OPENING KICK

• Jackson State and Alabama A&M have met 28 times in school history with Jackson State leading the series 16-12, including 7-6 at home. The Tigers have also won three of the four meetings at a neutral site.
• Jackson State has won the last four meetings between the two teams, including the last three that have been played in Mobile.
• Ahmad Miller turned in the second-best rushing performance of the season against Hampton in the season opener with 180 yards against Hampton. He was even with Joshua Dye of Southern Utah, while Eastern Illinois quarterback Cole LaCrue rushed for nation's best 193 yards. He followed that up with another 100-yard rushing performance against Southern in his last outing - rushing for 101 - after seeing limited action against Tuskegee and leads the nation in yards per carry.
• After sitting out against Tuskegee and having two weeks off, JaCobian Morgan responded with 337 yards through the air and a pair of touchdowns against Southern in the Tigers' last outing.  He was named the SWAC Offensive Player of the Week and HBCU National co-Player of the Week.
• Jackson State was named the FCS HBCU National Team of the Week after its win over Southern  after racking up over 500 yards of total offense and outscoring Southern 28-0 over the final 30:05 of the game.
• The Tigers had three receivers rack up 90-plus yards in the win over Southern led by Nate Rembert with 102 yards on five receptions. He was joined by Jameel Gardner Jr. with seven receptions for 96 yards and Ja'Naylon Dupree with 93 yards on five receptions. Both Rembert and Dupree had touchdown receptions in the win.
• Kam Sallis recorded his first career interception at Jackson State on the goal line to end a Southern threat, leading to the longest scoring drive of the season for the Tigers to close the half. Jackson State went 97 yards to end the half with a 51-yard touchdown reception from Dupree with just five seconds remaining.
• 350 days... that was the span between losses for Jackson State following the game at Southern Miss on Saturday [Sept. 6]. Prior to that game, Jackson State last loss on Sept. 21, 2024 on the road before reeling off 10 consecutive victories to close out 2024 and extended the streak to 11 after the 2025 season opener. Although the winning streak may be over for consecutive wins, they maintain the 11-game streak against FCS opponents.

SALLIS NAMED AENEAS WILLIAMS AWARD HBCU DEFENSIVE BACK OF THE WEEK
Jackson State redshirt sophomore defensive back Kam Sallis was named this week's Aeneas Williams Award HBCU Defensive Back of the Week after his performance against Southern on the road Saturday night. Sallis finished the game with five tackles including three solo stops and a game-altering interception in the first half near the end of the first half that led to a 97-yard scoring drive by the Tigers to close out the half, and led to a 38-13 Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) victory.

MORGAN NAMED SWAC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK & HBCU CO-PLAYER OF THE WEEL
JaCobian Morgan was named the SWAC Offensive and HBCU National co-Player of the Week after leading Jackson State to a 38-13 victory over Southern. Morgan finished with 337 yards passing with two touchdowns and no interceptions.

BACK-TO-BACK 500-YARD PERFORMANCES
Jackson State racked up 522 yards of total offense, the most since a win over Mississippi Valley State in 2022, against Tuskegee. They answered that with 534 yards against Southern to top the previous mark from the prior game.

DEFENSE DOESN'T ALLOW MUCH AGAINST TUSKEGEE
Jackson State pitched its first shutout under head coach T.C. Taylor in a 30-0 victory over Tuskegee at the W.C. Gorden Classic, and it was also the first shutout since 2022 against Southern [Oct. 29]. The Tigers held Tuskegee to just seven first downs in the win and 24 yards rushing on 20 carries. The Golden Tigers barely made it over 100 yards of total offense, finishing with 109 yards on 40 plays. The most glaring stat of the day is that Tuskegee made it past the 50-yards line just two times, with one of those coming courtesy of a personal foul.
