Jackson State flattens Grambling, 53-17

GRAMBLING, Louisiana — Jackson State’s five-game losing streak to SWAC rival Grambling State is officially a thing of the past.

And it wasn’t even close.

JSU scored 32 unanswered points in the first half, Clayton Moore threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns and senior Rico Richardson had 115 receiving yards in a 53-17 victory today at Eddie G. Robinson Stadium.

“I’m just happy with the way the kids responded,” JSU coach Rick Comegy said. “I was just happy and pleased to see us come out here and not let a fired up Grambling team take it to us because they’ve been beating us for a quite a few years.”

JSU relished the opportunity to kick the host Tigers while they’re down. GSU fell to 1-8 overall and remained winless (0-7) in SWAC play.

JSU (5-4, 5-2 SWAC) hosts Alabama A&M (7-2, 6-2 SWAC) next Saturday in what will be a critical Eastern Division game. JSU can clinch the division with a win over the Bulldogs. The Tigers can still clinch the division with a loss if Alabama A&M loses one of its remaining games.
