2001 Alabama State Hornets football team

The 2001 Alabama State Hornets football team represented Alabama State University as a member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) during the 2001 NCAA Division I-AA football season. Led by second-year head coach L. C. Cole, the Hornets compiled an overall record of 8–4, with a mark of 6–1 in conference play, finished as SWAC East Division champion, and lost to Grambling State in the SWAC Championship Game. In December 2009, the NCAA ruled Alabama State to forfeit all victories from the 2001 season and this resulted in an official record of 0–12.[1]
