Grambling holds off Alcorn State 40-32 in SWAC Championship

HOUSTON -- Grambling State coach Broderick Fobbs was pleased with repeating as Southwestern Athletic Conference champions, but acknowledged he was not very happy after his team had to squeak by. Devante Kincade threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more scores, and Grambling State held off Alcorn State 40-32 on Saturday night en route to its second straight SWAC Championship. It was the third consecutive meeting between the teams in the title game. Alcorn State (7-5) won it in 2015, and Grambling State (11-1) rallied for a 27-20 victory in the 2016 championship. The Tigers have won 11 straight games since losing their opener, 43-14 against Tulane, and is 8-2 in the SWAC title games. "The feeling is unbelievable," Grambling State linebacker De'Arius Christmas said. "You can't explain the feeling because we are back-to-back champions, but we feel like we are not done.
