The Jaguars are hopeful they’ll make one more trip.
Southern (4-4, 4-2 Southwestern Athletic Conference) takes on the Tigers at 8 p.m. Friday night under the lights of BBVA Compass Stadium, the new home for TSU football and the MLS’ Houston Dynamo.
Both teams are coming off emotional overtime contests. Texas Southern (2-6, 2-5) prevailed 20-17 over Grambling. The thrill-a-minute Jaguars were unable to stage another come-from-behind victory, falling to Alcorn State 44-38 at homecoming.
The Tigers enter Saturday ranked in the bottom half of every major statistical category in the SWAC. Yet Texas Southern will present a challenge because of the defense’s ability to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks; one of the conference’s best punters; and quarterback Homer Causey, the kind of dual-threat quarterback that’s given the Jaguar defense trouble this season.
