JACKSON, Mississippi -- After Zachary Pendleton finished his post-game interview and made his way out of the media room, he hugged coach Rick Comegy.It was Comegy’s way of praising the Jackson State wide receiver for his role in the Tigers’ conference-opening 30-23 against Alabama State on Saturday.
“He’s our go-to man,” Comegy said. “We already have him in that kind of (leadership) position. He knows we need him for big plays, and he stepped up.”
The Forest Hill High School graduate caught six passes for 177 yards, including a 56-yard touchdown to wake up the Tigers’ offense in a game it needed to win. After Week 2, the Tigers (1-1, 1-0 Southwestern Athletic Conference) seem to have found consistency, thanks in part to the reliable Pendleton.
