They closed the gap to a single point with 2:42 remaining in the third on a Dakota Rocker six-yard touchdown pass to Kansas transfer Moses Marshall IV to trim the deficit to 15-14. The winning touchdown came when Rocker completed his second touchdown of the day on a 14-yard completion to
Larry Brown III.
Hanson finished with 18 points on the day for Alabama State.
"It was a good spring," Alabama State head coach
Donald Hill-Eley said. "We are able to establish some depth at some places and move some guys around to help in others. It was good to see our second team guys come out and push the first team today, and that bodes well for the fall. The biggest thing is that we came out of the spring without any major injuries."
