The two teams will square off in their annual showdown at the 72nd Annual State Farm Magic City Classic presented by Coca-Cola Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at Birmingham's Legion Field.
The Hornets (6-2, 6-1 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference) and riding a six-game winning streak while the Bulldogs are 2-5 (2-3) and have dropped two in a row against Mississippi Valley State.
The matchup will pit the Alabama State's second-rated offense at 38.3 points per game against Alabama A&M's defense, a unit which is rated No. 1 in the league in total defense, allowing 278 yards per game.
"They're playing a good bit of people up front," Barlow said of the Bulldogs. Typically, some of the kids, may not be big in girth on the inside are really active or use a variety of moves. So, our offensive line has to make sure they're knee-benders and not waist-benders and make sure that we are moving our feet against those athletic guys."
