JACKSON, Mississippi -- Jackson State's home opener is considered a reunion.The winless Tigers (0-3, 0-1) entertain Texas Southern at 6 p.m. Saturday night at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Texas Southern is coached by former Jackson State quarterback Darrell Asberry. John Shannon, a former Biloxi High school coach, is a former offensive coordinator at Jackson State.
Asberry, Jackson State's MVP in 1994, downplayed his return to the state's Capitol. Asberry is in his fifth year as Texas Southern's coach.
"The first couple of years it did affect me, but now it's just another game for us," Asberry said in a Teleconference call. In a hostile environment, we need to execute and play well."
Jackson State coach Harold Jackson has a simple solution for the Tigers.
