Lots of action in JSU's final scrimmage

Jackson, MS - This is what they came to see: Jackson State's pass-happy offense slinging completions and scoring touchdowns, the Tigers' defense sacking quarterbacks and causing turnovers. About 50 fans gathered Saturday for Jackson State's second and final scrimmage of fall camp. It didn't disappoint.

Quarterback Casey Therriault completed his first 12 passes, finished 13 of 16 for 202 yards and tossed two touchdowns.

It wasn't just offensive fireworks, though. CB Ryan Griffin, an incoming freshman, returned a bobbled option pitch 80 yards for a score. CB Anthony Johnson, seeing his first full speed action of camp, intercepted backup QB Dedric McDonald. The defense had three sacks and two tackles for loss, too.
