BATON ROUGE, LA -- Southern University football found itself in a four quarter heavy weight fight with the Alcorn State Braves, to take over the first place spot in the SWAC West standings. The Jaguars outlasted the Braves 21-17 at A.W. Mumford Stadium.

Freshman running back Karl Ligon led the Jags rushing attack with 92-yards and a score. August Pitre III had a big night with four catches for 127-yards and score. Besean McCray went 12-of-19 on the night for 199 yards and throwing 2 touchdowns.

The Jaguars defense continued to show traits of the legendary Dog Day D shutting down the Braves rushing attack, that has been dominant this season. Jordan Carter comes up huge for the Jags stopping Jarveon Howard behind the line of scrimmage to set up the fourth down play that sealed the game for the Jags. Corione Harris led the Jaguar defense with 10 tackles and Jalan Campbell finished the night with eight tackles and one tackle for loss.

UP NEXT
