Alabama State football: Low scoring affair in spring game for Hornets

MONTGOMERY, Alabama - If you arrived on time for Alabama State’s annual Black and Gold Game, you missed virtually all of the scoring.

Tailback Rodney Cross powered into the end zone from a yard out to give the Black a 14-7 overtime victory over the White (or Gold) team after both teams had scored touchdowns in the first few minutes of ASU’s annual spring game at Hornet Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Those points came well before the scheduled 1 p.m. kickoff after head coach Reggie Barlow started the game early to avoid the threat of afternoon thunderstorms which, thankfully, never arrived.

“We were a little worried about the weather,” Barlow said after the two-hour workout. “We did find out God is a Hornet. He held (the rain) off for us, but we had to start it early. As a matter of fact, the referees had not made it out here yet. We ran about four plays without them.”
