Alcorn State Secures SWAC West Title with Victory in Soul Bowl

In an impressive display of skill and determination, Alcorn State emerged victorious in the highly anticipated Soul Bowl, securing the SWAC West Division title in the process. With a final score of 28-24, Alcorn State’s win over Jackson State signifies their dominance in the football arena.

From the very beginning, Alcorn State showcased their prowess, taking the lead and never relinquishing it throughout the game. While the score was tied at 21 in the third quarter, quarterback Aaron Allen and wide receiver Malik Rodgers came together to connect for a crucial 12-yard touchdown, propelling Alcorn State ahead in the competition. Jackson State, on the other hand, faced difficulty as they made the tough decision to settle for a field goal, narrowing the gap to just four points.

Allen’s performance on the field was exceptional, demonstrating his precision and skill as he completed three touchdown passes, two of which found their mark with Monterio Hunt. Overall, Allen’s 225 passing yards played a pivotal role in Alcorn State’s triumph. Furthermore, running back Jarveon Howard contributed 70 rushing yards, including a touchdown, highlighting the team’s collective effort and determination.

While Jackson State exhibited a commendable performance, leading in total yards with a tally of 431 compared to Alcorn State’s 296, their efforts were thwarted by Alcorn State’s solid defense. Jackson State’s quarterback, Jacobian Morgan, displayed his talent by completing 11 of 16 passes for 151 yards, including two touchdown passes to Fabian McCray. DJ Stevens also contributed a touchdown pass. Additionally, Jason Brown showcased his prowess as a quarterback, completing 11 of 18 passes for 86 yards. However, despite their achievements, Jackson State could not cross midfield for the remainder of the game.

This victory places Alcorn State at the top of the SWAC West Division standings, alongside Prairie View A&M. These two teams finished the season with matching records, both 7-4 overall and 6-2 in conference play. However, Prairie View A&M’s head-to-head victory secured their spot in the SWAC championship game against Florida A&M on December 2nd.

As the dust settles on the Soul Bowl, Alcorn State relishes in their hard-earned triumph. The team’s impressive performance signals the strength and determination that has propelled them to the top of their division. With the upcoming SWAC championship game on the horizon, Alcorn State now sets their sights on future victories and a chance to claim the ultimate championship title.
