Tigers Coach T.C. Taylor has Jackson State doing some impressive things since taking over for Coach Prime. Wire to wire, this has been the best team in the SWAC all season long and have dominated on both sides of the ball.

Both defenses have got it going big-time. Jax State's has yielded 54 points in the last five outings, with a high of 17. Southern's has allowed 33 points in its last three games. In the regular season meeting, the teams landed under this figure with 48 scored, and Southern was fortunate to tally 15. The Jaguars were limited to 198 yards on offense. With other sportsbooks listing the total in the 40s, this figure has value.
