Prairie View A&M won a thriller against SWAC West rival Alcorn in a game that will surely determine the championship picture at the end of the season. Guillermo Garcia Rodriguez kicked a 46-yard field goal as time to ice the game for the Panthers, who were locked into a back-and-forth battle with the Braves that was close to going to overtime.

After a scoreless first quarter for both teams, Alcorn struck first. Braves quarterback Aaron Allen threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Tavarious Griffin that put Alcorn up 7-0 after a successful PAT. Later on in the quarter, Prairie View got a score on the board, off of a six-yard touchdown run by Trazon Connley. The Panthers tied the game up for a moment until Noah Kiani kicked a 30-yard field goal to put the Braves up 10-7
