MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Finish.Brian Jenkins had grown accustomed to seeing his Bethune-Cookman teams do that time and time again in winning 46 games in five seasons. So watching Alabama State self-destruct in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 24-14 loss to Tennessee State in Nashville, Tennessee, left him shaking his head in disappointment.
“I was used to teams finishing,” Jenkins said. “We just didn’t do that. I was used to a team staying in the moment and this is new to all these guys.”
They say teams improve the most from Game 1 to Game 2. If that holds true here, ASU should handle the fourth quarter far better Saturday against Alcorn State than it did in its season opener.
Even if they do, the Hornets (0-1) could still wind up falling to the Braves (0-1) before what should be a near capacity crowd at the 26,500-seat ASU Stadium.
