Alabama State football is ready to play the biggest game of the season at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium when it takes on Jackson State in a clash for control of the East division in the SWAC.
In what figures to be a shootout, Alabama State has the SWAC’s best scoring offense followed by Jackson State at the No. 2 spot. In the NCAA’s HBCU power rankings, Jackson State reigned supreme at No. 1, while the Hornets trailed behind at No. 2. It’s no wonder why ESPNU decided to pick up the game for broadcast.

After Week 7, both teams only have one opponent on the remaining schedule with a winning record, making the stakes high with the winner likely punching its ticket to the SWAC championship game on Dec. 6. Alabama State hasn’t gone 4-1 since 2014, and the last time it did, it lost the next three games. The vibe feels different around this Alabama State football team under coach Eddie Robinson Jr. in his fourth year.
