While Tennessee State got the W for their efforts, Arkansas-Pine Bluff may have found its own solution at quarterback going forward. Junior QB Mekhi Hagens was outstanding in defeat, passing for 276 yards and 3 touchdowns on 15 of 31 completions. Wide Receiver JaVonnie Gibson was the main target for this prolific passing display, catching 5 passes for 149 yards, and a touchdown. The display was an eye-opening one for the UAPB faithful and may bode well for the Golden Tigers' fortunes in what's looking to be a wide-open SWAC West division race.
