It was a classic comeback. In the 10th annual John Merritt Classic, Tennessee State spotted Southern an 11-point lead before Antonio Heffner led the furious rally for the Tigers, who claimed a 34-32 win over Southern. An LP Field crowd of 28,830, the second-largest ever to attend the John Merritt Classic, saw TSU's offense keep the Tigers in the game long enough for the defense to finally stall the Jaguars.
After Southern took an 18-7 lead midway into the third quarter, Antonio Heffner led TSU's comeback by tossing three touchdowns in the quarters. Heffner then gave running back Javarris Williams the ball and Williams ran for two fourth-quarter scores to give the Tigers 34 points in the second half.
