This week: Alabama A&M (7-4, 6-3 in the SWAC in 2012) at Grambling State (1-10, 0-9), 6 p.m., Eddie Robinson Stadium, Grambling, La.
Last week: This is the season opener, but the Bulldogs are coming off a 2 ½-hour Saturday scrimmage in which the first-team offenses and defense both performed smoothly.
Saturday's standouts: Quarterback Brandon Wells had several long touchdown passes, including two to Montaurius Smith.
Coach Anthony Jones says: "When you deal with a first game of the year, you're going to be in a fog with what they do. We're more so in a fog because we don't have footage on their tendencies, what their personnel is, that sort of things. The way you prepare for that is (in practice give them) different looks, send a lot of pressure. You try to put your quarterback, running backs, offensive line, receivers, in the toughest situation you can put them in as far as pressure is concerned and different looks. You're not easy on them. And that's what I've done this training camp. ... You turn the heat up and maybe the guys go back and think, 'I need to work a little harder.'"
