Jackson State Tigers host the Alabama State Hornets for a SWAC Homecoming affair in Jackson, Mississippi.

Alabama State's defense appeared shaky allowing Jackson State's opening drive to look easy.  Shedeur Sanders located WR Corbin in the endzone for a 21-yard touchdown strike.

The Hornets continued to pressure the Tigers offensive line for a pair of sacks on Sanders and a number of QB hurries.  

Crawley led the Hornets on a 5 play, 63 yard touchdown drive in 2:01 minutes to even the score at 7-7.

JSU could not move the football and the score at halftime is 7-7.
