Grambling, LA---Grambling State's senior running back Frank Warren  scores all five Tigers touchdowns as the G-Men power past Alcorn State in a, 38-28, win over the Braves.

 

The Tiger's offensive strike against Alcorn State was virtually unstoppable as they pounded out 253 yards on the ground in rout to 392 yards of total offense.

 

Grambling broke the ice when Warren scored the first of two first quarter touchdown's midway through the period on a 23 yard run, the second came from five-yards out and after two Zoltan Riazzo PAT's the Tigers led 14-0.

 

The Braves made their way to the scoreboard on a 44 yard pass from Brandon Bridge to Christian Perkins with 5:53 left in the second quarter. However, the Tigers would get the score back with 37-seconds remaining in the half on a Danny Reyes touchdown pass to Warren.

 

Leading, 21-7, Grambling opened the second half with an 18 yard Warren touchdown. Bridge would connect with Ryan Singleton from 25 yards out for the Braves second score with 2:51 remaining in the third and the Tigers would take a 28-14 lead into the fourth quarter.

 

Warren opened the fourth quarter with the last of his touchdowns an eight yard scamper for a 35-14 Tiger lead, before Bridge would connect on touchdown passes of 18 and 25 yards to Singleton and Terrance Lewis respectively.

 

Riazzo connected on a 27 yard field goal with 1:26 remaining to seal the GSU victory.

 

Warren's 202 yard effort against the Braves places him only 67 yards shy of 1,000 yards. With a total of 933 yards on the season Warren finds himself within striking distance of several GSU records including most rushing yards by a senior, most rushing yards in a season and the all-time career rushing record.

 

In the midst of Grambling's offensive explosion Tiger's linebacker Cliff Exama turned in a career night with 17 total tackles and an interception.

 

The Tigers move to 5-0 and remain in the driver's seat of the Southwestern Athletic Conference western division. They return to action next weekend when they travel to Greenville, Miss to face the Delta Devils of Mississippi Valley State.
