It is back-to-back SWAC Championships and Celebration Bowl invitations for Jackson State.
The question after Saturday’s 43-24 victory over Southern in the conference championship game is whether Deion Sanders will coach the Tigers in the Celebration Bowl.
First things first, Sanders and Jackson State are 12-0 after forcing 5 Jaguars turnovers and putting forth a strong offensive showing.
Sanders’ Tigers rushed to a 26-0 lead in the first quarter and any mystery of the outcome was pretty much erased.
Quarterback Shadeur Sanders, Deion’s son, threw for 327 yards and 4 touchdowns, including a pair to Shane Hooks.
Jackson State forced three interceptions and recovered 2 fumbles.
Awaiting at the Celebration Bowl on December 17 is a 9-2 North Carolina Central team that has won four in a row.
However, Deion Sanders has said he will make a decision about his coaching future, possibly as soon as Sunday. ESPN reported on Friday that Sanders is practically, signed and sealed to go to the University of Colorado.
In 32 games at Jackson State, Deion Sanders is 27-5.
