Jackson State's incredible season came to a disappointing end on Saturday in the form of a 31–10 loss to South Carolina State in the Cricket Celebration Bowl. After the blowout loss, coach Deion Sanders took to Twitter with some final thoughts.
“Congratulations to South Carolina State for a incredible win in the Celebration Bowl,” Sanders said in a Tweet. “They flat out kicked our butts and we WILL learn from this and prayerfully return next year. God bless @SCStateAthletic.”
Sanders and Jackson State’s 2021 season saw them finish with an 11–2 record and a SWAC title—a significant improvement from its 4–3 finish in 2020.
