FOUR-DOWN TERRITORY

1. Turkey Day: A Thanksgiving tradition continues in Montgomery as Alabama State hosts Edward Waters in the 94th Turkey Day Classic. The Hornets are coming off a 16-10 victory at Mississippi Valley State, their fourth win in five games and eighth straight win against the Delta Devils. Alabama State only gained 213 yards of total offense, but the Hornet defense held Mississippi Valley State to just 179 total yards with just 11 coming on the ground.

2. Turkey Day streak: The Hornets have won four straight Classics, two over Stillman and two over Miles. Last season, ASU used a 36-point third quarter to pull away in a 53-20 win against Miles. Alabama State's previous TDC loss came to Tuskegee in 2012, the first game played at ASU Stadium. The Hornets have won five of their last six homecoming contests.
