Jackson State's running game will get a little help this weekend after a minus 29-yard rushing effort against Delta State in the season opener.
Erik Haw sat out the DSU game with a sprained ankle, but has returned to the practice field this week and said the injury feels better each day. He's on the travel list for this week's Tennessee State game and plans on playing.
He had nine rushing touchdowns and 371 rushing yards last season.
But the news isn't as good for running back Cody Hull, the senior transfer from Southern Miss. Hull continues to practice, but is still waiting on the NCAA for game clearence.
Jackson State assistant coach Greg Ruffin said the hold-up is over the interpretation of a transfer rule that was changed during the past year.
"It's very frustrating," he said. "Especially because it's only hurting Cody, who's done nothing wrong."
Hull graduated in four years from USM and said he is enrolled in graduate courses at Jackson State.
