On Sunday, Alabama A&M and NC Central kick off their seasons in the Denny's Orange Blossom Classic in Miami Gardens.
This HBCU classic is the first-ever meeting between the two programs and should offer a ton of exciting football.
The Hornets are in Year 3 under Eddie Robinson Jr. and look to build off a 7-4 season. This season looks more promising than ever thanks to the addition of quarterback Andrew Body, who transferred from Texas Southern. He threw for 4,103 yards and 27 touchdowns while also running for 1,287 yards and 9 TDs on the ground.
The Eagles are in Year 5 under coach Trei Oliver and are coming off a 9-3 season that featured the program's first-ever bid to the NCAA FCS Playoffs. They have had back to back nine-win seasons and tend to perform well in openers under Oliver, going 3-1.
