Hogs open the year against UAPB on Thursday, Aug. 29. UAPB senior quarterback Mekhi Hagens to THV 11:
"[We] just gonna be ourselves, be UAPB, go out there and compete," Hagens said. "We're not gonna lay down just because they're SEC and we're SWAC. We bleed just like they bleed."
"Everybody thinks they can play in the SEC right? So we'll get a chance to go out there and put our guys on that stage and see who can perform. And we got about another 15 days to put this thing together, and then we're gonna see what the chips say," head coach Alonzo Hampton added.
