The Turkey Day Classic, the opening game at New ASU Stadium against Tuskegee, will kickoff at 3 p.m. and also be shown live on ESPNU.
 
Currently, Alabama State will have three live nationally televised games on the ESPN family of networks. The Hornets' season-opening game in the 8^th MEAC/SWAC Challenge presented by Disney on Sept. 2 vs. Bethune-Cookman in Orlando, Fla. will be shown live at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN.
 
“When we recruit players, we tell them we will play at least one nationally televised game,” head coach Reggie Barlow said. “To have three games shown live is great notoriety and great opportunity for our guys to be seen around the country, as well as our program and Alabama State University. We're excited about that and looking forward to the opportunity to show our brand of football nationwide.”
