HBCU FOOTBALL RUNDOWN: PRAIRIE VIEW CONTROLS SWAC WEST, STARS AT HOMECOMING -WEEK 8

HBCU football in Week 8 has the Panthers spoiling the Jaguars Homecoming party, and a Rattler rose to meet the challenge.

RB CURTIS ALLEN - VA UNION | VA UNION ATHLETICS

HBCU football in Week 8 featured several significant SWAC, SIAC, and CIAA Homecoming Battles while most of the MEAC teams were idle.

Prairie View A&M felt disrespected by Southern as they scheduled its Homecoming with the Panthers. Big mistake. Coach Tremaine Jackson didn't like it, making sure the Panthers defense would shutdown the Jaguars in front of their homecoming crowd. PV controls the SWAC West, 4-0.

However, Texas Southern is breathing down the Panthers' necks, winning its fourth-straight game. The Tigers are now 3-1 in the SWAC West.

Grambling State's running back Tre Bradford scored the game-winning touchdown for the G-Men with under 2 minutes remaining in the contest. Grambling improves to 4-3, 1-2 in the conference.
