MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State's football team went through its final spring practice Thursday morning looking forward to the annual Black and Gold Spring game scheduled for Saturday at 1 p.m. at New Hornet Stadium.
While there will be a lot going on Saturday for the fans, there will also be a lot going on down on the field as it is a final time this spring the players will have a chance to make an impression with the coaching staff and on both sides of the ball there are going to be several areas the coaches will be paying attention to.
"On defense we are looking for guys to get lined up and do their assignments and we're looking for guys to swarm to the football," Defensive Coordinator Kevin Ramsey said. "We have had a great spring with a four deep, four different groups and all four of those groups will play Saturday and it will be fun to watch them run around."
The same can be said for the offensive side of the ball as a lot of players are going to get some playing time to give one last look to the offensive coaches this spring.
"Saturday is a fan day and we are going to be very generic in what we are going to do on offense," Offensive Coordinator Fred Kaiss said. "I have seen what I need to see. We are going to have a lot of guys playing and let them get more reps than they have all spring. I don't want to say it is a dress rehearsal because sometimes we are going to have some guys in there we are taking a look at and get them some live action. We are going to mix in a lot of guys in certain situations, but we are going to still do what we like to do."
The day will begin with Hornet Fest at noon. The fans are invited to come out to take part in Hornet Fest and then make their way over to the stadium where admission to the Black and Gold game is free.
