Jackson State coach Deion Sanders and Alabama State coach Eddie Robinson Jr. shook hands, then Sanders tried to hug Robinson, but Robinson appeared to shove Sanders away. “We ain’t friends,” Robinson said. “There was no need for no embrace.”
reports that Sanders made a comment this week suggesting that Alabama State would regret scheduling his team for homecoming, which could have been why Robinson reacted the way he did.
Shedeur Sanders threw three touchdown passes to lead Jackson State. Sanders, who was 30 of 46 for 332 yards passing, connected with Willie Gaines for 35 yards, Kevin Coleman Jr. for 25 and JD Martin for 16. The 12-straight Southwestern Athletic Conference win for the Tigers spoiled Homecoming for the Hornets and matched their best start since 1996.
