They say were a passing team, but we also can run the ball well. We had a lot of success today and thats going to open those guys eyes up to respect the run game that we establish.The Tigers had 256 yards rushing and DeVante Kincade completed 24-of-33 passes for 283 yards and a touchdown and ran nine times for 56 yards and a touchdown.We did a really good job of running the football, Grambling coach Broderick Fobbs said. We saw some things from the way they were lining up in the first half and we were able to take advantage of it.After being held scoreless in the second quarter, the Tigers scored on the first possession of the third quarter as Kincade ran 45 yards for touchdown that increased the Tigers lead to 24-13.Three plays after Grambling stopped Southern on a fourth-and-1 at the Tigers 13, Carter ran 66 yards for a touchdown and Lyndemian Brooks ran 34 yards for a touchdown and a 38-13 lead with 4:02 left in the third quarter.One play after a Grambling fumble, Austin Howard threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Lenard Tillery to get the Jaguars within 38-20 after three quarters. Tillery, the SWAC leader in all-purpose yards, also ran 26 times for 234 yards and a touchdown, but wide receiver/return specialist Willie Quinn, whos second in all-purpose yards, had just 64 yards.Kincade threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Chad Williams before Southerns Ruan Albuquerque made a 32-yard field goal with 6:56 left. Carter returned the ensuing kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown.Howard threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Tillery with 3 seconds left.We just werent able to put up enough points to keep up with them, Southern coach Dawson Odums said. We gave up too many big plays and that was the difference in the game.Southern took the opening kickoff and drove to an 18-yard touchdown pass from Howard to Quinn and a 6-0 lead after the extra point was missed.On the ensuing possession, Carter ran 11 yards for a touchdown that gave Grambling a 7-6 lead.Williams 32-yard halfback pass to Verlan Hunter gave Grambling a 14-6 lead after one quarter.We practiced that play all week, Williams said, and I told Verlan to get ready because if someones on him, Im throwing it to him anyway.Tillerys 85-yard touchdown run pulled Southern within 17-13 at halftime.DEFENSIVE STANDSThe game featured the two highest-scoring offenses in the SWAC, but two defensive stands by Grambling made a big difference. Southern trailed 7-6 and was poised to take the lead midway through the first quarter when Howard fumbled at the Grambling 1 and the ball went through the end zone for a touchback. In the third quarter Grambling led 24-13 when it stopped Tillery 1 yard short of a first down on fourth down at the Tigers 13. One or two plays in a football game can make the difference, Jaguars coach Dawson Odums said. (Howards fumble) swung the momentum and we never got it turned around.THE TAKEAWAYGrambling: The Tigers are back as a perennial SWAC contender after playing for the West Division title for the third consecutive year and winning it for the second consecutive year.

Stanford finally blinked on the deciding playoff hole and Park kept her birdie streak alive for the victory at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic. Both players tied the LPGA Tour record for lowest total score at 26-under-par 258. It would take three playoff holes -- all on the 471-yard, par-5 finishing hole -- before Park ended the drama by hitting a short putt for her second career LPGA Tour victory. "When we started (the) final round, I just kept reminding (myself) this is just another round," Park said. "It doesnt matter (if its the) final round or a first round, keep it simple and just think about always (hitting) my target." She hit the target when it counted, reaching the green in two on the deciding hole. Stanford, meanwhile, needed three shots to get on the back fringe and her long birdie putt ended up a few feet short. Park hit her 45-foot eagle putt to within a couple feet of the cup. She hit the birdie, raised her fist in the air and later threw the ball into the grandstand surrounding the green. The effort capped a remarkable week by the 26-year-old South Korean, who recorded a career-best 61 on the par-71 course a day earlier. Stanford closed with a 7-under 64 while Park, who had a one-shot lead on the American after three rounds, had a 65. "If somebody would have told me youre going to shoot 64 today and not win, I would have thought they were crazy," Stanford said. "So for me to shoot 64-64 on the weekend, you know, its good for me but its not a W, so you play to win." Scotlands Catriona Matthew had a 66 and settled for third place at 23 under. South Koreas Inbee Park (68) finished well back at 16 under as her three-tournament winning streak came to an end. Hamiltons Alena Sharp (65) was the top Canadian at 11 under. Matthew made a move early in the round. She picked up her third straight birdie on No. 7 to move into first place, leaving Stanford and Park a shot behind. The trio quickly moved ahead of the pack as they approached the turn. Matthew birdied No. 11 and 12 but a bogey on the 15th hole snuffed her momentum. Stanford had seven birdies over a bogey-free round while Park went on a tear with three birdies over her last four holes heading into No. 18. That set the stage for a showdown that would last about an hour. Sitting tied at 25 under after 71 holes, Stanford reached the green in two and hit a two-putt for birdie. Park pushed her approach shot wide and hit a nice chip from beside the grandstand to within four feet before draining the birdie putt to force a playoff. The players hopped into golf carts and returned to the tee to keep playing the hole until there was a winneer.dddddddddddd. Park had a chance for eagle on the first extra hole, hitting a beautiful approach that bounced once before settling eight feet from the cup. She pushed her eagle putt wide and settled for birdie. Stanford chipped on from beside the fringe and hit a short putt for a birdie of her own. On the second playoff hole, both players landed in the first cut beside the green. Stanford went first and chipped it within three feet and Park did the same before both players hit their putts. Stanford was unlucky on the third playoff hole as her tee shot found the rough and settled into a depression. "By far the worst lie I had all week," she said. She used a four-wood to get out but didnt hit it clean, with the ball landing in a fairway bunker. Stanford did well to get it to the back fringe but with Park already laying two, Stanford needed to chip in to force the issue. When her ball settled a few feet from the hole, Park had the opportunity to go up and down for the victory and she took advantage. "I did everything I could, it just wasnt enough," Stanford said. Park earned US$195,000 for the win. Stanford picked up $120,353 of the $1.3-million tournament purse with the runner-up finish. Scores were low for all four rounds as players took advantage of wide fairways and greens that remained moist after heavy rain earlier in the week. South Koreas Meena Lee (66) was fourth at 20-under and Karine Icher of France (63) was another shot back in fifth place. American Michelle Wie closed with a 66 to finish tied for 16th place but was still 11 strokes off the pace. "Its pretty crazy that you shoot 15 under and youre not in the top 10, you know," Wie said. "Its a birdie-fest out there." American Brittany Lang won the inaugural edition of the event in 2012 but missed the cut this year by one stroke. Sharp finished one stroke ahead of Brooke Henderson (67) of Smiths Falls, Ont. Charlottetowns Lorie Kane (68) and Jennifer Kirby of Paris, Ont., (69) were next at 9 under. Park, 26, earned her only other LPGA Tour victory at the 2011 CME Group Titleholders. Stanford was looking for her sixth LPGA Tour victory and first since the 2012 HSBC Womens Champions. Karen Stupples also had a 72-hole score of 258 at the 2004 Welchs/Frys Championship in Tucson. That tournament was played on a par-70 course. Annika Sorenstam recorded a 27-under-par 261 at the par-72 Standard Register PING event in Phoenix in 2001. Notes: Japans Momoko Ueda and Americans Ryann OToole and Nicole Hage qualified for the next major based on their 36-hole scores here. Two other qualification spots went to tiebreakers. Ji Young Oh of South Korea qualified based on her 54-hole score and Englands Felicity Johnson had a 66 on Sunday to beat American Kris Tamulis for the final spot. ' ' '
