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.
