    Howard Beats Morgan State on an Overtime Pick-Six, Jackson State Falls: Who's Really No. 1 in HBCU Football? | Road Warriors

    Howard walks off Morgan State in overtime on a pick-six, Jackson State falls to Bethune-Cookman, and North Carolina Central hangs 31 on Delaware State — MEAC opening weekend blew up every preseason assumption, and the national picture has never been muddier. Why it matters: with November here, there is no clear frontrunner in a single HBCU conference. Jacobi Simmons, Steve (SJG) and Josh open with the top-three debate — Alabama A&M is the consensus No. 1 after the chaos and South Carolina State sits at No. 2. Guest Vaughn Wilson still finds a spot for Morgan State at No. 3 even after the Bears blew a 14-point lead to Howard, Josh takes "the field," and Steve goes off-script with North Carolina Central at No. 3 after the Eagles' payback rout in Dover. The MEAC report: Howard's defense carried a quiet offense for three quarters before the Bison stole the game in overtime, 26-20. North Carolina Central's RPO game carved up Delaware State behind a 15-for-18, 155-yard day from its quarterback, and Trei Oliver's young Eagles now get Howard next. In the other opener, South Carolina State beat Norfolk State 22-7. Vaughn joins for Segment 3: three MEAC winners, three different identities — North Carolina Central, South Carolina State and Howard — and who actually looks built to win the league. South Carolina State gets the nod as the most complete team, with a running back injury worth watching. Plus: Bowie State's 16-13 stunner over Johnson C. Smith scrambles the CIAA tiebreakers; the panel pauses for a sobering report from Vaughn on the shooting that marred Florida A&M's homecoming — 11 people struck and no fatalities reported at airtime; and the Brick by Brick Player of the Week goes to North Carolina Central freshman running back Gino Addison, who ran for 214 yards in the win at Delaware State. Lookahead: Howard at North Carolina Central, Delaware State vs. Norfolk State at Lincoln Financial Field, Virginia State at Johnson C. Smith, and the Magic City Classic.

    Kentucky State Leads, Benedict, Edward Waters and Central State All 5-1: The SIAC Race Is a Four-Team Pileup | SIAC Sit Down

    Benedict goes to Albany State and wins 29-8 with a defense that allows 152 total yards — and the Tigers still do not have the SIAC race to themselves. Why it matters: Sly and Jamie break down a weekend of SIAC upsets and statements that left the top of the conference stacked. Kentucky State sits first in the standings at 6-1 in the SIAC after escaping Savannah State 27-24, while Benedict, Edward Waters and Central State are all 5-1 right behind — and nobody has clinched anything. On the show: Benedict's defense (four sacks, two interceptions, a defensive touchdown), David Smith's 113 rushing yards and Zane Spires' school-record field goal at Albany State. Edward Waters hangs 62 on Clark Atlanta behind Tavion Faulk's seven touchdowns — one week after losing 45-24 at Benedict, so can that offense hold up against the conference's best? Central State, the overlooked story: 48-20 at Miles, five straight conference wins since losing its opener to Kentucky State, a contender at 5-1 despite a 5-3 overall record. Plus Lane's first win of the season, 16-6 at Fort Valley State, and Tuskegee's 26-23 escape against Allen.

    Bowie State Stuns Johnson C. Smith 16-13 on Homecoming: Five Teams, Four Championship-Weekend Spots | CIAA vs Everybody

    Bowie State beats Johnson C. Smith 16-13 on homecoming — a touchdown with 34 seconds left — and hands the Golden Bulls their first CIAA loss of the season. Why it matters: SJG and K-Ferg break down a thriller that blew up the CIAA championship picture. Johnson C. Smith outgained Bowie State 383-194 but went 3-for-5 in the red zone with two field goals, and Bowie's defense made the lead stand up. Five teams are now chasing four spots at championship weekend in Durham, with Virginia Union (6-0 CIAA) and Virginia State still unbeaten in conference play. Also on the show: Winston-Salem State wins its second straight, 21-14 at Lincoln (PA); Elizabeth City State beats Livingstone 34-26 for its own streak; a peek at the NCAA Division II playoff picture; and previews of the weekend that decides the race — Virginia State at Johnson C. Smith and Bowie State at Fayetteville State on Saturday, plus Virginia Union vs Lincoln (PA) Friday night at Lincoln Financial Field.

    Virginia Union Blows Out Bowie State, Virginia State Drops 76: Three Unbeatens, Two Championship Spots | CIAA vs Everybody

    SJG and K-Ferg break down a BTA-filled week in the CIAA — Virginia Union's 48–7 statement win at Bowie State and Virginia State's 76–13 rout of Shaw — and look ahead to another weekend that will sort out the championship race. Three teams are still unbeaten in conference play — Virginia State (6–0), Johnson C. Smith (5–0) and Virginia Union (5–0) — with only the No. 1 vs. No. 2 championship game and the Friday Night Blitz spots available. Also covered: Johnson C. Smith's 40–6 win over Lincoln (Pa.) and Saturday's response game at Bowie State. Originally streamed October 21, 2026.

    Benedict Hands Edward Waters Its First SIAC Loss — and Lane Fires Its Head Coach | SIAC Sit Down

    Sly and Jamie break down last week's SIAC action — headlined by Benedict's 45–24 win over previously conference-unbeaten Edward Waters — plus the spankings handed out around the league and the firing of Lane head coach Stanely Conner. Benedict's ground game (238 rushing yards; David Smith 106 yards and 2 TDs) built a 35–3 halftime lead and tightened the one-loss logjam behind Kentucky State (5–1), with Benedict, Edward Waters and Central State all at 4–1 in conference play. Originally streamed October 21, 2026.

    Alabama A&M Hangs 61 on Grambling, Benedict Routs Edward Waters 45-24: Who's Really No. 1 in HBCU Football? | Road Warriors

    Alabama A&M hangs 61 on Grambling State and Benedict's defense dismantles Edward Waters 45-24 — so who is actually playing the best football in HBCU country right now? Why it matters: with conference races about to start, Jacobi Simmons, Steve (SJG) and Josh open Road Warriors with a top-three debate — Jackson State, Alabama A&M, Morgan State and South Carolina State all get a case — and nobody's claim survives the weekend untouched. Jackson State beat Florida A&M 27-17 on homecoming but has a quarterback question; Alabama A&M scored 61 yet already lost the head-to-head with Jackson State. The Road Report: Winston-Salem State finally gets its first win, scoring 43 points against Bluefield State after scoring 38 all season, behind 180-plus rushing yards from walk-on Danzy. Benedict hands Edward Waters its first SIAC loss, 45-24 — up 35-3 at halftime — and the Benedict defense is so dominant it takes Player of the Week as a whole unit. And Jacobi reports from Howard homecoming, where Howard closed out Morehouse 31-17 behind Eden James (120 yards on 13 carries) but piled up nine penalties for 100 yards with Morgan State up next. Plus: the MEAC picture before a single conference game — Morgan State 5-2, South Carolina State 5-2, Delaware State and Norfolk State 4-3, Howard 3-4, North Carolina Central 2-5 — and whether Morgan State is still the team to beat after losing at Tennessee State. The CIAA's three unbeatens — Virginia State (76 points this week), Virginia Union (48-7 over Bowie State) and Johnson C. Smith — are chasing two championship spots. In the SWAC: Prairie View A&M edged Alcorn State 41-38, Bethune-Cookman beat Mississippi Valley State 34-14, and Alabama State topped Arkansas-Pine Bluff 21-15. Lookahead: North Carolina Central at Delaware State, Howard at Morgan State, Norfolk State at South Carolina State, and Benedict at Albany State.

    Jackson State's Homecoming Comeback vs Florida A&M, 44,173 Cheeks in the Seats | Queens of the Yard

    Sheena is still recovering from homecoming — and she was in the building in Jackson as Jackson State came back to beat Florida A&M in front of 44,173 fans, the biggest crowd in this week's Cheeks in the Seats. Why it matters: homecoming is where HBCU football, culture and business meet, and this episode connects all three — the games, the crowds, and the economic impact on the communities around them. Jackson State trailed the Rattlers 17–12 in the third quarter, then scored 15 unanswered points to win 27–17 and improve to 6–1 overall (3–1 in SWAC play). Around the board: Alabama A&M put 61 on Grambling State, Howard beat Morehouse 31–17, Tennessee State handled Morgan State 25–6, and Bethune-Cookman topped Mississippi Valley State 34–14. Cheeks in the Seats attendance leaders: Jackson State 44,173; Alabama A&M vs. Grambling State 14,000; Howard vs. Morehouse nearly 10,000. Sheena also gives women athletes their flowers across volleyball, soccer and cross country, names Dr. Mon'nique Smith (Hampton University professor, former St. Paul's College SID) her Queen of the Week, and previews NC A&T women's basketball — opening Nov. 2 vs. Wingate, with Nebraska (Nov. 10), Navy (Nov. 20) and a Dec. 16 rivalry date with North Carolina Central on the calendar. Plus: Jackson State's history and legacy (founded 1877), the Sonic Boom of the South, and the business of homecoming. Originally streamed October 22, 2026.
