All season long, no team has been able to stay with Jackson State on the gridiron. The Tigers offensive production has been off the charts in many categories and JSU was, not by coincidence, undefeated. That was all until Saturday afternoon, at least, until Deion Sanders’ team ran into MEAC champion NC Central. The last thing Coach Prime had to accomplish before leaving for Colorado was to hoist a Celebration Bowl trophy. The Eagles had other plans for his sendoff party, though, and rose to the occasion knocking off the Tigers in stunning fashion.
It was NC Central that delivered the first blow.
