Quarterback position is Ivy's job to lose

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama --The last few years, quarterback battles were among the top storylines for Jackson State in the fall.

But not this time.

Coach Harold Jackson brought LaMontiez Ivy to SWAC media day on Friday in Birmingham, and that was enough to hint Ivy was the leading man under center.

He made it clear during interviews.

"You know what, he was the starting quarterback for us last season before he got hurt," Jackson said. "And I don't think no body loses a job because of injury. ... When we go back, that's his job to lose."

Ivy suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the first game of the 2013 season and couldn't fully participate in spring practices.
