ASU kickoff moved to 4 pm in battle of unbeatens this Saturday

Alabama State University's showdown with Alcorn State University will be moved to 4 p.m. on Saturday at Jack Sprinks Stadium in Lorman, Miss. The two unbeaten teams were originally scheduled to play at 2 p.m., but the time has changed due to anticipated mid-day heat. The teams are the only remaining that are unbeaten in the SWAC.



Hornets swarming

Monday morning, just two days after Reggie Barlow’s Alabama State team notched a landmark victory at Prairie View, the Hornets’ fourth-year coach didn’t gloat. Instead, he apologized.

Alabama State dumped the reigning champions of Southwestern Athletic Conference with a game-winning field goal in a hard-fought 18-15 win — and upon further review, Barlow said, his players might have taken their celebration a little too far. Barlow made it clear he didn’t intend to show up Prairie View or its coaching staff.

ASU's Lyons named Special Teams Player of Week

MONTGOMERY, AL — Andrew Lyons, place kicker for Alabama State University, has been named the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Special Teams Player of the Week. Lyons, a junior from Panama City, Fla., hit a game-winning 47-yard field goal with 23 seconds left to give ASU an 18-15 win at Prairie View A&M over the weekend. Lyons also connected on his only extra-point attempt.

The 47-yard field goal was Lyons career-long and was his fourth field goal of the season. He leads the team in points with 20 as he has also hit all eight of his extra point attempts.
