MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State held their final practice in Montgomery before boarding a plane first thing in the morning (Friday) to head to Houston where they will face Texas Southern in a Saturday Southwestern Athletic Conference showdown.
"This is a business trip for us," Head Coach Reggie Barlow said. "It is another opportunity for us to go on the road and play another conference game against a really good team. They have had to overcome some adversity, but just watching them on film, they have great size along the front, both offensively and defensively."
"It will be another challenge for us because there is so much parity in our league. We've been working, the guys are focused and we are looking forward to playing in Texas and have an opportunity to play against a good team."
ASU is looking for more consistency. They have done some things well, but have been unable to find the constant consistency for a full four quarters.
"We have had some good performances by some of our guys," Barlow said. "Our thing is we want to sustain our effort. We have talked about consistently doing a lot of things well as we continue to go. If we can continue to put good performances together by individuals, and with our defense and special teams then we will have an opportunity to have success. So I'm looking forward to watching these guys. They have been working hard all week."
Opening kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. The game can be heard live on WVAS FM 90.7 beginning with the pregame at 5:45 p.m.
