The last week has been one long problem-solving session for the Alabama State football team. Head coach Reggie Barlow and his staff spent several hours the day after the Hornets' 28-7 loss to Bethune-Cookman identifying all the problems that plagued the team in that game. Over the last seven days, they've methodically gone about the process of correcting.

"We've tried to be smart with the way we went about practice," Barlow said. "We focused on things that we wanted to fix, got out there, got it done and got off the field. We practiced four days, but they were all quick, hour-and-a-half practices that were focused. I think that was best for all of us." The short practices also allowed injured players time to heal and gave the team somewhat of a break after several consecutive weeks of practices and games.
