JACKSON, Mississippi -- In a lot of ways, Earl Holmes and Harold Jackson's coaching careers mirror each other's.The two newcomers to college football head-coaching go head-to-head today when in the W.C Gorden Classic. Holmes is in his second season at FAMU, while Jackson is in his first season as the Tigers' head coach.
The two teams are meeting for the first since FAMU defeated JSU 11 years ago in the Circle City Classic. Their reunion takes place at Veteran Stadium in Jackson, Miss.
Like Holmes, Jackson will put his offense in the hands of a quarterback who is coming off a season-ending injury as his starter today.
Quarterback La Montiez Ivy will be making his second career start after a season-ending legs injury in the Tigers' first game last year. FAMU's starter Damien Fleming also is coming off a foot injury that ended his 2013 season with two games left.
