Alabama A&M won’t make the SWAC title game this year, but it did its part to try to make sure its rival doesn’t either.

AAMU came up with a big second half to come away with a 27-10 win over Alabama State in the Magic City Classic in front of 65,907 fans.

Aqueel Glass threw for three touchdowns and Jordan Bentley ran for a 57 yard score to give the Bulldogs bragging rights over their rivals. Glass completed 17 of his 30 pass attempts for 322 yards and no interceptions in the win.
