Jackson State is without Deion Sanders on the sideline, and they find the endzone as Desmond Moultrie sheds off would-be tacklers for the touchdown to make it 7-7.

Mid-second quarter, the Tigers’ offense just past midfield, Jason Brown buys some time then hits Rico Powers. Rodney Johnson misses the tackle and Powers is gone for the score. Jackson State takes a 13-7 lead.
