TSU’s ‘babies’ get set
for clash with JSU
NEW ORLEANS
Texas Southern University
has all the makings of being the
Cinderella story of 1996 in the
Southwestern Athletic Confer
ence. :
Despite a 20-18 setback to
Lane College on September 21,
the Tigers have surprised
nearly everyone by jumping out
of the starting blocks to an im
pressive 3-1 overall and 2-0 con
ference start, the team’s best
start since starting the 1992
season at 3-1 before finishing 5-
6. TSU has registered victories
over Prairie View A&M Uni
versity at home (42-24), Ala
bama State University cn the
road (10-3) and Sam Houston
State University on the road
(26-20).
Predicted to finish a distant
sixth place in the race for the
SWAC championship, the Ti
gers now sit atop the SWAC
standings at 2-0, alongside fel
low conference foes Alcorn State
University (2-0, 2-3 overall) and
Jackson State University (2-0,
4-0 overall).
On Saturday, the upstart TSU
Tigers will travel to Jackson,
Miss. for their biggest game in

period, but it took a missed extra
point to help them survive 21-20
against Howard. Jason Decuir

the top-ranked team in all of’
black college football .
“We're such a young football
team that I feel bad about tak-,
ing those babies into such a,
hostile environment,” said,
Texas Southern head coach Bill
Thomas. “We're still trying to
find our way. We have several
new starters and alot of redshirt
guys.”
Indeed, TSU’s journey to
Jackson will be in a hostile en
vironment as the Jackson State
Tigers will be aiming to build
upon a 12-game regular-sea
son win streak that began in
1994. At Memorial Stadium, J-
State has won 73 percent of its
games, compiling a record of
107-40-1, including a mark of
2-0 so far this season.
Ranked No.l among black
colleges and number six among
NCAA Division I-AA schools,
just how good is Jackson State?
“They’re well-coached and
they have skilled football play
ers who are real motivated,”
said Thomas.
