Jackson State Football: 3 Takeaways from dominant win over FAMU

Jackson State Football dominated the Florida A&M Rattlers in the second modern iteration of the Florida Blossom Classic.

In a game opposite its predecessor, the Jackson State Tigers dominated the Florida A&M Rattlers in the Florida Blossom Classic (insert official score here). This season, it was sunny in Miami Gardens, unlike the monsoon that ensued last season. JSU and FAMU sloshed around a rain-soaked Hard Rock Stadium a year ago, with the Tigers winning 7-6.

This season was the complete opposite. Jackson State dominated a shorthanded FAMU squad 59-3. While the defenses dominated last season, the Sheduer Sanders show was this year. Sanders completed his first 17 passes, including three touchdowns. The sophomore quarterback finished with 323 yards and five touchdowns.

The JSU defense was equally dominant, allowing 155 yards and a meager 1.0 yards per rush attempt. Rattlers’ starting quarterback Jeremy Moussa completed 11 passes for 102 yards, throwing two interceptions.

The Rattlers came into this game a bit shorthanded after eligibility issues coming into this season. FAMU did have defensive end Isaiah Land and offensive tackle Cam Covin for this game. They were not factors in this game as the Tigers dominated the Rattlers in the trenches.

Here are three takeaways from the game.
