Jackson gives glimpse of future for Jackson State football

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Harold Jackson didn't show everything on Saturday.

But Jackson State's new head coach did give fans a glimpse of what the Tigers will look like under him this season, even if it was a vanilla version of it.

"We didn't mix up a whole lot of things and we didn't show a lot of stuff because we don't know who's out there on this field filming," Jackson said, adding that he held back both in aggressiveness and with play calling to try and keep fans guessing until the season opener against Florida A&M on Aug. 30.

Fans should expect pass-heavy formations under new offensive coordinator Timmy Chang, a former player and graduate assistant under run-and-shoot guru June Jones.

In Saturday's hour-long scrimmage, the white team threw for 186 yards and ran for 91 more.

"You'll see a little bit faster, a little bit quicker on the football field," Jackson said.
