Alabama State at Southern



Alabama State shut down Southern's ground game and cruised to a 30-17 win at Legion Field, with Andrew Body accounting for a touchdown through the air. The Hornets' defense held Southern to just 161 rushing yards while Alabama State found balance between Body's passing and Jamarie Hostzclaw's ground work. Christian Johnson kept Southern competitive with 174 passing yards and a rushing touchdown, but the Jaguars couldn't overcome a turnover-free performance from the home team.
Alabama State's defense set the tone early, forcing Southern into tough situations throughout the afternoon.
Andrew Body orchestrated the Hornets' offense efficiently, connecting on 14 of 23 passes for 192 yards and a touchdown, while Jamarie Hostzclaw carried 15 times for 49 yards and another score on the ground.
Southern's inability to move the chains showed up in the statistics: four third-down misses and a pair of fourth-down failures gave Alabama State more chances to control the clock and territory.
The Alabama State are up next home vs Mississippi Valley State (Sep 26), then at Bethune-Cookman. The Southern are up next at Jackson State (Sep 26).
