Grambling State walks away from their game with Alabama State as the victor 45-42, but they lose both QB J. Ellis and FB G. Lilly for four weeks with injuries. R. Davis filled in nicely at QB, throwing for 178 yards and 1 TD, leading the Tigers to the win. Can he repeat this performance for the next few weeks and pull GSU to the top of the Big Ten pack? Only time will tell. Today was a good start, but every week will be a challenge.
The defense came up with 14 sacks, with Freshman SS D. Leak racking up 5 on his own. If the defense can keep this up, it will surely make the offense feel much better until Ellis can return.
