Box Score Huntsville, Ala.-- A tough loss occurred during Alabama A&M University's (AAMU) Homecoming game when the Bulldogs fell to the Grambling State University's Tigers at the Louis Crews Stadium Saturday afternoon. Scoring 24 points in the first half, the Tigers (3-3) showed no mercy during Week 6 of conference play wrapping up their last game on the road before its home conference opener.  
Sophomore running back No. 28 Jestin Kelly, started the scoring movement in the first quarter with a two yard run for a Tiger touchdown. Though the Bulldogs (2-4) tried to come back with a 40 yard field goal by Cesar Ramon-Diaz in the first quarter and a touchdown from No. 1 Brandon Eldemire in the second, the Tigers answered back putting up 17 points in the second quarter.

Tigers' starting quarterback Johnathan "John Doe" Williams, who was the offensive player of the game, ran a touchdown in the second quarter and threw a touchdown pass to No. 80 Chester Rogers.  Williams threw a total of 291 yards and had three touchdowns.

"I just wanted to come out and get this win," said Rogers, a Huntsville native. "Scoring my first touchdown of this season at home was a great feeling. We didn't play a great game at all, but I will take a win any day!"

Rogers finished the game with seven receptions and 66 yards receiving.

The third quarter was a no scoring period of the game. Both teams had a shutdown defense. In the beginning of the fourth quarter, AAMU's Harvey Harris brought the Bulldogs closer to the Tigers with a 20 yard run for a touchdown. The Bulldogs attempted a 2-point conversion; however the Tigers' defense shut them down.

No. 59 Aaron Breed Jr. led the Tigers with a total of eight tackles, one sack and one tackle for loss. The senior from Houston was recognized after the game as defensive player of the game for his impressive performance. Tyree "Mr. Body Snatcher" Hollins had an interception, which the offense later converted into a touchdown, one pass breakup and six tackles. The Bulldogs leader on defense was No. 32 Byran Brower with a total of nine tackles, seven solo and two assists.

Only up by two points, the Tigers' tempo quickly changed when Martez "Mr. Excitement" Carter had a 93-yard kick return for a Tiger touchdown with 12:12 remaining in the fourth quarter.

"We have yet to play a complete game as far as the kick return," said Carter. "We as a unit have been hoping on returning the ball for a touchdown and we finally did it!"

The last person from Grambling to return the ball for a touchdown was David Stuckman at the 2009 SWAC Championship. Proud of his accomplishment, the Monroe native plans to add more excitement on the gridiron in the future.

The Tigers are now going into Week 7 of conference play with a three game winning streak and currently sit No. 1 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference west division. The last time the Tigers had a winning streak was in 2011.

Next Saturday, the Tigers will face the Alcorn State University Braves (5-1) for their first home conference opener at the Eddie G. Robinson Memorial Stadium. Both teams are undefeated in the SWAC, however, the Braves are on a four game winning streak and have yet to allow an opponent to score over 16 points in a game this season. This home game will also be High School Day. Kickoff is set at 2 p.m.
