Resilient ASU Hornets make for interesting offseason

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- What was the lesson we were taught by Alabama State football in 2017?

Never count the Hornets out.

After a third consecutive winless start, this time at 0-5, the Hornets earned their way to the brink of a winning season.

Alabama State finished off its season with a 34-3 victory over Edward Waters (Fla.) in the 94th Turkey Day Classic on Thursday.

The 5-1 finish over the last six games this year will do for Hornet Nation what last year's 4-3 finish did: give everyone hope.

Has Hornets interim head coach Donald Hill-Eley earned the right to have the interim tag removed?

What's the new vision for Alabama State President Dr. Quinton Ross and interim ASU athletic director Jennifer Lynne Williams?

These are questions that will be answered in due time, but the Hornets have fought back each of the last three seasons no matter the coach or administration.
