The SWAC season started off with a thud as Alcorn was upset by North Carolina Central 23-14 in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge yesterday. This was a game that Alcorn never took control of and allowed NCCU to hang around. Obviously this is only the first game of the season so there is still a lot to play for, but these are the kinds of games that SWAC teams must win. Now we will sit back and watch how the Braves respond to this adversity.
