MONTGOMERY, Alabama --Alabama State is playing a SWAC opponent in the 2018 Turkey Day Classic.Having traditionally played a non-conference opponent for that game, the Hornets will play Mississippi Valley State on Thanksgiving Day.
“It should be better attended as a more viable opponent since it is a conference game late in the season,” ASU coach Donald Hill-Eley in a news release.
Season tickets go on sale online Sunday and will be available at the ASU Stadium’s ticket office Monday. The Hornets open the 2018 season September 1 against rival Tuskegee followed by three consecutive road games against Auburn, Kennesaw State and two-time defending SWAC champion Grambling.
The Hornets, who finished 5-6 last season, play just four home games this season.
“Our work is cut out for us to start the season, it is a champions test for the first month,” said Hill-Eley as Kennesaw State (Big South) and Tuskegee (SIAC) won their respective conference title games last year while Auburn won the SEC West.
