A Football Game Like No Other: Gulf Coast Challenge kicks off this weekend (Video)

MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG ) — For decades, Mobile has hosted football games at Ladd-Peebles Stadium featuring Historically Black Colleges and Universities. It’s now known as the Gulf Coast Challenge, and for the first time, thanks to Covid, the game will be played in the spring and will feature an HBCU against an in-state school.

It’s the battle of the Tigers: The University of West Alabama and Savannah State University will go head-to-head right here on Saturday. Organizers are hoping to keep this ultimate HBCU experience on the Gulf Coast.
