Game preview: Alabama State vs. Alabama A&M



WATCH GAME: ESPN3, TIME: 3:30 PM ET

FOUR-DOWN TERRITORY

1 No need for speeches: There won't be any problem getting players ready to play in the Magic City Classic, ASU coach Reggie Barlow said. "There is always going to be a handful where you need to find your creative, motivational tactics," he said, "but if you watch the film and don't pay attention to the record, you'll see these (Alabama A&M) guys are playing hard and running to the ball and have playmakers. And, then, this is the Classic. Who needs motivation for that?"

2 Revamping the offense: The Hornet offense may look a little different this week after some changes by offensive coordinator Fred Kaiss. "Coach and (his staff) came up with something (in the) running game, which I really like," Barlow said. "There are some things I'm really excited about. I think the knowledgeable fan will be able to see it and go, 'Wow, that's new.' And people who like D-line play will see there are one or two new wrinkles. Everybody does that coming off a bye week."
