HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — Steven Robinson rushed for three touchdowns and Kobi Albert intercepted three passes as Southern Miss rolled past Alcorn State 49-3 on Saturday to give Blake Anderson his first win as the Golden Eagles’ head coach.
Robinson turned in three short scoring runs on his way to 123 yards rushing on 23 carries. Albert’s three interceptions were one short of the school record set by Larry Ussery against Louisiana Tech in 1967.
The Braves (1-1) scored the game’s first and their only points on Kenyon Bowyer’s field goal before the Eagles took the lead for good on Robinson’s 2-yard rush. Ethan Hampton’s 38-yard TD toss to Mario Sanders and Jamarice Wilder’s 2-yard score made it 21-3 by halftime.
Hampton threw for 180 yards with a TD and an interception. Wilder added 90 yards rushing and two scores and Sanders had 94 yards receiving. The Eagles had 543 yards total offense and five takeaways on defense.
Jaylon Tolbert threw all four interceptions.
