JSU opponent preview: Southern

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Today brings another installment of The Clarion-Ledger's game-by-game breakdown of Jackson State's 2015 schedule.

Earlier this week we looked at JSU's opening game against Middle Tennessee State and the Southern Heritage Classic against Tennessee State.

This post examines the Tigers' SWAC opener against Southern.

This game, which will be played in Baton Rouge and broadcast live on ESPN 3, will be the last of three consecutive games away from home to begin the season for Jackson State.

It'll provide the chance for JSU to make a statement, too. Southern, which beat the Tigers last season and in the 2013 SWAC title game, has appeared in the conference title game two years in a row and will have another solid team this year.
