Jackson State runs past Texas Southern, stays unbeaten in SWAC play

JACKSON, Mississippi  -- So much for needing a passing attack.

Jackson State scored solely with runs on Thursday en route to a 35-7 victory against Texas Southern, keeping the Tigers perfect in Southwestern Athletic Conference play.

“It doesn‘t matter who we play, as long as we execute our offense,” JSU quarterback Clayton Moore said.

The biggest issue JSU has had in executing its offense has been limiting turnovers. Against Texas Southern, the Tigers played relatively clean football.



Coming off a four-interception performance, Moore did not throw a pick in his 16 attempts. But that’s what happens when you don’t throw the ball as much. Jackson State had more rushing yards than passing yards, finishing the night with 214 yards on the ground compared to 81 in the air.
