Alabama A&M 31比28险胜Alabama State：终结对手经典赛四连胜
Alabama A&M 10月31日在阿拉巴马州 Birmingham 的 Legion Field 以31比28险胜 Alabama State，赢下第85届 Magic City Classic（魔力城经典赛）：这场阿拉巴马州规模最大的 HBCU 宿敌战，直到最后几分钟才分出胜负。
Alabama A&M 开局以一波12攻94码的推进打开局面，四分卫 Cornelious Brown IV 先以6码达阵传球连线 Jaylan Bean，再以8码传球找到 Imari Conley，主队14比0领先。Alabama State 第二节靠 Jareese Howard 在四档2码时的17码冲球达阵还以颜色，半场比分为14比7。
下半场两队对攻，Howard 全场三次达阵：他末节的第三次达阵——由 Daionte Hicks 一次长距离开球回攻把球送到对手10码线内后完成——在剩3分01秒时把比分追成31比28。
Alabama State 最后时刻逼出对手弃踢，在剩1分37秒、握有两个暂停时从对方43码线反攻，但四分卫 Aaron Frye 的四档传球在剩1分10秒时落空，Alabama A&M 跪地耗完时间。此胜终结了 Alabama State 在这项经典赛的四连胜，是 Alabama A&M 自2021年秋以来首次赢下经典赛；A&M 战绩升至7胜2负（SWAC 4胜1负），Alabama State 落至4胜4负（联盟2胜3负）。（据 Montgomery Advertiser 与 Birmingham Free Press 赛报）
Alabama A&M Edge Alabama State 31-28 in the Magic City Classic, Ending the Hornets' Four-Year Run
Alabama A&M edged Alabama State 31-28 on October 31 at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, in the 85th Magic City Classic, a rivalry meeting between the state's two largest HBCU programs that was not decided until the final minutes.
Alabama A&M opened with a 12-play, 94-yard drive capped by Cornelious Brown IV's 6-yard touchdown pass to Jaylan Bean, then led 14-0 on Brown's 8-yard pass to Imari Conley. Alabama State answered on Jareese Howard's 17-yard run on fourth-and-2 in the second quarter, and the Bulldogs led 14-7 at halftime.
Howard scored three touchdowns in all. His third, set up by Daionte Hicks' big kickoff return to inside the Alabama A&M 10, made it 31-28 with 3:01 left in the fourth quarter.
Alabama State forced a punt and got the ball back at the A&M 43 with 1:37 left and two timeouts, but Aaron Frye's fourth-down pass fell incomplete with 1:10 remaining and Alabama A&M kneeled out the win. The result ended Alabama State's four-game winning streak in the Classic and gave A&M its first Classic win since fall 2021. A&M improved to 7-2 and 4-1 in the SWAC; Alabama State fell to 4-4 and 2-3 in league play. (Reporting from the Montgomery Advertiser and Birmingham Free Press)
