MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State will play its third game of the season Saturday with its third different lineup in the secondary.This time, it's because of a sprained foot suffered by safety Nagee Bright, which will push Ka'Ra Stewart back into a starting role against Mississippi Valley State.
Stewart was the starter in the season opener before a shakeup of the secondary moved Bright from cornerback to safety, benching Stewart in the process.
But after giving up 396 passing yards to Sam Houston State and 340 to Tennessee State, Hornets coach Reggie Barlow knows what to expect Saturday from the football program that made Willie Totten and Jerry Rice household names.
"Think about Mississippi Valley and what they've always been," Barlow said. "That's been their game. They're going to throw it. That's something we have to be ready for. We knew Tennessee State wanted to run the ball, and it's kind of like a gift and a curse. Do we really want to stop the run because now we're going to make them pass.
