MONTGOMERY, Alabama - Football can be complex. There are myriad formations and as many audibles out of those formations into others. There are techniques, reads, down-and-distance situations to remember and two-minute drills to run to perfection.But the game is also awfully simple at times. Often, the difference between winning and losing boils down to the most rudimentary aspects such as stopping the run.
It's an issue Alabama State will have to address, following its 38-28 loss to Bethune-Cookman in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge in Orlando this past Sunday. Alabama State led 21-0 before crumbling in the second half.
The Hornets gave up 367 yards on the ground in the loss to the Wildcats, who led their conference in rushing last year. Wildcats running backs Isidore Jackson and Rodney Scott both had 100-plus yard outings. Jackson led the way with 123 yards on 21 carries and Scott had 103 yards and a touchdown while toting the rock 13 times.
