BATON ROUGE - With the Southern Jaguars still alive in the SWAC West division race, Marshall Faulk's Jags lead the Alcorn State Braves 27-21 at halftime. 

Once again, Southern leaned heavily on a rushing attack led by running back Trey Holly. Holly ran the ball 19 times in the first half and ran in two touchdowns. In the passing game, quarterback Christian Johnson completed eight of his 12 passes and threw for two touchdowns.

Big plays were the main problem for the Jags on defense. Alcorn State averaged nearly 10 yards per play in the first half, including a 60-yard touchdown run from Fredrick Robertson.

The Jags need to win this game to have a chance to win the SWAC West and make the SWAC Championship Game. This page will be updated with the final score following the conclusion of the game.
