Football Opens SWAC Play At Alabama A&M: Get Info On How To Listen Live

9/6/2019 8:10:00 AM

The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff and Alabama A&M will open Southwestern Athletic Conference football play Saturday when they faceoff at Louis Crews Stadium at 6 p.m.

HOW TO LISTEN, ATTEND:
The Golden Lions (0-1) had a focused week of preparation as they get set to face the Bulldogs (1-0). UAPB will play its second straight road game after last week's season-opening loss at TCU which the Golden Lions battled tough four quarters in a 39-7 defeat.

"I thought they were really locked in, and really in tuned to the details," UAPB head coach Cedric Thomas said. "We're going against a high-powered offense and a really good defense, so we have to be well prepared. They had a great week. They were locked in. Now, we have to just carry it over. I'm really pleased with the overall preparation."

The Golden Lions will look to open SWAC play with a win for the first time since 2017, a 34-27 overtime win at Jackson State. The SWAC's Western Division has traditionally been one with little margin for error, as the division champ has been undefeated or only had one loss since 2014.

"We're trying to make sure we start off on the right foot," Thomas said. "We want to give ourselves all the advantages on this Western side, because we know how competitive it is. We have a really good opponent this week that will be primed and ready. We want to get off to a good start and play Pine Bluff football, which is strong, tough, and with a mental edge. If we do that, the outcome will take care of itself."
