Jackson State Notebook: Lineman back in lineup


Offensive lineman Terrael Williams, a 6-foot-8, 350-pound freshman, will return to the Tigers for their home game against Alabama State on Saturday after missing the past two games with a strained back.

"He will give us some some additional depth on the line," JSU coach Rick Comegy said Tuesday.

While Williams returns, Comegy said the Tigers are likely to be without tight end Cedric Dixon.

"Dixon had a tooth pulled last week and they want him out for five days," Comegy said. "We're going to miss Dixon in the game, but we think with what we plan on doing, it won't hurt us as much."

WHITE OUT THE VET

Officials with the Jackson State athletic department are asking that fans wear white to Saturday's home game against Alabama State.

Kickoff at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium is scheduled for 3 p.m.

The game time for Jackson State's Oct. 20 game against Grambling State has been changed to accommodate television. The game, scheduled for Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium, will be played at noon and will be broadcast on ESPN Classic. The game was originally scheduled for a 3 p.m. kickoff.
