Can Coach Thomas make the immediate changes with a tough challenging schedule ahead?
The Alcorn Braves have a dilemma. Thursday's debut of the Coach Cedric Thomas era began with a 41-7 defeat at the hands of the UAB Blazers. Although the result wasn't shocking, however, it was how the Braves offense seemed out of character and disjointed. Despite being the first game, Coach Thomas knows they must immediately address their issues, especially at quarterback and coaching.
UAB's defense played a crucial role in the game, shutting down Alcorn State's offense to 177 total yards and forcing multiple turnovers.Coaching decisions and in-game adjustments could not turn the tide for Alcorn State."There's some things I gotta get fixed, and I will get fixed...Offense. That was probably one of the worst exhibitions I've seen. We'll get in the lab, and we'll get it fixed.
"We are going to use these two to kind of see where we at. But, I thought those guys, when the time presented itself, they kind of did what they could, but they got to be better. We gotta be better," Coach Thomas explained.
