JACKSON, Mississippi -- Alabama A&M's hopes for a repeat trip to the SWAC
Championship were erased Saturday afternoon in a 35-21 loss to Jackson
State.the Bulldogs, who opened the season with six consecutive wins, have dropped three of their last four games and stand 7-3 overall, 6-3 in the SWAC, with a season-finale at Auburn next Saturday at 1 p.m.
A&M needed to defeat Jackson State, then hope that Alabama State -- owner of the tie-breaker over A&M -- lost Saturday evening at Southern to win the SWAC East title.
Jackson State quarterback Clayton Moore riddled A&M with 233 yards of passing and he rushed for 54 more. Rakeem Sims gained 125 yards on 21 carries for Jackson (6-4, 6-2).
Alabama A&M senior quarterback Deaunte Mason had three touchdown passes, to Toriono Upshaw, Reshaad DeJarnett and Montarius Smith. However, he was only 17-for-40 and made a costly fumble that Jackson's Ryan Griffin returned for a 35-yard touchdown, giving the hosts a 28-7 lead in the third quarter that A&M couldn't overcome.
