HOUSTON, TEXAS (September 29, 2017) The Texas Southern Tigers faced Alcorn State in the second home game of the season on Friday, September 29, 2017, and in a bit of deja’vu from the game against HBU, came close to pulling off a win in the final seconds, dropping a 24-17 decision at BBVA Compass Stadium on Friday, September 29, 2017.
After a
rough start where Alcorn scored in the 3rd minute
and again in the 15th minute, TSU scored an incredible
touchdown on the ensuing kick, a 93-yard return by the
wide receiver Daequan Jones.

The second half scoring was even with TSU and Alcorn Scoring a touchdown apiece in the 3rd
quarter and each with a field goal in the 4th. As the final seconds
counted down, quarterback Dominic DeLira’s (shown right) rookie play caught up with him. Alcorn’s
defense shut down the final pass that, while ruled incomplete, was almost
intercepted anyway, ending the game 24-17.
DeLira had some bright spots with ab admirable eight third-down conversions, 17 first downs; just shy of Alcorn's 20-yard line, and 295 yards from 71 plays, with the assist of runnung bacvcl Brad Woodard; with whom he traded off the snap for a few special plays; one of which caught Alcorn off-guard.
