Alabama A&M-Alabama State prepare for Classic
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- James Spady had never lived in Alabama before he was hired to take over Alabama A&M's football program last December. But once he arrived, it didn't take long for him to understand that the most important game on the Bulldogs' schedule is the annual Magic City Classic against Alabama State.
"I have heard about the Classic since the moment I got off the plane in Huntsville," Spady said. "I know this is a special game that means a lot to our players and fans."
Kickoff for the 73rd annual Magic City Classic is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Legion Field. Alabama State has won three of the past four games in the series, including a 31-7 victory last season.
While Spady is new to the series, Saturday's game will mark the 14th time that ASU coach Reggie Barlow has either played or coached in the Magic City Classic.
