MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State’s high-powered offense will take a three-game winning streak on the road to Texas this week, but the Hornets will be missing two starters when they face Texas Southern on Saturday.
Both right tackle Tovar Allen and cornerback Michael Showers suffered injuries in the third quarter of Saturday’s 49-30 win over Alcorn State and will miss this weekend’s game with Texas Southern, head coach Reggie Barlow said. Tailback Malcolm Cyrus, who also left the game after suffering a bruised shoulder in the third quarter, is fine and will play this weekend.
The loss of Allen and Showers had a silver lining, however. Allen, who was helped off the field with what was initially thought to be a serious ankle injury, has a high ankle sprain and should return in time for the Magic City Classic on Oct. 26, Barlow said. Showers, who was taken off of the field on a stretcher and rushed to a local hospital, was released later that night and suffered a neck stinger. He is being held out of Saturday’s game as a precaution.
