HOUSTON, Texas – While many of his peers may be satisfied with saying, “We’re on to (fill in the opponent here),” Alabama State first-year head coach Brian Jenkins’ advice to young coaches is to “enjoy the moment.”“Don’t make the mistake and not enjoy every moment as a coach,” Jenkins said after the Hornets defeated Texas Southern, 41-23 on Thursday night at BBVA Compass Stadium. “Once the moment’s gone, they don’t come back. I’m going to enjoy this victory, tell some jokes, laugh and watch my players try to imitate me a little bit. When the sun rises, I’ll put my mind on Southern.”
Prayers to the Jaguars
The Hornets have more than a week until they host the defending Southwestern Athletic Conference runner-up Southern (2-2, 2-0), but Jenkins’ post-game comments regarding the Jaguars transcended football.
Jenkins opened up the post-game press conference by sending prayers from the ASU program to Baton Rouge, La., for the quick recovery of junior wide receiver Devon Gales, who suffered a spinal injury during a Sept. 26 game at Georgia.
