Prairie View A&M reasserted its dominance in the Southwestern Athletic Conference by dismantling Alabama A&M 31-10 on Saturday at Panther Stadium. The victory marked the Panthers’ third consecutive win, securing a 5-5 overall record and a 4-2 mark in conference play. This result keeps Prairie View tied for the West Division lead with Alcorn State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff, maintaining their momentum as the regular season enters its critical final stretch.
Panthers respond to late surge with 21 unanswered points, keeping championship hopes alive
The game featured a dramatic late-game shift that tested the Panthers’ composure. Alabama A&M (7-3, 4-2) mounted a spirited effort to pull within 14-0 early in the fourth quarter, threatening to force a closer contest. However, Prairie View’s offense responded decisively, scoring 21 unanswered points to close the game. Tevin Carter orchestrated the offensive explosion, throwing for 292 yards and two touchdowns, while Zayvion Turner-Knox and Chase Bingmon added rushing scores to solidify the blowout.
With the win, Prairie View remains firmly in the hunt for a return to the SWAC championship game. The Panthers now travel to Pine Bluff next week for a pivotal matchup against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. This contest is widely regarded as the key determinant for the West Division title, and Prairie View enters the game with the confidence of a team that has proven its ability to close out opponents when it matters most.
