Turkey Day Classic - Coleman's redemption: ASU tailback takes advantage of second chance with a career day

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.
