Game 1-Mississippi State
JSU 2012 FOOTBALL
LAST MEETING
JSU 7, Mississippi State 45
Sept. 5, 2009 * Starkville, MS
STARKVILLE, Miss. - The Jackson State Tigers were looking to make history by being the first Southwestern Athletic Conference team when they took the field against
the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Davis Wade Stadium Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately the Tigers were on the wrong end of a 45-7 loss.
After a 30 minute delay due to lightning strikes around the stadium, the Tigers and the
Bulldogs met for the first time ever on the gridiron. Turnovers and penalties hampered
the Jackson State offense. Mississippi State was also plagued by turnovers and penalties, JSU had 15 penalties and MSU committed 12, however the Bulldogs were able
to overcome those hiccups.
Both teams opening drives stalled out. JSU got the ball for the first time in the game
when Kerry Hoskins recovered a Christian Ducre fumble. JSU was not able to move
the ball and attempted to punt. MSU capitalized on a botched JSU punt attempt and
took over possession on the JSU 24 yard line. Four plays later the Bulldogs put up
the first points on the scoreboard, when Chris Relf connected with Chad Bumphis for
a 15 yard TD. Brauchle's extra point kick gave MSU a 7-0 lead with 9:12 remaining in
the first quarter.
MSU took over possession on the JSU 22 yard line on another mishandled JSU punt
attempt. Marcell Young broke up a Tyson Lee pass in the end zone to save a touchdown. Sean Brauchle missed a 38-yard field goal attempt.
On MSU's next possession Brauchle missed a 37-yard field goal attempt at the 12:19
mark in the second quarter. The Bulldogs ended the half with a 12 play, 79 yard drive
to give MSU a 14-0 lead.
MSU opened the second half with a three play, 15 yard drive that ended with a seven
yard run scoring run by Robert Elliot at the 13:07 mark in the third. Brauchle's point
after kick made the score 21-0. Six minutes and 58 seconds later Marcus Green
hauled in a 19-yard pass from Relf. Brauchle's kick made the score 28-0. MSU ended
the quarter with a seven-yard Relf to Bumphis TD pass. The extra point kick gave
MSU a 35-0 lead.
Brauchle opened the fourth quarter with a 25 yard field goal. JSU got its only score of
the game when freshman Terrance Davis capped a 10 play, 72-yard drive with a 16
yard TD run.Eric Perri's extra point kick made the score 38-7 with 8:27 remaining in
the game. MSU recorded the final score of the game when Corey Broomfield intercepted an errant pass by Trae Rutland and returned it 43 yards for the score.
JSU finished the game with 194 total offensive yards, while MSU had 359. The Tigers
had 62 rushing yards and 132 passing. The Bulldogs had 202 rushing yards and 157
passing yards. Rutland finished with a team high 62 rushing yards and a game high
132 passing yards. Relf led the Bulldogs with 82 rushing yards and a TD to go along
with 75 passing yards. Keenan Tillman caught two passes for a game high 57 yards
for JSU. Marcus Green caught three passes for 40 yards and a TD.
Malcolm Palmer led JSU with 8.5 tackles and Marcus Jamison followed with six.
Wade Bonner led MSU with four tackles. The attendance of 54,232 is the third largest
in MSU history.

CHISLED PHYSIQUE

fitness over the summer. Joseph LeBeau added
muscle and strength during the off-season, in
order to deal with expected double-teams he
will face during SWAC play. Rico Richardson
added 10 pounds of muscle in order to have
more productivity as the No. 1 receiver, as well
as to participate in the return game. BJ Lee, is
pound-for-pound one of the strongest and most
physically fit members of the team.
