Alabama State did all of its first-quarter damage without completing a single pass. Hornets running back Khalid Thomas turned a 55-yard punt return into a 16-yard touchdown run on the very next play. Hornets quarterback Quinterris Toppings went 73 yards on a touchdown run. The Hornets had 89 total yards in the first quarter.

Alabama A&M running back Jordan Bentley did break through once on the ASU defense, going on a 22-yard run for a touchdown. It was Bentley’s longest rush of the day. Bentley came into Saturday’s game with 576 rushing yards, good for third in the SWAC.
