Both teams are looking for their first win of the season. Grambling running back Ke&#8217;travion Hargrove (12 carries, 61 yards, touchdown) could have a big day against a Golden Tiger defense that allowed 229 yards on the ground last week.<em> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Tigers 27, Golden Tigers 17<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.

If Hampton wants to avoid starting the season 0-2 for the first time since 2016, they\u2019ll have to slow down a Panther offense that racked up a school-record 674 yards, led by running back Jada Byers (14 carries, 211 yards, three touchdowns).<em> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Panthers 28, Pirates 27<\/em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.

If current head coach Chennis Berry wants to duplicate that outcome and earn his first victory on the FCS level, the Bulldog defense can\u2019t allow 15 points in the fourth quarter in consecutive weeks.<em> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>South Carolina State 17, Citadel 14<\/em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.

Saturday\u2019s \u201c<em>Battle of the States\u201d<\/em> has all the hallmarks of a great ground &amp; pound contest as NSU will look to stop Virginia State running back Jimmyll Williams (150 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns) while re-establishing Kevon King (172 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns) as the focus of their offense.<em> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Spartans 28, Trojans 20<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.
