THE STAT CORNER
WHO ARE THE BEST PERFORMERS IN BLACK COLLEGE SPORTS
- HOW THEY DID IT -
BETHUNE-COOKMAN 21, S. C. State 6Bethune-Cookman QB Allen Suber rushed for 192 yards and a TD as the undefeated and BCSP top-ranked Wildcats (8-0, 4-0 MEAC) won a key MEAC battle over S. C. State (5-2, 2-1 MEAC) in Orangeburg. The output gives Suber 992 rushing yards on the season with four games left.
TUSKEGEE 19, Morehouse 14
Tuskegee (6-1, 4-1 SIAC) scored early and late to edge
Morehouse (4-3, 2-2 SIAC) in the 67th Morehouse-Skeege Classic before 24.891 in
Columbus, Ga. The Golden Tigers, who scored first to lead 7-0 and then fell behind
14-7 through three quarters, scored on a 7-yard run from
Cortlandt Florence with 3:26 left to tie the score and won it on a 20-yard
Travis Gumbs' field goal with seven seconds to play. A safety on the ensuing kicloff provided
the final margin.
GRAMBLING 54, Ark.-Pine Bluff 15
Grambling (6-1, 3-0 SWAC W) got seven TD passes off 397 passing
yards from QB Bruce Eugene in routing Arkansas-Pine Bluff
(2-5, 1-4 SWAC W).
MORGAN STATE 38, Howard 20
Morgan State (3-4, 2-2 MEAC), who ruined
NC A&T's homecoming last week, did the same at
Howard (3-3. 1-2 MEAC) this past weekend. MSU
RB T. J. Stallings ran 36 times for 206 yards and scored five TDs. Stallings
also had two receptions for 61 yards and a 45-yard kickoff return.
FAYETTEVILLE STATE 20, Virginia State 10
Fayetteville State (6-1, 4-0 CIAA W) and Virginia State (5-2, 3-1 CIAA
E) battled on near even terms in the yardage stats (FSU 379, VSU 377) for
the game but three interceptions, including one returned by FSU DB
Phil Crumb for a fourth quarter TD, proved to be the difference.
