The Alabama A&M Bulldogs have announced their 2019 football schedule, which includes four home games and 12 games overall.
“We’re excited about the upcoming season’s football schedule,” Alabama A&M Director of Athletics Bryan Hicks said. “We believe it’s a good schedule that has several events that will be great experiences for our student-athletes and fans.”
