NORMAL, Alabama -- It’s no surprise that Alabama A&M is one of the best teams in HBCU football. The Bulldogs are off to a 5-0 start (4-0 in the SWAC) for the first time since 1966 when Alabama A&M finished 8-1. Last season, they played for the SWAC championship, losing to Grambling State for the league title. Alabama A&M defeated Grambling State, 38-17, on Sept. 29 in a rematch of the championship game.
The Bulldogs have some great players in quarterback Deaunte Mason and running back Kaderius Lacey. They also have a coach who has been around for a long time. Anthony Jones is in his 11th year as the program’s head coach and has an overall record of 77-45.
Jones has won five division titles. In 2006, he guided Alabama A&M to a 9-3 overall mark and a SWAC championship. He could be headed for another conference title this season. Alabama A&M will visit Mississippi Valley State (1-3 overall, 1-1 SWAC) on Saturday aiming for its sixth consecutive win. Nobody is playing better than the Bulldogs in the SWAC, and there aren’t many teams playing as well as them in the FCS.
