Euphoric JSU already laying groundwork for repeat in '08


The second Saturday in September seems so far away to Jackson State fans that it might as well have never happened. Winning a Southwestern Athletic Conference championship can do that to one's memory.

But coach Rick Comegy hasn't forgotten.

Four days after JSU beat Grambling State to win the SWAC title, Comegy called JSU's 16-13 loss to Tennessee State on Sept. 8 the turning point of the season.

"We were all carrying that cross," Comegy said. "We just got tired of crying."

The rest is written in the history books, where Jackson State now appears 16 times under the title "SWAC Champion" after a 10-year layoff.

After that loss to TSU saddled JSU with an 0-2 start, the Tigers started playing as a unit and won their next four games before losing to Grambling in a battle of conference unbeatens - a game that would be avenged with even more at stake in Birmingham, where JSU dominated for three of four quarters in the title game.

"It's like no other feeling when you say we want to be champs," Comegy said, "and then when it's all said and done, you are."

Rest of the Story

Oh so they won't opt out of the SCG to go to the playoffs next year?

Jackson State returns 11 starters, including six on defense. The top three tacklers, linebackers Marcellus Speaks, Malcolm Palmer and Marcus Jamison, are back for 2008.

Leading rusher Erik Haw returns for his senior season. A young offensive line that experienced its share of growing pains in 2007 will have plenty of snaps under its belt next season. Receivers Carlos Simpson and Rodney Gray should go from third and fourth options to the top two on the outside. Tight end Marcel Frost missed the season with an ankle injury but should be back as a senior next fall, along with possession receiver Kethonne McLaurin (shoulder).

The Tigers look strong in their top 22, but depth is what served the team so well en route to a title. Three different running backs were ready to carry the load. Five different receivers were legitimate threats. The offensive line rotated 9-10 players throughout a game. There were several interchangeable pieces on the defensive line and in the secondary.

Comegy is hoping to replenish the depth through recruiting.

The coaching staff plans to bring in three quarterbacks, including one junior college transfer and two freshmen. Comegy said the defensive line needs to fill holes left by Cory Clark and Daniel Brooks and the secondary needs some tweaking. He also said he plans to sign one or two running backs and five wide receivers.

"Kids are going to come now because we've won. We're going to get that 6-1, 190-pound guy who's looking at another school. We're going to snatch him up because he and his daddy watched it on TV. I'm confident we're going to get some fine, fine athletes. They want to go where winners are."

LET THE RELOADING PROCESS BEGIN!!!!

These folks have reverted to 3rd grade playground?. ?yall didn?t win?-ism. The psychological impacts of losing to Jackson need to be studied really.

Man, keep tryin to tell people (especially JR) that our second string could win the SWAC. We had transfers and guys like Giles who would have started for any other team riding the pine for the better part of two seasons. Our problem is penalties. If we cut our penalties in half, we would have beat everyone by 3 TD's.

TP you must be smoking that good stuff. Your first team barely won it. You had to win your last game in the regular season to even get to the SCG. At least GRAM had their spot already locked up before the BC. Stop acting like yall dominated folks or something.

Not really, we had to split our last two to make it...that is not a bad spot to be in AT ALL (Thanks MH).

Did I not SAY that penalties were our problem? We were a very dominant team but 100+ yards/game in penalties made us look about average. The only reason we had to win our last game was because of the penalties in the PV game. If not for that, we could have lost to Alcorn and still went. Did we beat Alcorn by 3 TDs? Probably so.
