MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State finally had reason to rejoice.Nine days after losing their head coach, the Hornets won their first game of the season, 23-16, at winless Texas Southern last week.
“Those young men erupted,” ASU interim head coach Donald Hill-Eley said during Monday’s SWAC coaches teleconference.
“This was the first opportunity for them to get fruit from their labor of all the conditioning they’ve done since last year. They were very excited and I was excited for them.”
ASU started the season 0-5 after going 4-7 the previous season. Brian Jenkins, who came to ASU after winning 46 games in five seasons at Bethune-Cookman, was fired after losing 24-10 to Alcorn State at home on a Thursday night on ESPNU.
The Hornets went 10-17 in 2 1/2 seasons under Jenkins.
