JSU offense rebounds in final scrimmage

JACKSON, Mississippi -- When Jackson State’s defense piled up three sacks in the first five plays of Saturday’s scrimmage, it appeared a repeat of last week’s affair was in the cards.

JSU’s offense managed to land some counterpunches this time around, though.

Offensive coordinator Timmy Chang opened up the playbook a bit and the Tigers’ offense rebounded from last week’s lethargic performance with a solid effort on Saturday.

After last week’s scrimmage, Chang said he still hadn’t installed everything into the offense. This time, he came through with some new wrinkles, which mostly took advantage of the aggressive nature of the JSU defense.

“For us, we know they (the defense) are going to give us the hardest looks,” Chang said. “I just wanted to give the kids an opportunity to see what we could do countering a lot of those things they do. The kids did a good job of executing, but there’s still a lot of things we could get better at.”
