Alabama State hosts Lane College for Labor Day Classic football game
Summary

Alabama State prepares to host Division II opponent Lane College at ASU Stadium for the Labor Day Classic this Saturday. The Hornets enter the matchup with a 1-0 record following a 30-17 win against Southern in the Birmingham Classic. While the team secured a victory in its season opener, the coaching staff seeks a more consistent offensive performance ahead of a Week 2 meeting with Troy. Analysts anticipate quarterback Andrew Body will lead the passing attack, while the defense aims to generate turnovers against the visiting team. Lane College travels to Montgomery following a recent loss to a Division III program. This home opener provides Alabama State with an opportunity to establish momentum in the passing game and test its depth at the running back position before facing an FBS opponent next week.
