Grambling, LA:The game simply known as "The Classic" to those in Louisiana to others you know it as the Bayou Classic. The annual meeting between Southern University and Grambling State University. This one like most "Classics" do started off with a bang as Southern CB Adam Crossley returned the opening kickoff 89yds to the house. Grambling would answer by marching down the field for a TD when QB David Brown found TE Mike Davis for a the 10yd score. The teams would then trade possessions until the 2nd Quarter when Grambling started to take control. First it was RB Landry Carter taking it in for the 2yd score. Then Brown would connect with Henry Tolbert for an 8yds score. As time expired in the Half Brown would connect with Clyde Edwards on a 31yd score. At the Half Grambling would be up 28-7. In the 2nd Half Grambling just ran out the clock at Southern couldn't get anything really going on Offense only putting up 8 points in the 3rd Quarter. The Tigers Defense came to play forcing 6 turnovers 5 being INTs. Grambling may not be headed to a bowl but what better way to end the season then with a huge victory over your rival to keep them a win short of becoming Bowl eligible.

Coach Roman:What way to end the season! This always a game circled on the calendar every year. Good old fashion sibling rivalry. You this game will divide families. Divide North and South Louisiana for a week. We have just won bragging rights until next season. This is a great way to end the season and to send our Seniors out on SENIOR NIGHT.

Landry Carter:I might have been named player of the game but this is for the entire team. We stuck together as a unit all season through all the ups and down. No better way to end the season.

Jermaine Mills:I might not leave Grambling every have played in a Bowl Game but we won the classic and to us born here in Louisiana this is like our Super Bowl. This is what all Seniors preached this week. Let's win Classic leave it all out on the field and that's exactly what we did. I know coach is going to have Grambling in a bowl in no time we just came up a little short this year.
