From the action on the field to the sounds of the bands in the stands, HBCU football, culture and tradition were on full display all weekend. 🏆🥁

What a performance by Alcorn State QB Jaylon Tolbert, who broke three offensive records in tonight’s 53-51 2OT win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff -- he rallied after throwing a pick-6 to start the fourth quarter to put his team down 31-18 -- such resilience! —
