JACKSON, Mississippi -- Bitterness was the prevailing taste of Jackson State’s 2014 season after the Tigers posted just their second losing record since 2006.Consecutive wins against Texas Southern and Alcorn State added a sprinkle of sweetness to last season, though.
JSU players have said they used those wins to build a foundation for this fall. The victories served as an infrastructure that will renew construction at 7:30 p.m. Thursday when the Tigers kick off the first practice of their fall camp.
Those triumphs also contributed to a better sense of team morale, which will be one of many storylines to keep an eye on during camp.
Same core, different attitude
The nucleus of last season’s team is back for JSU. On offense, quarterback LaMontiez Ivy returns, as do a deep receiving crew spearheaded by 1,000-yard receiver Daniel Williams, and All-SWAC lineman Markus Cook is back.
