SWAC's top offenses to square off when Prairie View comes to Alabama State

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State's matchup against Prairie View A&M will feature the SWAC's top two offenses.

The Hornets (4-2, 4-1) lead the league in scoring at 36.7 points per game while the Panthers (4-2, 3-1) are just behind them at No. 2 in the conference with 35.7 points per game.

Both run the increasingly popular fast-paced offense, which utilizes read options and primarily short pass attempts to move the ball down the field.

Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Saturday at the Hornets' new stadium.

"We're going to get prepared to play a very-fast tempo football team," Prairie View coach Heishma Northern said during the weekly SWAC coaches teleconference today. "I was looking at the film this morning, and to tell you how fast they were going, you could see the train crew still moving after they got a first down. So, we have to be prepared."
