This Saturday, the Jackson State University Tigers will be heading to Shreveport, La. to go head to head against the Prairie View A&M Panthers.
Fresh from their cancelled homecoming game due to the forfeiture of the Grambling State Tigers, the Tigers are ready for another victory.
With the dominant Tigers still undefeated in the Southwestern Athletic Conference(SWAC) at 6-0, they will meet the Panthers whose record stands at 4-2 in the conference and 5-3 overall. Despite the record, this is predicted to be a tough game as prior to their loss against Alabama State, the Panthers had a three game win streak and afterwards won their last game when they demolished the competitive Delta Devils of Mississippi Valley State University with 51-14.
In 2012, the Tigers defeated the Panthers at the Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson, Miss. with the score of 34-13. According to statistics from ESPN.com, the major players who were called upon were running back, Tommy Gooden who finished 135 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown, Dietric McDonald who had 63 yards, Defensive End, Willie Bell who recovered a fumble from Prairie View’s kicker, which lead to their victory.
Tiger Football fans will be able to catch the game on Saturday, Oct. 26th at 3 p.m. until the end via streaming at 10.14.12.245 by JSU’s Tiger Sports Network. A live chat will also be available.
