Jenkins, ASU must match fan challenge with wins

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Brian Jenkins knew fans were going to pack ASU Stadium for the Sept. 2 Tuskegee game.

That was a given.

What Jenkins wants is fans to show up in full force every time Alabama State plays at home.

“I’m excited about having that first game packed out, packed to the roof,” Jenkins said the Wednesday before playing the Golden Tigers. “Standing room only, but I think every game should be like that and that’s what I want to challenge our fans to make every game like that.”

A win Saturday against Kennesaw State (1-1) would go a long away in convincing fans to come out and see the hometown Hornets (0-2).

Another 0-3 start for a third straight season under Jenkins won’t.

Fans will show up for SWAC opener Sept. 23 against Prairie View A&M, but more will make their way to ASU Stadium if the Hornets prevail Saturday.
