Me and my Dad (Michael E. Kennedy GSU class of 1979) was at this game 21 years ago in Grambling. Still to this day the best football game I have ever seen and I was 11 years old at this game. I knew it was a classic when we left Robinson stadium. Kendrick Nord (GSU) 485 passing yards 7 touchdowns, Steve McNair (ASU) 534 passing yards 5 touchdowns and 1 rushing touchdown. Black College football at its best. R.I.P. Eddie Robinson and Steve "Air" McNair.

[@dwightlove3704]

Steven M.Kennedy Can you find the ENTIRE VERSION of this game.Nord at 6'4 210 had NFL size to play QB.

[@dwightlove3704]

@Danny Branderson Sure Trump

[@ronaldsmith6423]

I agree. This was a great historic game. I even remember where I was sitting

[@gbrooks2k9]

Wow...an old-fashioned shootout! Alcorn knew how to be in the mix of some great passing games. I remember when they beat Mississippi Valley in 84, 35-28 with 60,000 people watching...that was Valley with Totten and Rice...

[@rss83073SFBayArea]

I think that '84 team with the now late Coach Casem(he passed yesterday) was better than the '94 team.

[@gbrooks2k9]

@@rss83073SFBayArea Oh man. I wanted to interview him. Damn.... RIP

[@damclev]

I remember this game. I was the walk-on third-string QB. GSU was a nice experience. Nord was a beast. I remember playing rec. basketball with him and wondering why he didn't play for the team...he seemed more than good enough. On the field he was just as capable. I was sure he was heading for a respectable if not noteworthy NFL career.

[@dwightlove3704]

Damian I think he was signed as a free agent by the PHILADELPHIA EAGLES.

[@ivorysmith2663]

As a Graduate of GSU, I drove down from Little Rock, Arkansas to this great game....A great game when no one left early, a great crowd...A GREAT GAME!!!

[@mgordon87]

Tyrone "Rip" Jones was the Shit back then!!! My roommate , along with Eudean Toney!!!! We were off the chain that year!!! I miss them guys..along with Steve!! Steve R. I. P!! Long live the SWAC!!!!

[@dwightlove3704]

Marcus Gordon Jones was a legit 4.4 guy in the 40

[@Sclass_Bus]

Tyrone jones still alive. You thinking about Tyrone from Southern University, he played in CFL, BUT he died, but the grambling one is alive

[@jbu35]

I remember this game. Grambling acted like they had won the Super Bowl! LOL. Steve was the man, though! I went to Alcorn at the same time he did, from 91-95. There was nothing like it! We never lost a game at home when our new stadium opened. The Spinx Jinx lasted for 3 years. RIP Steve!! We Alcornites miss you!!

[@thecreativelady]

I've been in denial that McNair ever lost a game! This confirms that I was truly in denial. To quote a friend, this game was a real barn burner!

[@dwightlove3704]

Lol!!!!!!

[@KnowTheLedge888]

I remember this game well. Had a 3 hour drive home and had to got the work the next day.

[@mardadennis3423]

Kendrick Nord is my dad I'm a kid typing this

[@miklossanders]

I played with Kendrick the GOAT!!! This was my Freshman Year!!!

[@dwightlove3704]

@@miklossanders At 6'4 220 Nord had good size to play at the next level he was signed as a free agent by the Eagles.

[@Sclass_Bus]

Liar y ain't ya last name Nord?

[@petezm]

I think its the best game I've ever seen!

[@regal394]

Put up the game when McNair brought Alcorn back in 1993

[@drflash9mm]

you just don't see talent like that anymore in the SWAC, unfortunately.

[@dwightlove3704]

Duval Alcorn was the only D1 school that offered him a QB scholarship.

[@dwightlove3704]

Dr.Flash don't believe the hype there is plenty of talent in the SWAC you just have to look most have been signed as free agent's and are developing quite nicely.

[@mardadennis3423]

That's my dad!!

[@Big-nx7ho]

One of the best games I ever saw!!!!!!!! #Freshmanyear

[@jay55also]

It looked like the AFL of 1970,scoring ,scoring ,and, more scoring.

[@ebsmith29]

I was at the PVAMU-TSU game that night. PV almost won it at the end. Yes, you read it correctly. PV almost won the game that night.

[@colonelrobertsjr.7882]

Ahh...the infamous 80 game losing streak!!

[@dwightlove3704]

The only other NFL team to show interest in McNair was the Minnesota Vikings because of Warren Moon.

[@DueceYungByrd]

great game

[@dwightlove3704]

Conley Morrow Nord was signed by the Eagles as a free agent as stated before he had size 6'4" 210.

[@pricebennett]

tyronne jones #6 is a beast

[@cvmorrow]

@clevelandd I agree Kendrick Nord was avery good quarterback. What ever happened to him?

[@007lanski5]

Where was the defense?

[@RayHigginsTV]

Alcorn State is a Div. 1 school.

[@cokeworthy]

im not 100% here, but on the first touchdown, it looked like he dropped the ball before any of his feet went passed the line, and when the ball hit the field it was behind the line, good thing there was no replay back then

[@dahoncho9566]

He did

[@bootupbitch]

Nord was a QB. Just a good athlete. Could've played basketball too

[@dwightlove3704]

Jovian your right Nord was a QB he just needed a chance to show his skills he had size 6'4" 210 and a strong arm.This game accumulated well over 1,000 yds in total offense i among both teams.I think Philadelphia signed Nord as a free agent.

[@PeteMcCorvey]

@cokeworthy Actually they did had have replay, its been around since the 1970s.

[@davidpaul373]

SCSU silence those Tigers very well

[@michealanderson4662]

[@DueceYungByrd]

steve mcnair was great but that other quarter back wasnt no slouch i wonder what happen to him he shoulda made the NFL!!

[@dwightlove3704]

Byrd Brown his name is Kendrick Nord he was signed by Philadelphia as a free agent he had size 6'4" 210.

[@koolmoe1971]

@cvmorrow he ended up getting drafted by the Philadelphia eagles. after 2 yrs he was traded to the new orlean saintsfor 2 more years and went to the CFL. He came back to the NFL after getting picked up by the baltimore ravens hte same year they won the superbowl as a widereceiver. kendrick had a career ending injury that season and hasn't played anymore. I am a child hood friend of his and I see him everyonce in a while.

[@cokeworthy]

@peteymac10 Actually they didn't have replay until sometime in the 2000's. this is college football dude. Eddie Robinson's middle name is probably what your first name should be, j/k

[@jsutiger07]

didnt Alcorn win the SWAC that year?

[@regal394]

yes

[@dahoncho9566]

Co-Champs with Grambling

[@cokeworthy]

@peteymac10 ya, honestly it was in fun, no disrespect intended

[@bryceisnice6]

Believe it or not 1st play of the game was a fumble

@Jacknightshadow he's from mobile

[@colonelrobertsjr.7882]

If I score 56 points in regulation and I lose, there's going to be some unemployed defensive coaches if that trend continues

[@shamaranderson6088]

all div 1 schools wanted him 2 play linebacker or db

[@dwightlove3704]

Shamar ANDERSON You are right McNair was recruited to play on defense

[@dwightlove3704]

JSU Tiger 07 Grambling won it that yr.

[@drequynnrod5077]

I thought asu an gsu tied for swac champs in 94

[@rss83073SFBayArea]

@@drequynnrod5077 You're right, GSU and Alcorn did tie for the SWAC title in 94 (GSU lost the Bayou Classic). However, the tiebreaker went to GSU because of this head-to-head matchup and got the Heritage Bowl birth (SCSU beat GSU).

[@kennethwhitfield7199]

I mean no disrespect but I'm still wondering why Norman Bradford #20 if not the best most certainly one the best high school tailbacks(forsho #1 in state of Louisiana)goes to Grambling an play fullback I'm still lost on that one

He wanted to play for the best.
