Stopping Anderson main focus for JSU defense

JACKSON, Mississippi  -- When linebacker Ted Terrell was a freshman playing in the SWAC title game in 2012, he faced Arkansas-Pine Bluff quarterback Ben Anderson.

Two years later, after watching film on UAPB this past week, Terrell didn't notice much change in the stud signal caller.

But there was one difference in the Lions' offense that the Tigers hope to take advantage of in Saturday's game.

"One thing I can say about him now is that he doesn't have as many choices as he did then with his receivers," Terrell said.

In 2012 championship game, Anderson spread the ball, hitting six different receivers for 225 passing yards, en route to the 24-21 victory.

The Lions (1-2, 0-1 SWAC) do return Isiah Ferguson and Willie Young from that game. But both missed much of the 2013 season because they weren't cleared. Three games into the season, both seem to be working their way back to consistency.
