Jackson State's dramatic 21–17 win over Southern on Saturday did more than just secure a spot in the SWAC championship game for the Tigers for the first time since 2013—it provided a memory the Sanders family would remember for a long, long time.
Jackson State trailed, 17–7, with under six minutes to play before scoring two touchdowns on back-to-back possessions, the latter of which came on a 50-yard pass from Shedeur Sanders, the son of head coach Deion Sanders. After the play, the two shared a heartfelt moment on the sideline, with the elder Sanders telling his son he loved him repeatedly.
