Prairie View Panthers dash Alcorn Braves' SWAC title dreams

PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas — Alcorn State was within 4 seconds of continuing to control its destiny for the SWAC East division championship. But two Prairie View touchdowns in the final seconds handed Alcorn a 35-27 defeat and ended any hopes the Braves had of reaching it’s first ever SWAC championship game.

K.J. Black threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Shaun Stephens with 4 seconds remaining to give the Panthers a 29-27 lead. Alcorn (5-5, 4-4 SWAC) then fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Prairie View ran it back for a touchdown on the final play of the game for the final scoring margin.

They were left with possession at their 22-yard line and no timeouts, and all energy had seemingly been zapped from what remained of a bewildered crowd at Blackshear Stadium.

And then suddenly, a dream ending became reality for Prairie View.
