Georgia Tech faces off against Alcorn State on Thursday in what should be a non-competitive game. Georgia Tech last played another member of the SWAC, Alabama A&M, in 2013, easily dispatching them to the tune of a 66-7 final score.
Let’s find out more about Alcorn State.
Background info:
Alcorn State is a historically black college or university located in Lorman, Miss. about 70 miles southwest of Jackson, Miss. Founded in 1871 in the location of a former white college, the originally named Alcorn University was an early land-grant college.
The university was soon renamed Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College, as agriculture was a main study at the time.
