TONIGHT: ON ESPN3 -- Grambling takes 6-game win streak to Mississippi Valley

GAME TIME: 7:30 PM ET, LIVE ON ESPN3
ITTA BENA, Mississippi -- Grambling has had plenty to celebrate this season after wrapping up its sixth straight win this past week with a 35-7 win at Texas Southern.

A year ago, though, the Tigers only did one victory dance all season when they beat Mississippi Valley State 47-40 in the aftermath of two interim head coaches, a player boycott and a forfeit.

Those program blunders seem far in the distance, though, as the G-Men get ready for a Thursday night game at none other than Mississippi Valley State when two first-year head coaches square off in SWAC action. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m.

“They are a very aggressive bunch,” Grambling head coach Broderick Fobbs said. “They have got a really good football coach who was at Jackson State last year in Rick Comegy, so we know what we are going to get. We are going to get a really tough opponent.”
