MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State head football coach Reggie Barlow addressed the media on the Southwestern Athletic Conference's weekly coaches teleconference. He spent time going over the off week and then talked about the Hornets next opponent, Alabama A&M, at the 72nd State Farm Magic City Classic.
"Like most coaches and teams around the country we have a lot of guys nicked up," Barlow said.
"We had an opportunity to work smart with our practices and we didn't practice as long as we usually practice. It was just to get a little work in. We also gave the guys some time off so they could catch up in their studies. But all-in-all it was productive and we got back in here to prepare for the Magic City Classic."
ASU and AAMU will meet at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26 at Legion Field for the 72nd State Farm Magic City Classic. It will be Barlow's seventh time to lead ASU into the Classic as the head coach.
"Of course the Classic is always a magnificent atmosphere and always a good game," Barlow said.
"A&M has always done a good job of playing very physical, running the ball, being aggressive on defense and they have always had solid players that can make plays and it is no different this year. It will be another big challenge for us, but I imagine both teams are looking forward to playing in one of our biggest games of the year."
Alabama State also received word today the Southeastern Conference (SEC) has released the kickoff time for the ASU-Kentucky game and where it will be aired. The kickoff has been scheduled for 6:30 p.m. (CT) and will be aired on Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS). The game will be played Saturday, Nov. 2 in Lexington at Kentucky's Commonwealth Stadium.
