GRAMBLING — Saturday's Jackson State game was book-ended by a face-off at midfield and then the ejection of two players.
Grambling State coach Melvin Spears said he wasn't surprised by the charged emotions.

The afternoon began with JSU players surging toward midfield, as pregame warm-ups got underway, chanting: "We own the SWAC."
A raucous announced crowd of nearly 19,000, many of them JSU fans, only added spice to this bubbling roux by joining in.

"That little stunt got to us," said junior Clyde Edwards, one of two GSU receivers with more than 100 yards on the day. "That's the worst thing they could have done."

"We couldn't let them disrespect the 'G,' " Landers said. "This game is definitely one of those games where you look back and think this is where we put it all together."
