What will JSU look like against Southern?

JACKSON, Mississippi -- We're headed into the seventh game of the season, and while we have clues, we don't know which Jackson State team will show up for Saturday's home tilt with Southern.

Will it be the Tigers who played Tennessee State and Grambling State tight on the road, or will it be the team that fell flat in last week's 33-7 loss to Tuskegee in Mobile?



"It’s a rivalry game," Southern coach Dawson Odums said Monday. "You can throw records out the window. I know their season is not going the way they’d like, but if you look at the film, it’s different. You don't know what to expect. You watch them against Tennessee State and Grambling, you see a completely different team than you saw against Tuskegee."

Odums and his club are preparing for the former, The team was within a score of winning three games before let downs against Prairie View A&M and Tuskegee.

They are preparing to face a different-looking offense under elevated co-offensive coordinator Derrick McCall — an offense that plays to its strengths, takes advantage of double teams and isn't afraid to take shots down the field.
