A comeback was not to be in the fourth annual Allstate HBCU Legacy Bowl.
Alabama State pass rusher Treqwan Thomas, named the game’s Defensive Most Valuable Player, made sure of that, logging four crucial sacks for Team Robinson on the way to a 17-14 victory over Team Gaither last week at Yulman Stadium in New Orleans.
In the HBCU Legacy Bowl, “Team Robinson” is named after legendary Grambling State University football coach Eddie Robinson, while “Team Gaither” is named after legendary Florida A&M University football coach Jake Gaither; both are highly respected figures in HBCU athletics history.
