Albany State hopes to continue momentum

ALBANY, Georgia -- With momentum still in their favor after a big homecoming victory, the Albany State Rams are hoping to rain on Clark-Atlanta University’s parade as they face the Panthers for homecoming.

The ASU defense achieved their first shutout of the season last week thanks to three interceptions in the first quarter. Marquez Hodo earned SIAC Newcomer of the Week honors after picking off two passes in the 38-0 contest against Morehouse.

The defense put the offense in the position to make plays, but outside of Jarvis Small, who rushed for more than 100 yards again, ASU had trouble moving the ball down the field and putting points on the board, a goal head coach Dan Land set before the game.

The offense looked much more fluid in the second half as quarterback Caleb Edmonds finished with 169 passing yards and no interceptions. Offensive coordinator Steve Smith said they had to take it back to the basics at the half.
