HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- James Spady is bringing the pistol offense to Alabama A&M, but is still banking on winning with defense.The Bulldogs have been much more adept on that side of the ball, anyway.
"Offense relies on precision, and when the precision's not there, you'd better be able to stop the other team from scoring," Spady said. "Our offense will complement our defense. We'll set them up for success."
Spady, a former Grambling State offensive coordinator, replaced longtime coach Anthony Jones after serving as tight ends and co-offensive line coach at Nevada from 2010-13. He learned the pistol offense from now-retired Nevada coach Chris Ault.
It presents Southwestern Athletic Conference defenses with a different look. The Bulldogs were ninth in the SWAC in scoring last season, averaging just 16.4 points a game. They led the league in total defense, though.
Alabama A&M is trying to rebound from a 4-8 season that ended with Jones's dismissal after 12 years.
