HUNTSVILLE, Ala. | The Alabama A&M University football team continues its two-game homestand as the Bulldogs welcome Tuskegee for the Bulldogs XXL Homecoming game on Saturday at Louis Crews Stadium. Kickoff against the Golden Tigers is set for 2 p.m.
Â
Alabama A&M (2-2) is coming off a thrilling 31-24 victory on Sept. 21 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff in Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) play. The Bulldogs got more than 300 yards passing from
Quincy Casey and connected on a 5-yard touchdown pass to
Barry White with just under eight minutes to play. A stripe sack by
Zareon Hayes as time expired lifted the Bulldogs to the win.
Casey was named the SWAC Offensive Player of the Week, while Hayes took home the defensive honor.
Â
Tuskegee (4-0) comes into the game off a 28-22 double-overtime win on Saturday. The Golden Lions have not dropped a regular season game since Sept. 10, 2022, a 42-10 loss at Hampton. Tuskegee's lone loss in between that stretch was in the SIAC Championship game, a 58-21 loss to Benedict on Nov. 12, 2022.
Â
The game will be streamed live on HBCU Go and fans can also listen live on WJAB (90.9 FM).
