It is that time of the year again. Jackson State University and Tennessee State University will battle it out in the 22nd annual Southern Heritage Classic.
Last year the JSU Tigers managed to defeat TSU 33-26. This was JSU’s first win in seven years. Casey Therriault led JSU with 23 completed passes out of 38, a total of 284 yards and four touchdowns.
People are expecting a great game this year.
According to Zavien Magee, a sophomore Political Science major from Bass Field, Miss., “I think the game will be very jubilant and the outcome will be Jackson State prevailing over Tennessee State.”
“I’m expecting a great football game with Jackson State being the victor at the end”, said Perrin Bostic, a sophomore Healthcare Administration major from Little Rock, Arkansas.
Many people plan to attend this year’s classic.
Jennifer Livisay, a Junior Biology/Pre Med major from Memphis said, “I am definitely attending to see JSU and the Sonic Boom take the victory again.”
“I am going to the game and think Jackson State is going to win and have a victory”, said Bryant Steel, a Senior Business major from Philadelphia, Miss.
Some people like Andrekia Simmons plan to watch the game on television.
“I plan to watch it on television since I’m not going home,” said Simmons, a freshman Computer Engineering major from Memphis,Tenn.
Kickoff for the classic is set for September 10 at 6:00 p.m. at the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.
