LORMAN, Mississippi -- Alcorn State doesn’t look in the rearview mirror and charges ahead with a new attitude every week.
Saturday, the Braves (6-3, 5-2 Southwestern Athletic Conference) take on Alabama A&M (2-7, 2-5) in another tough SWAC matchup at Spinks-Casem Stadium. An Alcorn victory will give it back-to-back conference championships under coach Jay Hopson, but its focus remains steadfast.
“That’s why you play the game, to have the opportunity to compete for championships,” Hopson said. “It’s a goal of ours but we understand we have to play 60 minutes of football to achieve that. Our focus is on A&M and that’s all we can focus on.”
Bulldogs’ coach James Spady is ready to go against the Braves. In his SWAC teleconference comments this week, he commended the Braves’ coaching staff for their well-mannered structure and decorum on the field.
“Alcorn’s a really good football team,” Spady said. “Coach Hopson and his group are quite well organized. They have things in place where they’re able to just keep one foot in front of the other and keep it moving. We would love to be at that stage.”
