Albany State University releases 2022 football schedule

The Albany State University football team, under the direction of head coach Gabe Giardina, released its 2022 football schedule on Wednesday.

The Golden Rams will play a total of 10 football games, playing four home games in the ASU Coliseum, and six away games, including the Fountain City Classic.

“We are excited for our campus and the community to have another opportunity to support Golden Rams Football this year,” ASU athletic director Tony Duckworth said. “Football season is a time for celebration and reunion. It is our hope to see the community come out in large numbers to cheer on our student-athletes for what will be an exciting and challenging season.”

ASU’s first home game is against the Mississippi College Choctaws on Saturday, Sept. 3.

“I am excited to have our 2022 football schedule released,” Giardina said. “I greatly appreciate AD Duckworth’s tireless effort to help us secure such an exciting and competitive schedule. We are excited to renew an old rivalry with FAMU. Playing Gulf South Conference teams help us greatly in getting our team ready for SIAC play and potential seeding in the postseason.

“From a non-conference standpoint, we try to schedule games that that make it easy for our parents and Ram Nation to travel to so they can support us. Let’s fill the coliseum this season.”
