Which is better? Magic City Classic or Turkey Day Classic? Alabama State football fans decide.
Alabama State football (5-2, 3-1) is used to playing its toughest matchups this season away from ASU Stadium. The trip on Saturday, Nov. 1 to Blackshear Field to take on the SWAC West’s best team through Week 10 in Prairie View A&M (6-2, 4-0) is no different from the rest.
The Hornets are coming of a 56-13 thrashing of Alabama A&M as a part of the Magic City Classic in Birmingham, and with the news of Jackson State getting upset to Grambling State in the same week, opens the doors for Alabama State to have a shot at the SWAC East.
