THE STAT CORNER
WHO ARE THE BEST PERFORMERS IN BLACK COLLEGE SPORTS
--- HOW THEY DID IT ---
BETHUNE-COOKMAN 42, Morris Brown 7
Bethune-Cookman (3-0, 0-0 MEAC) stayed at the head of the BCSP
Top Ten as QB Allen Suber rushed for 138 yards including a 37-yard TD
scamper and passed for 182 yards and two TDs (24 and six yards) in the win
over Morris Brown (0-3).
TUSKEGEE 7, Benedict 0
Visiting Benedict (0-3, 0-2 SIAC) battled
Tuskegee (3-0, 2-0 SIAC) on even terms through four quarters before succumbing in overtime. Tuskegee
RB Cortlandt Florence's 11-yard run to paydirt six plays into OT proved to
be the difference. Florence topped the 100-yard mark for the third straight
game, getting 136 on 26 carries but the rest of the team managed just 63 yards
of offense. The TU defense picked off Benedict QB
Marcus Walker four times.
HAMPTON 51. Howard 2
Hampton (2-1, 1-0 MEAC) dominated Howard
(1-1, 0-1 MEAC) racking up 324 rushing yards and holding the Bison to 200 net yards in a key
MEAC matchup. Hampton junior RB Rian
Thompson, in his first start, rambled for 115 yards on 25 carries and scored on three short TD runs (1, 5 and 4
yards) while DB Travis Oliver blocked a field goal and returned a blocked punt
23 yards for a touchdown. WR Zuriel Smith caught a 57-yard TD toss from
Tim Frazier and returned a punt 77 yards to paydirt. Howard QB
Donald Clark, who threw for five TDs a week earlier against
Texas Southern, was held to 13 completions in 32 attempts for 136 yards and was sacked six times,
four by Hampton DE Isaac Hilton.
JACKSON STATE 31, Tennessee State 28
Jackson State (1-2, 0-0 SWAC E), before a crowd of 38,496, got a
20-yard field goal from Ashcher Ashley with 1:02 left to get the Southern
Heritage Classic victory over Tennessee State
(1-2, 0-0 OVC) in Memphis. JSU QB Robert
Kent, plagued by interceptions in two losses to start the season,
hit on 18 of 34 passes for 246 yards with no TDs but also without a pick and
RB Tanaka Counselor rushed for 128 yards and a pair of TDs. Kent did have
a two-yard TD run. JSU's defense picked off three TSU passes.
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY STATE 28, Delta State 26
The Delta Devils (1-1, 0-0 SWAC E) got 319 passing yards from QB
Carey Weaver to win their first game in 13 tries and give head coach
Willie Totten his first head coaching victory. Weaver hit on 22 of 27 passes for three
TDs and did not have an interception. A 53-yard DSU field goal attempt with
a minute left fell short.
CLARK ATLANTA 14, Miles 7
Clark Atlanta (2-1, 1-1 SIAC) scored two rushing touchdowns in the
fourth quarter to down Miles (1-2, 1-1 SIAC). RB
Terrance Smith, who led the Panthers with 150 yards on just nine carries, scored from 48 yards out
and Dominique Brown ran 33 yards for a score for the winning margin.
The Panthers rushed for 300 yards and had no yards passing (0 for 2).
