MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Isaiah Crowell will be ready to go when Alabama State opens its 2013 football season at home against Jacksonville State Saturday despite sitting out the Hornets' final preseason scrimmage this past weekend.
"Isaiah's fine," ASU's Reggie Barlow said during Monday's first weekly coaches' teleconference. "He showed us all we needed to see from him in the first couple scrimmages. Saturday, we weren't going to have him do a whole bunch anyway because it was a controlled scrimmage. We weren't tackling. It was just, you know, another opportunity to kind of get a good practice in."
The Georgia transfer rushed for 842 yards and a SWAC-leading 15 touchdowns to help the Hornets finish 7-4 in his first season in black and gold in 2012 and earned him first-team all-league honors. The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder from Columbus, Ga. scored on a 21-yard run in the Hornets second scrimmage a week prior.
