Jackson State University played two-quarters of a four-quarter game. Jackson State played a nearly flawless first half. The defense did a great job despite issues with ball security on the defense. In life and in sports, the idea of competing at your best is always the first order of business.
I do applaud Jackson State University for going into the game with the right attitude. They were significant underdogs by all accounts since they had not won against an FBS school since 1941.
According to HBCUSI.com, this statement sums up the night.
“The Jackson State Tigers controlled the tempo of Louisiana-Monroe game with talent, speed, and confidence, but fell short of their goal to win.”
I was impressed the first half of the game, but was extremely disappointed with the turnovers that occurred in the second half. To, Lousiana Monroe’s credit, their kicker proved that having range in the kicking game can lead to wins in a tough defensive game. Four of Five field goals is a lot of pressure for a kicker and he handled it well. Jackson State needs to add that to their arsenal.
Coach Prime will use the loss as a teachable momemt.
