Grambling State's defense stood defenseless against Prairie View A&M's relentless ground assault, as PVAMU bulldozed their way to a resounding 34-14 victory in the highly anticipated State Fair Classic.

Ahmad Antoine emerged as the driving force behind Prairie View A&M's ground attack, amassing a remarkable 92 rushing yards, setting an electrifying tone for the game. PVAMU exhibited exceptional ball security, avoiding turnovers throughout the entire contest. Grambling's offensive line crumbled under the relentless pass rush from PVAMU, conceding a total of four sacks. The Tigers struggled to convert promising drives into points, resulting in six punts. Additionally, their ability to sustain long drives was hampered, with control of the ball lasting a mere 24 minutes out of the game's 60 minutes. Nevertheless, Julian Calvez demonstrated commendable effort by securing a touchdown on the ground.

Saturday's triumph further solidifies Prairie View A&M's dominance in this fierce head-to-head series, extending their win streak to an impressive five victories since 2015. Conversely, Grambling's season continues to spiral downwards with their third consecutive loss, leaving them with a disappointing 1-4 record. Their current losing streak dates back to September 17th when they faced Jackson State.

With anticipation brewing, both teams now face a crucial period before their next matchups. PVAMU eagerly awaits an opportunity to extend their winning streak against Southern, under the coaching prowess of Eric Dooley, on October 8th. Meanwhile, Grambling State hits the road for their upcoming game, traveling to Huntsville, AL, where they will confront Alabama A&M, seeking redemption with a record currently mirroring their own at 1-4.
