Grambling QB keeps focus on family


MACHIAVELLI

Chairman/C.E.O.
The quarterback for Grambling State University has a lot more than football on his mind these days, and there are more people in his house than in his huddle.

Bruce Eugene is from New Orleans. His rented house in northern Louisiana, about 6 miles from the Grambling campus, has become a disaster shelter for about a dozen family members, including his mother, a brother and a sister.

"It's hard to feed everyone," said Eugene, whose Division I-AA Tigers will take on Washington State at 4 p.m. Saturday at Qwest Field. "I've been taking my anger and animosity out in football."

Eugene said the family home in New Orleans is underwater.

"We lost everything," he said.

Eugene said he still doesn't know the fate of an aunt and some cousins.
