Jackson State living on the edge with close games

JACKSON, Mississippi  -- Jackson State coach Rick Comegy expects another tough one this weekend.

After a back-and-forth game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff last Saturday, Comegy said Mississippi Valley State will pose a similar threat this week.

MVSU (1-4, 1-2 Southwestern Athletic Conference) is coming off its first win of the season after spoiling Alabama A&M’s homecoming with a 28-9 win. That — along with the in-state rivalry — are part of why Comegy isn’t taking the Delta Devils lightly.

“When you go up there and you come out with a win against them (Alabama A&M), it shows the talent that Valley has,” Comegy said. “They come out each year and get stronger and better.

“You hope one day when you can play a game where they can sit back and have a cup of coffee. But that’s just not happening for us right now.”
