Alabama A&M Takes Three-Game Winning Streak to Prairie View A&M

THE HILL | The Alabama A&M University football team looks to extend its three-game winning streak on Saturday as the Bulldogs travel to Prairie View A&M for a Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. at Panther Stadium in Prairie View, Texas, with the game streaming live on SWAC TV.
 
Alabama A&M (7-2 overall, 4-1 SWAC) enters the contest after defeating Alabama State, 31-28, in the 85th Amazon Magic City Classic at Legion Field. The Bulldogs snapped a four-game losing streak against their rival while earning their third consecutive conference victory.
 
Cornelious Brown IV threw for 216 yards and two touchdowns and added a rushing score against the Hornets. Kolton Nero rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown, while DJ Barber led the defense with 13 tackles. Alabama A&M finished with 420 yards of total offense, including 204 rushing yards.
 
Prairie View A&M (4-5, 3-2) returns from an open week riding a two-game winning streak. The Panthers defeated Alcorn State, 41-38, before earning a 30-19 road victory over East Texas A&M on Oct. 24.
 
AAMU will seek to reverse a recent trend in the series, as Prairie View A&M has won the past five meetings, including a 48-5 victory last season in Huntsville.
 
Fans can watch live on SWAC TV as Butch Alsandor (play-by-play) and Jorge Vargas (analyst) have the call or listen on WJAB 90.9 FM. The Bulldogs' radio coverage features Chauncy Sanders handling play-by-play, Brian Howard serving as analyst and Maurice Brooks handling pregame and postgame duties.
