Tigers Defense Breaks Record In Big Win
The Grambling State defense has been getting better and better each week. They proved themselves the best defense ever, at least statistically, Saturday by racking up 23 sacks and breaking the single game mark by 3. FS Derek Leak led the charge, breaking the individual game mark as well, with 8 sacks.
The return of team captain, QB John Ellis, was short lived for the Tiger faithful as he broke his shoulder on his first pass of the game and will be out for the remainder of the season. QB Robert Davis filled in for the injured captain but his time was also short lived as Coach Hanks took him out early in the game, once again adopting his WR at QB game plan. WR Matt Ward manned the Grambling State offense and ran the option, only attempting 3 passes, but rushing for 224 yards and 4 TD in the win.
