JACKSON, Mississippi -- Alabama A&M coach James Spady admitted he doesn’t know what to expect from Jackson State, now under the leadership of interim coach Derrick McCall, when the two teams meet this Saturday.

“You have to prepare for it like it’s a first-game (of the season) scenario and that leaves you uncomfortable a bit,” Spady said.

“I don’t know what their (the Tigers’) focus will be.”

At his first news conference in front of the local media Monday, McCall spoke on what his focus is: addressing the concerns that have led JSU to a 1-4 start.

McCall is inheriting a team has been outscored by 22.6 points per game. The offense has been inconsistent at times, but the main issue is a defense that has allowed 48.8 points per game, which is the third highest total in FCS, and has given up 50 points or more three times this season.
