LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Joe Price and Darryan Ragsdale spearheaded a dominant rushing attack, leading Alcorn State to a 61-14 neutral site win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Saturday night.

Price and Ragsdale each went over the 100-yard mark and scored on runs of 50 and 65 yards, respectively. Both touchdowns came in the first quarter as the Braves (4-1, 3-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference) built a 28-7 lead. John Gibbs, Jr. rushed for three scores and passed for two more, hitting 7 of 10 passes for 103 yards. Alcorn State rushed 50 times for 418 yards and six scores.

The Golden Lions (1-4, 0-3) tied it at 7-all when Marcus Terrell found Kyle Coleman for a 10-yard score. But it was all Alcorn State from there, with the Braves scoring 53 of the game's next 60 points. Terrell finished 8 of 15 for 74 yards and two interceptions.
