LORMAN – Darius Smith threw four touchdown passes and ran for another score as Alcorn State crushed Concordia-Selma 58-16 on Saturday.

Smith finished 9 of 18 for 162 yards passing with an interception for the Braves (2-4), and Arnold Walker added 115 yards on 21 carries.

The Braves actually trailed Concordia-Selma of the NAIA 6-0 early in the opening quarter, but then ripped off 51 straight points to sink the Hornets.

Smith’s scores opened and closed the run, including 41- and 18-yard touchdown passes to Terrance Lewis and a 10-yard scoring scamper.

Alcorn State tallied five interceptions off three separate Concordia quarterbacks, and William Thomas returned one of those 45 yards for a score. Terrance Jenkins also ran back a blocked punt for a 42-yard touchdown for the Braves.

Johnathan Craig had 86 yards rushing and a score to lead the Hornets.
