Alcorn and NC Central square off in the 16th annual MEAC-SWAC Challenge from the Georgia State stadium in Atlanta, 7 PM Eastern on ESPN. The game dates to 2005, but last year's event was canceled.

Game Day was on hand this morning - it was great to see Lee Corso back on the set, but Maria Taylor's mile-long legs were missed.

The SWAC skipped the fall football season last year, but did play a Spring schedule. However, Alcorn opted out of both. So they have not played a football game since December, 2019. As a result, they are claiming to be "two-time defending SWAC champs" as if the Spring 2021 thing didn't happen, LOL.

Anyway, the bands and dancing girls should be fun, and hopefully the game is too.

The MEAC leads this series 10-5, but I think the SWAC wins tonight.

Alcorn is shooting themselves in the foot
They left at least 14 points on the board in the 1st half.

Yes, Alcorn is messing this up.

Looks like a team that hasn't played in 630 days.

They're making mistakes that I'm not accustomed to seeing a Fred McNair coached team make.

TD NCCU!!!! They now lead it 13-7 with 10:25 remaining in the 3rd. PAT was blocked, that might end up being big!

NCCU won halftime. Apparently a football game is also happening?

14-13 Alcorn heading in to 4th Q, but NCC is driving.

NC Central tops Alcorn 23-14. Big upset to start the season.
