MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- It wasn’t supposed to be Jahaad Coleman standing at midfield hoisting the offensive MVP trophy following the conclusion of Thursday’s Turkey Day Classic.
He’s just a fifth-string running back for crying out loud. However, there was Coleman sprinting down the left sideline late in the fourth quarter for the game-clinching touchdown that sealed Alabama State’s 41-28 victory over Stillman.
“It’s mindblowing, I never expected it,” said Coleman, who ran for a career-high 150 yards and two TDs in front of a homecoming crowd of 14,396. “Coach (Reggie Barlow) told me to have patience because you never know what can happen.
“This is really amazing, there’s so much going through my head right now. I didn’t see this coming at all.”
