Jackson State climbs into the Top 10 FCS Coaches and Stats Perform Polls in Week 5.

On Saturday, the Tigers subdued the Delta Devils with a splash of "Holy Water of Pure Dominance" in their 49-7 win at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson, MS.

Shedeur Sanders repeats from Week 4 as the Southwestern Athletic Conference's Player of the Week. He shares the honor with the Alcorn Braves newcomer and running back terror, Jarveon Howard.

Sanders completed his career-high day by completing 40-of-51 passing attempts for 438 yards and 4 TDs.
