MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State has certainly grown since its season opener back in September.
An 0-3 overall start wasn’t enough to derail the team’s confidence. Two months later, the Hornets are a win away from clinching its sixth consecutive winning season.
Alabama State (5-4, 5-3 SWAC) hosts Prairie View A&M in its SWAC finale at 2 p.m. Saturday at ASU Stadium.
The Hornets are coming off a 17-12 win at Jackson State last Saturday and are in second place in the SWAC East behind Alcorn State.
Hornets head coach Brian Jenkins said the team’s turnaround shows the true quality of the players he inherited this season.
“Our guys have figured out the brand of football we want to play,” said Jenkins during Monday’s SWAC teleconference. “We were in all three games to start the season. We just couldn’t put a complete game together. These young men have stayed the course and have a lot of character.”
