JACKSON, Mississippi -- LaMontiez Ivy ranks in the top 10 in the FCS in passing yards, passing yards per game and passing touchdowns.Ivy has been sacked 11 times through three games this season and leads Jackson State in carries with 30.
After Ivy took quite a few hits against Southern on Saturday, coach Harold Jackson wants his quarterback to do a better job of protecting his body.
“I keep telling him, he’s got to be smarter than what he’s been playing,” Jackson said. “When the (play) is (not there), you have to go down. And he realizes he’s got to go down instead of taking that beating. I know he feels he’s a big guy and all that, but big guys take a beating also.”
Ivy, who is listed at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, contends he’s just trying to make something happen during those plays, but agreed with his coach.
