With the homecoming game this Saturday, the Jackson State University Blue Bengals are coming off an impressive win over Texas Southern 58-13. The Tigers played an oustanding game last Thursday on ESPNU in front of a crowd of over 26,000.
“I hope we play like this on homecoming,” said Thomas Hill, a business major from Atlanta, Ga.
Quarterback Casey Therriault had an impressive game going 15 out of 27 for 300 yards and three touchdowns.
Last year, JSU demolished the Golden Lions of theUniversity of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, 52-30.
“If JSU plays like they did against Texas Southern and is consistent on offense we will win our homecoming game and the rest of our games this season,” said Charles Edward Cleave.
Therriault threw for 331 yards last year against UAPB, and the offense combined for a total of 560 yards.
With homecoming there is always a time for fun, good food, games, and music.
“I always tailgate for the homecoming games,” said Alexis Morris, a JSU graduate.
JSU finance professor, Larry Day, from Jackson, Miss., believes the Tigers can assure a victory by controlling the ball.
“They need to make sure they don’t have too many turnovers; they’ve been turning the ball over a lot lately,” he said .
The JSU football team competes this Saturday against UAPB. Kick-off is set for 4 p.m. at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium.
