JACKSON, Mississippi — It was not the prettiest of sights, but the Alabama State Hornets were able to escape a rain-soaked Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium for a 17-12 win over Jackson State.“It was a good win, it was a sloppy game and it was good to see both teams be resilient and give their everything, but a win is a win and we’ll take it,” said Hornets head coach Brian Jenkins. “On a night like this with the weather being the way it is I think our guys answered the bell many times. Our guys always kept the faith and kept going and found a way to finish it.”
JSU (3-6, 3-3 SWAC) came into the game with the league’s top passing game, and the Hornets were able to keep the Tigers at a minimum only allowing 133 yards passing, more than 200 yards below their average.
In fact, the Hornets (5-4, 5-3) may have turned in their best outing of the season holding JSU to 230 total yards of offense.
