For most, fall and foot-ball go hand-in-hand. With so many teams in

our area, it’s not uncommon to see a bumper sticker, pom-

each of the major university’s mascot in a one-mile radius in any given area. Luckily, Mississippi’s very own Alcorn State University is attract-ing crowds from far and wide with its growing football pro-gram. Thanks to head coach, Jay Hopson, the Braves have started to turn their program around and make a name for themselves.
