Dawn of a new era for Delaware State football
DOVER, Delaware -- The Delaware State football team was up with the rising sun Saturday inside Alumni Stadium.
With their first game under new coach Kenny Carter a week away, the Hornets can’t wait to get started.
The same could be said for Saturday’s crack-of-dawn practice, even though alarms had to be set early.
“That’s what you want to do,” said senior safety Terrick Colston, who woke at 4:30 a.m. for the 6 a.m. session, referring to the Hornets’ willingness to work. “I was one of the first ones in there, too.”
Delaware State has more difficult challenges ahead than wee-hours wakeups.
Liberty, which DSU visits Saturday night in Lynchburg, Virginia, is ranked No. 15 nationally in FCS.

The Hornets and Tigers will meet on The Plains on November 17, 2018
MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Talk about providing a boost to its athletic budget.
Montgomery Advertiser confirmed through an Auburn spokesperson that Alabama State is scheduled to receive $515,000 to play at Auburn in 2018 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. For the 2013-14 academic year, ASU reported to the U.S. Department of Education it spent $2,803,620 on football and made the exact same amount from Oct. 1, 2013 to Sept. 30, 2014.
The school also reported it spent $1,068,488 on the salaries of all head coaches, a total of $565,820 on operating expenses for football games (football scholarships) and $278,709 for recruiting expenses for all men's and women's sports in 2013-14.
In 60 minutes of football, ASU is about to make nearly twice as much money than it spent on recruiting for all its sports in 2013-14.
ASU president Dr. Gwendolyn Boyd and interim athletic director Melvin Hines, an Auburn graduate and former player for the Tigers, signed the contract for the 2018 Auburn game July 30 and Auburn AD Jay Jacobs signed it Aug. 20. My suggestion for Auburn fans is to stick around for halftime of that one.

JSU Tigers’ Cook settling in at center
JACKSON, Mississippi -- Off the field, Jackson State junior center Markus Cook has spent enough time studying to compile a 3.3 grade-point average as a special education major.On the field, Cook, who has hopes of becoming a coach someday, has to put in his fair share of studying, too. He’s had to learn defensive fronts and tendencies, protection calls and the rest of his fellow linemen’s assignments.
It’s that kind of preparation that has turned Cook into one of the more steady presences along the Tigers’ offensive line during the first few weeks of practice.
“His consistency through camp (stood out), there was a good battle between he and Alem (Amores at center) but he’s been the more consistent guy making calls …,” offensive line coach Steven Aycock said.
