Game preview: Alabama State vs. Stillman

FOUR-DOWN TERRITORY
1 First one: Alabama State picked up its first road win with a 37-23 victory at Grambling.
“What better way against the No. 1 team that was in HBCU at the time,” ASU coach Reggie Barlow said. “Just a great, great, great thing for our guys, and I’m proud of them for that.” The Hornets were 0-5 on the road with one of those losses coming against Alabama A&M in the Magic City Classic in Birmingham.”
2 Record chaser: Senior tailback Malcolm Cyrus is 206 yards shy of breaking the Alabama State single-season record for rushing yards set by Brad Baxter in 1986 with 1,705 yards on 302 carries. “I think these guys want to make that happen for him,” Barlow said. Cyrus has 1,500 yards and nine touchdowns on 237 carries. “It’s pretty remarkable. I don’t think it could happen to a better guy.”
