Alabama State Wins Delay-Filled MEAC-SWAC Challenge

It took until the early hours of Sunday morning for Eddie Robinson to win his first game as a head coach. But finally, after three weather delays and an entertaining game, Alabama State came away with an impressive 23-13 win over Howard in the MEAC-SWAC Challenge.

Both offenses started slowly. Auburn transfer Dematrius Davis got the nod for the Hornets and but was unable to do anything with his first drive. Meanwhile the seasoned Quinton Williams made the start for Howard however, after his team jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, he tossed an errant pick to ASU defensive back Adrian Maddox.
