JSU opponent preview: Mississippi Valley State

JACKSON, Mississippi -- This matchup wasn't short on emotions last year when Mississippi Valley State coach Rick Comegy, who coached at Jackson State the previous eight seasons, made his return to Jackson.

It also produced a stunning outcome, too, as the Delta Devils claimed their first victory against JSU since 1994.

It was only the sixth time MVSU had beaten the Tigers in 62 meetings between the two programs. The loss was one of the lowest points of JSU's 5-7 season, which was the first under coach Harold Jackson.

Emotions will likely be running high once again this fall, but both teams are different now. The core of JSU's team is another year older and Comegy is still trying to install a winning culture at MVSU.

The Tigers will likely keep all eyes on Delta Devils quarterback Quantavius Peterson, who showed some promise in 2014.
