Takeaways from Jackson State's second spring scrimmage

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Jackson State wrapped up its second spring scrimmage Monday morning before the rest of campus could wipe the sleep from its eyes.

The Tigers got started at 5 a.m. and fit more than 20 possessions into the two-and-a-half hour practice, and head coach Tony Hughes said he was pleased with the effort.
