HUE JACKSON'S COMMENTS AT HALFTIME

"We just making some errors as of key times at a touchdown call that Billy buck is still fighting us a little bit we sat keep continue to play and play consistently," Jackson said.  

Jackson on what he means about 'keep fighting,' "we should be you know this is a football game is not a fighting match, you know, we got to understand is football and football is played with a lot of emotion. I get it, but we also got to control it." 

REPORT

• The Rattlers first start stalled after 5 plays and 18 yards.  
• The G-Men's 9-play, 45-yard drive ended at the 45-yard line.  
• Next FAMU had a 3-and-out at their 13-yard line and punted to the Tigers.
• Penalties have been Grambling's Achilles heel the entire season.  A 24-yard touchdown pass was reversed after a holding penalty.  After Julian Calvez was unable to complete a pass to Nadarius Fagan, Jimmy punted from the FAMU 34-yard line for a touchback.
• Moussa guided the Rattlers on a 14-play and 68-yard possession that ended in a successful 29-yard field goal by Romo-Martinez.  A penalty by tight end Kamari Young negated a Xavier Smith touchdown reception for 29 yards.

• GSU QB Calvez broke off a long 22-yard rush through the middle of the Rattlers defense to slide an extra 10 yards on the painted G at midfield.
• Hue Jackson decided to go for a 4th and 3 with long pass along the right sideline.  Calvez' pass was underthrown and the Rattlers take over near the 50-yard line.
• Johnson blitzes from the left untouched and sacks Moussa.  3rd and 17 for the Rattlers at 3:22 remaining before halftime.
