MEMPHIS – As the HBCU football national championship picture sharpens into focus, the views from Lorman, Miss. and Greensboro, N.C. are better than any a month out from the Celebration Bowl.
But before Alcorn State coach Fred McNair can look east from his school’s Lorman campus toward the Atlanta site of the Dec. 15 Black College national title game, his attention will shift west to New Orleans for Saturday's Bayou Classic.
With the Braves (8-3) having already locked up their fifth consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference East division title, McNair can digest Thanksgiving leftovers as he watches Grambling State and Southern battle for the West division crown.
