BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The first unit that came to coach Rick Comegy’s mind after Jackson State’s 19-14 win against Southern was the special teams.
Despite Jackson State’s defense making key stops in the final minutes Saturday, Comegy highlighted the contributions that took place in the third phase of the game.
“Special teams, I thought, did a fine job in doing what they had to do, getting the ball kicked and doing whatever they could do to stop (the returns),” said Comegy, whose team improved to 3-2 overall and 3-0 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference. “Special teams really came through and did a good job.”
Freshman Darcy Williamson has bettered his punting accuracy.
Two of his four punts in Saturday’s game came in the fourth quarter. The first pinned Southern (2-3, 2-1 SWAC) inside its own 15-yard line, and the next punt was caught by Virgil Williams on their 25, but he was quickly tackled by Wesley Jackson.
