Kincade steps up for Grambling
Devante Kincade came off the bench to throw three touchdown passes as Grambling beat Division II Clark Atlanta 31- 20 in the 20th annual Chicago Football Classic at Soldier Field on Saturday, a showcase for historically black colleges and universities as renowned for its Battle of the Bands as for its football.
After starter Geremy Hickbottom was injured in the first quarter, Kincade came on to complete 19 of 31 attempts for 230 yards and three scores.
Clark Atlanta scored first after driving 88 yards in 13 plays. Carlos Saldana kicked a 29- yard field goal to put the Panthers up 3- 0. Kincade answered with a 23- yard pass to Darrell Clark and followed that two minutes later with a 59- yard strike to Jordan Jones to make it 14- 3.
