The Warhawks faced baptism by fire in week one against Kentucky. After a week off to study film from their matchup against one of the premier teams in the SEC, head coach Terry Bowden can get his team ready for Jackson State.
Saturday’s 6 p.m. matchup in Malone Stadium is the first ever meeting between these two programs.
Jackson State is led by NFL hall-of-famer Deion Sanders. The legendary defensive-back-turned-coach has led his team to a 2-0 start. After a defensive showcase earned his Tigers a 7-6 win against Florida A&M, his offense showed out versus Tennessee State in a 38-16 win.
