Jackson, MS - A preseason filled with much hype and many expectations for Jackson State's pass-happy offense started off oh-so sweet on Saturday with a 60-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Casey Therriault to Rico Richardson on the first play of a season-opening 42-2 victory over Concordia College.The rest of the afternoon - at least for that once high-powered, high-flying offense - was submerged by Tropical Storm Lee's whipping winds and driving rains, and stalled by familiar issues for this team: inefficient pass blocking and a lackluster run game.
"I think we can be a little bit crisper. I think we can execute a little bit better than we executed today," JSU coach Rick Comegy said. "This team has it in them, and we're going to get it out of them."
Therriault, one of the most prolific passers in the nation last year, completed 15 of 32 for 218 yards, his third fewest in one dozen games at Jackson State.
