Despite Alabama State’s 52-42 loss to UAB on Thursday evening, Andrew Body had a standout game that almost delivered his Hornets the upset. He completed 18 of 24 attempts for 312 yards and four touchdowns, while also adding 119 yards and one touchdown on 16 rushing attempts. Even when it seemed that UAB pulled ahead permanently, Body got the ball back and the Hornets had a chance.

Immediately following the game, he pulled Body in for a rather lengthy conversation. Per video secured by CBS 42’s Arielle Schafer, it appears that Dilfer told Body, “You’re one heck of a quarterback.”
