TURKEY DAY CLASSIC BUZZ --Tuskegee at Alabama State WHAT: Tuskegee (9-1) at Alabama State (7-3)
WHEN: Thursday, 3 p.m.
WHERE: Alabama State's new stadium
TV: The game will be televised live on ESPNU
LINE: None
THIS GAME WILL DETERMINE: Technically, nothing. Tuskegee, the Southern Intercollegiate Conference champion, will go on to to the Pioneer Bowl on December 1st and Alabama State's season is over regardless of the outcome. But it's the 89th annual meeting between the Division II Tuskegee and FCS Alabama State, making it a perfect kickoff to rivalry weekend. Tuskegee's lone loss came in a 7-6 game against Alabama A&M, the Hornets', arch-nemesis, in Week 1. Alabama State beat the Bulldogs by 18 in the Magic City Classic. Tuskegee has downed Miles and Stillman, which owns a victory against Concordia-Selma. So, if there were a state black college championship game, it'd be this. And all that's not to mention the fact, the Hornets are opening their new $62-million on-campus stadium to cap off their homecoming week with the oldest classic game in all of black college football.
