The Jackson State Tigers will kick their season off against they on Thursday. Kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. ET at JPS Field at James L. Malone Stadium.

Looking back to last season, Jackson State finished on the right side of .500 (7-4), and they're hoping to kick off an even more successful campaign this year. On the other hand, UL Monroe finished with a dismal 2-10 record.
