Hey HBCU Students, Alum and Fans!
It’s Week three of Black College Football and to start it off, the Bears of Morgan State traveled to the state of New York and suffered their first loss of the season 56-34 to Buffalo . Meanwhile the Bulldogs of Bowie State, also on the road, improved to 2-0 knocking off yet another HBCU team; Benedict 28 to 14!
North in Newark, Delaware, it was the route one rivalry held between Delaware and Delaware State and the Hornets of Delaware State lost, 38 to 14! Better luck next year DSU!
Last weekend, the Maroon Tigers of Morehouse paid a visit to our area ( well close enough) playing the Bison of Howard at RFK Stadium in DC. The Bison won that match, scoring in the final 2 minutes; 30 to 29 ! Well this weekend, the House licked their wounds and took out their anger on tiny Edward Waters 38 to 19 .
As for Howard, HU Alum should be proud! Your Bison traveled to New Jersey and valiantly losing to Rutgers 26 to nothing. Now you may say be proud, we lost 26 to nothing! Well other HBCU Alums may feel worse considering Savannah State lost to Florida State 55 to 0 ( and that game was called after the third quarter due to Lightning) , The Rattlers of FAMU were defanged by Oklahoma 69 to 13 (Ouch!) , The G-Men of Grambling State lost to TCU 56 to nothing , Cheyney lost to Indiana of PA 56 -0 and Lincoln (PA) lost to Wofford 82 to NADA ! So Howard alum, losing to Rutgers 26 to Zip is not bad.
Finally speaking of HUs: Hampton came up short against Old Dominion 45 -7. Last year’s National Champion Winston- Salem State is now 2-0 after beating!
Concord 30 to 22 and this year’s front runner Norfolk State is also 2-0 after knocking off Liberty 31 -24. Keep your eyes on Tennessee State , The Tigers took a bite out of Jackson State 38 to 21 , While the wildcats of Bethune-Cookman did the Same to South Carolina State 27 to 14 .
This Season’s Top Five HBCU Schools so far : Norfolk State, Bethune-Cookman, Winston-Salem State , Alabama A&M and Tennessee State
