JACKSON, Mississippi -- Christian Jacquemin isn't about to let one missed field goal define his junior season.
And that's good, because with points coming at a premium in its first two games, Jackson State can't afford it.
The Tiger kicker rode a roller coaster of emotions in Saturday night's 17-15 loss to Tennessee State. He hit a 34-yard field goal on Jackson State's second drive of the game, then drilled a 49-yard field goal to end the first half, missing the school record by one yard.
He even hit a 48-yarder that would have won the game (and would have been good from 60), if not for a Tennessee State timeout just before the snap. But when he booted his second attempt, it missed wide left by six inches.
Jacquemin went to one knee with his head in his hand. Defensive coordinator John Hendrick placed his hand on his shoulder and tried to console him.
It was brutal.
