He completed 16 of 24 passes for 256 yards and two touchdown passes (career-high 75, 6).  His offense led to a school-record 815 yards of total offense. The Panthers’ 62 points scored was the most since scoring 67 points in 1959.

Defensive
Grambling State
De’Arius Christmas (SR, LB, Vicksburg, Miss.)
Christmas returned an interception 66 yards to complete a first-quarter scoring spurt as the Tigers built a 21-0 lead and did not look back in a 34-0 victory against Alabama State. Christmas also added three tackles and one quarterback hurry.

Specialist
Grambling State
Malik Route (SO, WR/RS, Tucker, Ga.)
Route opened the scoring with his first-career punt return, a 79-yard return, which gave Grambling State a 7-0 lead on the Tigers’ way to 34-0 win against Alabama State.
