GRAMBLING, La. -- Malcolm Cyrus ran for 180 yards and a touchdown on Saturday, and Alabama State snapped Grambling State's seven-game winning streak with a 37-23 victory.
Alabama State (6-5, 5-4 Southwest Athletic Conference) went up 34-23 with 14:27 left on Daniel Duhart's third touchdown pass, a 40-yarder to Ephraim Henderson. Preston Clark's 44-yard field goal capped the scoring about 8 minutes later.
Johnathan Williams' 60-yard touchdown pass for Grambling (7-4, 7-1) cut the Tigers' deficit to 28-23 with 14:17 to play.
