JSU vs FAMU Football 2023 Preview
The Tigers started their season off with a bang last week, handing SC State a 37-7 beat down. Jackson State quarterback Jason Brown went 26-of-31 for 356 yards and three touchdowns, spreading the ball around to eight different receivers.
New Jackson State head coach T.C. Taylor served as tight ends/receivers coach under former coach Deion Sanders for four years before getting promoted, and he has the team off to a hot start after Coach Prime’s departure.
“I was around him for two seasons, so I learned a lot from him. Picked his mind a lot,” Taylor said about Coach Sanders. “You’re talking about a guy with great knowledge, one of the best players to ever play and a hell of a football coach. [He’s] a two-time SWAC champion and has done a great job with this program. So I just want to continue that as the head coach here and continue those winning ways and try to finish the deal and get a Celebration Bowl.”
On the other side, Florida A&M finished its 2022 campaign with a 9-2 overall record, finishing 7-1 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. On offense, FAMU will be led by quarterback Jeremy Moussa, who threw for over 2,700 yards and 21 touchdowns last year.
The Rattlers averaged 25.6 points a game on offense while allowing 22.4 points per contest on the defensive side.
Florida A&M won its final nine games of the season last year, and FAMU head coach Willie Simmons is hoping that hot streak carries over. “So we’re gonna do some things a little differently, you know, not get too far away from who we are because we’ve been successful,” Simmons said. “We won nine games three years in a row now, so the formula is there. We just have to figure out how to maybe do what we’ve done at the end of the season, where we’ve had winning streaks, and get ready to do that the first game.”
Last year in the Orange Blossom Classic, the Tigers beat the Rattlers handily, 59-3. Jackson State is 12-7-1 in the all-time rivalry against FAMU.
