LIVE: Mississippi Valley State at Jackson State Football

JACKSON, Miss. (KTTV) – This week’s HBCU Game of the Week tells the story of two seasons, with the winless Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils taking on the first-place Jackson State Tigers just hours later.

The Delta Devils (0-9, 0-5 SWAC) are near the bottom of the pack in almost every statistical measure this season. Not only do the Delta Devils have the worst offense and defense this season, but they also rank second-to-last in the SWAC in yards per game (267) and yards allowed per game (451).

Meanwhile, the Tigers (7-2, 5-0 SWAC) are on a five-game winning streak and boast the second-best offense and defense in the SWAC. Their success was fueled by Irv Mulligan, the conference’s leading rusher, and Jacobian Morgan, the conference’s most efficient passing quarterback. On the defensive side, Joshua Nobles leads the SWAC in sacks.

History isn’t on the Delta Devils’ side either. These two teams have met 70 times since 1956, with Mississippi Valley State winning just five times.
