Jackson State football vs Grambling score prediction, scouting report in Week 4

Jackson State football enters Week 4 after a win over rival Southern.

Jackson State (2-1) plays at SWAC opponent Grambling (2-1) at Eddie G. Robinson Memorial Stadium on Saturday (6 p.m., ESPN +). But it isn’t counting as a conference game because Grambling rotated out of Jackson State’s list of SWAC opponents for 2024.

McCoy leads the team in rushing with 130 yards and has 144 passing yards with four total touchdowns, and Morgan has 531 passing yards with five total touchdowns.

Irv Mulligan, JD Martin are back at running back for Jackson State

Running backs Irv Mulligan and J.D. Martin saw their first snaps of the 2024 season against Southern after both returned from leg injuries. The two will be Taylor’s one-two punch in the backfield. There’s also Travis Terrell Jr. and Ahmad Miller, who carried the load when Mulligan and Martin were sidelined.

Mulligan has 51 rushing yards with a touchdown on 13 carries, and Martin has 33…
