Jackson State, meanwhile, “can light up the scoreboard,” having scored at least 41 points in four of its past five matchups. The Tigers hits the 50-point plateau twice this season, while clearing 40 points five other times.
Both teams have some injury questions, but Jackson State running back Irv Mulligan is expected to be good to go and he averaged 6.5 yards per carry this year on his way to 1,168 yards and 11 touchdowns.
