Well last week ole blue was six for eight, not bad for a start but it could have been better if not for a certain northern Louisiana team that seems to go out of its way to make a Jag look bad. Anyhoo here we go again. And the winners are……

Alcorn State vs.Arkansas-Pine Bluff @ Pine Bluff, AR.

After two hard fought games this past weekend look for the Braves to come out on top of this evenly match game. 

Braves by 13

Players to watch
Alcorn: WR Charlie Spiller,LB Antonio Cooper
UAPB: RB Martell MALLET, ,LB Justin Bass

 

Edward Waters vs. Prairie View A&M @ Blackshear Stadium

The fact that E. W. is visiting Blackshear should tell you all you need to know about this team. Look for the Panthers to fool some again by looking impressive against this NAIA opponent.

Panthers by 20

Players to watch
PVU: RB Arnell Fontenot,DB Hakeem Muhammad
EW: ??????????

 

Grambling State vs. Alabama A&M@ Huntsville, AL. 

This is the game of the week in the SWAC as we see a rematch of the 2005 SCG.

After Saturday’s debacle by coach Melvin Spears look for a hard fought game with coach Spears trying to prove there’s life after Bruce. 

Bulldogs by 3

Players to watch
GSU: QB Brandon Landers,WR Henry Tolbert,LB Dimitri Carr
AAMU: LB Johnny Baldwin,QB Kelcy Luke

  

Mississippi Valley State vs. Southern @ Mumford Stadium

The Jags visited enemy territory this past weekend and was rewarded with a one point win over (you heard it here first) the eventual MEAC champs. 

Look for the Jags to give the home crowd more to be please with and to get their running game on track.
