GRAMBLING, La. (AP) - Malik Route scored on a punt return, De’Arius Christmas on an interception return, and Devohn Lindsey on a fumble recovery as Grambling State shut out Alabama State 34-0 on Saturday night.
Route’s 79-yard punt return for a touchdown came early in the game, followed by quarterback Aldon Clark’s 11-yard keeper for a touchdown and Christmas’ 66-yard interception return for a score and the Tigers (1-2, 1-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference) led 21-0 with 3:24 to go in the first quarter.
Marc Orozco kicked a pair of field goals, one in the second quarter from 21 yards and the other in the third from 29 yards, to extend Grambling’s lead to 27-0. Lindsey’s endzone fumble recovery of a stripped Kobe Ross reception with 8:50 left to play capped the scoring.
