JACKSON, Mississippi -- In recent memory, Arkansas-Pine Bluff may be known as the heartbreaker for Jackson State.That overtime loss at the 2012 SWAC championship sure left a mark.
But that UAPB squad that went 10-2, 8-1 SWAC that year hasn't looked the same since. Last year, it had about 13 players who weren't cleared to play early on and finished 2-9, 2-7.
The Golden Lions are off to a rocky start at 1-2, 0-1, dropping its first conference game to Alabama State 42-7 last Thursday. Though expectations aren't high for them this year (projected to finish third in the West), the Lions return a face many Tiger players are familiar with – Ben Anderson.
The quarterback's 95-yard touchdown pass sent that 2012 title game to overtime.
Last year, in a back-and-forth match between the two teams, Anderson struggled in the passing game, going 16 for 33, but still put up 295 yards and two touchdowns.
Most of all, he's dangerous on his feet.D
