn't advance to the I-AA playoffs, dispite a 9-1 record.

"We just hope we can hang on to the No. 1 spot," he said. "We are happy, but it's really not anything to be happy about. It just increases the bounty on your head. A lot of people are getting excited around here now. "But the excitement should just be for this Saturday and then the next Saturday and the next Saturday and the next. I watch teams like those that play in the Rose Buwl. They got there because they kept winning. If you keep winning, you got a shot. If you lose, you don't have a shot." Robinson said this year's Grambling team has a lot of potential. "I don't think I have been able to get out of the team what they are capable of," he said.
