Bethune-Cookman 38 Hornets 28 ORLANDO - The Alabama State football team lost the opening game of the 2012 season to Bethune-Cookman in the 8th MEAC-SWAC Challenge. Alabama State opened the season by taking the first drive of the season for a touchdown, marching 75 yards in 12 plays. Jenkins scored on a five-yard touchdown run to give the Hornets a 7-0 lead. Nick Martin recovered a muffed Bethune-Cookman punt at the 20yard line to set up the Hornets’ second score, a two-yard run by RB Isaiah Crowell to extend the lead to 14-0 with 4:28 to play in the first quarter. Alabama State scored early in the second quarter, quickly moving 72 yards in eight plays. Jenkins’ three-yard scoring run gave the Hornets a 21-0 lead with 13:45 to play in until halftime.
