Former Syracuse running back Jarveon Howard had a big game on Saturday, but it wasn’t enough to lift Alcorn State to a win.
Howard rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, and caught a 16-yard pass for another score, but his Braves fell to Texas Southern 34-27 in a Southwestern Athletic Conference game.
Howard has rushed for 860 yards and nine touchdowns this season.
