PINE BLUFF, ARK. — Rushing off the field following a convincing victory, a group of Jackson State assistant coaches pointed at a reporter and screamed: "We won this one," they said, "for Big Coach!"
With coach Rick Comegy absent from the sideline, Jackson State scored five unanswered touchdowns in the second half to rout Arkansas-Pine Bluff 52-30 Saturday, winning its first true road match of the season. Said running back Alfred Moreland: "It was all for Coach Comegy."
As sweet as the victory was, the Tigers still fell short of their ultimate goal - the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship game - when Alabama State beat Southern University later Saturday.

DE Robinson redeems himself in major way
PINE BLUFF, ARK. — Donavan Robinson had some making up to do. And Saturday, he did it. The JSU defensive end had nine tackles, two sacks and four tackles for loss in Jackson State's 52-30 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff, trying his best to wash away lingering thoughts of last week's flag that sealed the Tigers' loss at Alabama State. Said Robinson with a big smile: "I had to make up for last week." Consider it done.
Notebook: Pine Bluff WR Webber still has his day
Jalil Johnson and Jackson State's secondary tried their best to defend Arkansas-Pine Bluff's prolific receiver, Raymond Webber. Despite the 52-30 victory Saturday, they failed in slowing the 6-foot-3, 205-pound senior. Webber finished with 10 catches for 140 yards and drew two pass interference penalties. One thing missing from those stats? Touchdowns. He had none. And for Johnson and the rest of the JSU secondary, that was a plus.
"He's a good receiver," Johnson said, "but I felt like I am one of the best corners in the conference so I had to prove it."
