MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) --- Te'Sean Smoot threw for 271 yards and four touchdowns
to four different receivers, Marcus Harris II added a 50-yard touchdown run and
Alabama State beat Arkansas-Pine Bluff 44-13 on Saturday night to begin a

Alabama State (9-2, 7-1 SWAC) needed win and to have Jackson State lose on
Saturday to host the conference championship game on Dec. 6. But the Tigers
spoiled the party with a 27-21 victory over Alcorn State.
UAPB scored on the opening drive of the game but did not add to its total until
2:50 remaining in the third quarter to get within 30-13.
Smoot responded with two touchdown passes in the fourth, a 10-yarder to Manny
Thompson and a 26-yarder to Asa Gregg.
Andrew Abu-Akel made field goals of 24, 33 and 43 yards for Alabama State,
which was coming off a 41-3 win over Mississippi Valley State.
Jaylen Jennings led Arkansas-Pine Bluff (3-8, 2-6) with 133 yards rushing and a
touchdown in a season finale.
Alabama reached nine wins for the second time in program history, joining the
1935 team. The Hornets close the regular season with a nonconference game
against Tuskegee.
