PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas (AP) Caleb Johnson ran for 193 yards and two touchdowns and Mississippi Valley State forced four turnovers as the Delta Devils upset Prairie View A&M, 24-19 on Saturday, sending the Panthers into the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship game against Jackson State on a three-game losing streak. Prairie View (7-4, 6-2) clinched the SWAC-East title when Jackson State knocked off Alcorn State to complete an undefeated conference season. The Panthers, who lost to Alcorn State and Texas A&M before falling to the Delta Devils, face off with Jackson State Dec. 4 in Jackson, Miss. Jalani Eason wasted little time putting the Delta Devils on top. After forcing Prairie View to punt on its opening possession, MVSU faced third-and-long when Eason hit Jacory Rankin with a 60-yard launch to take a 7-0 lead. MORE | |
