Going into this season Jackson State was pegged by several to be a juggernaut. Landing the number one overall recruit in the country paired with the explosiveness we saw last fall had many believing that the #15 Tigers would be the top dog in the HBCU races this fall. On Sunday, though, JSU made it clear that they’re something even beyond that.
The Tigers dismantled Florida A&M in the annual Orange Blossom Classic. It was not shades of the 7-6 defensive battle that Jackson State had prevailed in a year ago. No, this game was an offensive and defensive clinic put on by Deion Sanders’ team.
