JACKSON, Mississippi -- Jackson State coach Rick Comegy isn't making any excuses for the way his team
started the season.
The Tigers dropped four of their first six games this season, giving up an
average of 34 points per contest. In the final of those losses, a 34--24 defeat
at Arkansas-Pine Bluff on October 6th, they allowed 21 points in the
second quarter alone.
But none of that matters anymore.
That game was the last one JSU dropped. Since then, it's reeled off
five-straight victories, including wins at Alabama State, against Mississippi
Valley State, at Grambling State, against Alabama A&M and at Alcorn State to
find themselves to earn a Southwestern Athletic Conference eastern division
crown.
The Tigers (7-4) will travel to Birmingham for Saturday's conference title
game in a rematch against the last team that beat them. Kickoff is scheduled for
noon at Legion Field and the game will be aired live on ESPNU.
