Reggie Benson, Huntsville TimesSince Alabama A&M quarterback Kelcy Luke can't earn All-Southwestern Athletic Conference honors, maybe Tennessee State coach James Webster can vote him on to the All-Ohio Valley Conference team. After all, Luke has guided the Bulldogs to three straight wins over the Tigers.
Tennessee State coach James Webster won't keep his job if he continues to play running back Terrence Wright ahead of Javarris Williams. Williams rushed for 123 yards on 20 carries, while Wright had nine yards on seven carries.
Alabama A&M may be better than anybody expected on offense. The Bulldogs scored 49 points, finished with 450 yards and nine different players caught passes Saturday night.
Former Johnson High star Carlton Rice sat on the bench for three years at Mississippi State, but it didn't take him long to make his presence felt at Alabama A&M. Rice was named the John Merritt Classic's Most Valuable Defensive Player with eight tackles, including six solos, one tackle for loss and one interception.
Alabama A&M won't need Jeremy Licea to kick any field goals this season if it continues to score like it did against Tennessee State. However, it was refreshing to see Licea make all seven of his extra points after struggling last season.
Tennessee State lost the game, but the Tigers' band, the Aristocrats, won the halftime show.
