The 2014 season for Grambling State has been a season no one would have believed before the start of this 2014 college football year. Going into this SWAC Thursday night matchup versus Mississippi Valley State, Grambing State has been on a six-game winning streak, and with this win, it now extends to seven. Coach Brodderick Fobbs has brought back the magic to the Grambling State Tigers.

Also, on the ground Williams was 7 attempts for 42 yards and 1 touchdown. The Grambling State Tigers racked up a total 42 yards of total offense.
