JACKSON, Mississippi -- Jackson State plans to end its two-game losing streak in the Southern Heritage Classic. The two sets of Tigers clash on Saturday at 6 p.m. in Memphis' Liberty Bowl for the 25th time.
Tennessee State has a slight edge in the series, winning 13 of the 24 meetings. Jackson State, however, has won its first two games under first-year coach Harold Jackson and is considered the better team on paper.
Mississippi Valley State at Alabama State, 5 p.m.: Senior Patrick Ivy has regained his starting quarterback position after a few weeks of alternating with Charles Davis. With Ivy under center, Valley (1-1) has the best chance of winning its SWAC opener in the Hornets' on-campus, $62 million stadium that opened two years ago.
"He's done a pretty good job for us," Delta Devils coach Rick Comegy said. "He throws the deep ball for us and puts the ball on the money."
Louisiana College at Alcorn State, 2 p.m.: Alcorn (1-1) has the perfect opponent to recover from its loss at Southern Miss when Louisiana College invades Spinks-Casem Stadium.
