Sheduer is a beast! that youngman has grit, people are sleeping on him and he played a flawless 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟game. I knew Travis was going to give us some highlights some kind of way. I'm just sad for them and Coach Prime that the end of the game didn't end like they deserved for it to end. The team had a heck of a year, but somebody got complacent and it wasn't the offense. hint, hint! Can't wait to see these youngmen on their next journey. 😍

[@MattGatts]

The other team deserved it just as much as they did. Why did Jackson State deserve it more? Because Deion Sanders was their coach??

[@willh69]

​@@MattGatts nah it's more because they had the multi-million dollar documentary behind them. Way more people know the story so obviously people would be more invested in seeing them winning. Doesn't take away from your point, yes, the winners deserved to win on the day because they played by the rules and got the job done - and winning generally gets rid of any and every excuse. You can't argue with winning.

[@TheSoulstar7]

Great game by both teams. Jackson’s defense had problems with the running game all day and that seemed to be the difference bc it kept Shedeur off the field. Collier and the NCCU qb were tough. Shedeur, Hunter and Coleman did great on offense.. I thought they shouldn’t have kept running Wilkerson up the middle either. That game should have easily gone into double ot but the tight end dropped a wide open pass off a great play-call. Congrats to NCCU and Jackson on a great year.

[@thatguybill34]

*Some players were suspended for being late and some left in the portal. Messed up the defense.*

[@TheSoulstar7]

That’s unfortunate man. I wonder how many bc it seemed like the defense was a shell of themselves. I can’t fault guys for transferring but being late is inexcusable. Maybe Coach Prime should have suspended them for one quarter instead of the entire game but it’s always easier to analyze after the game.

Both teams play their heart out no one should hold their head down it was a fantastic game that has really electrified both divisions in the HBCU. Power 5 look at all the great talent that you missed out on because you felt they were was not good enough to play on your team. It's not they wasn't good enough to play for your team maybe you just can't develop talent.

[@CH_HBCU-Xperience]

Let's also direct this to the NFL as well. Believe it or not, many players WANT to play for HBCUs. If that's their choice, it shouldn't lower their star ratings or draft stock. Let's raise the draft stock of HBCU players. JSU lost the Celebration Bowl last year with James Houston. He got drafted 6th round (too low). He is balling out with the Detroit Lions. Both of these QBs should be drafted higher. If the players are good, they are good regardless of what school they play for. This is the mindset everyone needs to have. Stop devaluing HBCU football.
