True test of JSU's progress awaits

JACKSON, Mississippi -- The past three games offered Jackson State an opportunity to get right following the firing of Harold Jackson.

The next three games will present the Tigers a chance to show how far they’ve come since then.

JSU will host Alabama State at 6 p.m. Saturday at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium in the first of three consecutive games against teams that currently reside in the upper half of the SWAC standings.

Following this game, JSU (3-5, 3-3 SWAC) will have a bye week before facing Prairie View A&M, which currently sits in second place in the SWAC West. Then, the Tigers will host defending conference champion and current SWAC East leader Alcorn State.

But first things first. JSU will have a chance to move into second place in the East where it was projected to finish in the preseason with a win against the Hornets (4-4, 4-3).
