The Louis Crews Classic has become a staple for Bulldog fans as the annual game begins the home football slate and this year, Alabama A&M will play host to Kentucky State.
The game concludes a weekend-long celebration of the former AAMU head coach, who roamed the sidelines from 1959-1976 and amassed a remarkable 110-61-3 record during his time on The Hill.
In 2010, Alabama A&M created the Annual Louis Crews Classic to honor the contributions made by Louis Crews and his family to the institution. In the 13 previous games held, the Bulldogs are 9-4 in the annual classic.
The celebration of AAMU athletics and legendary coach Louis Crews will feature former players to commemorate the event.
