I think this is one of the main reasons JSU lost. It was just too many of them

No doubt about it. Anyone who knows the game can easily see that JSU had the more talented team, but were unprepared for battle. The looked about 80% ready for war, but you have to be 100% when you are facing a top 25 FCS programs and Conference Champion! That wasn’t a 6-5 hungry sleeper like SCSU last year, that was a 9-2 Champion with a chip on their shoulder ready for a fight.

Folks will point out JSU flaws on defense, (for good reason), but I feel that their offense stalled too many times in the beginning of both halves. The 1st and 3rd quarters show JSU not doing enough offensively to take control of the game. It was definitely their for them, but they didn’t take it.
 
Oh yeah,

Props to NCCU for taking advantage of this moment. The MEAC has been falling apart for the past few years, and their Conference Champion has shown up to fight for their Conference on the big stage. NCCU had a mission since losing a heartbreaker, and defeated a ⭐️ recruit loaded FCS 12-0 SWAC Dominate Champion.

To go from being 4-8 in 2019, to not playing in the 2020 COVID-19 Spring, to 6-5 in their 2021 return, to being a 10-2 Top 25 Ranked Conference Champion/Celebration Bowl Champion/HBCU National Champion is absolutely remarkable for any FCS Program! What an amazing storyline for HBCU football. Congratulations to those Eagles of NCCU on a job well done! We are all family at the end of the day, and NCCU reminded us on ABC once again that the MEAC is still standing tall. Props and respect! ✊🏾

Respect. Truth.

I think all the distractions leading up to the game itself coupled w/ a few starters not being available also contributed. Case in point, Brown's very undisciplined play at OLB/DE smh. All game long, he was being dominated vs being dominant. The undisciplined defense on those trick plays and fake punt smh.
 
I am not buying this distraction excuse one bit especially how demoralizing the defeat was last year to SCSU (where it was stated that loss fueled motivation for this season). Should we forget all the talk of “we have to finish strong” or media day comments of J-State’s goal to finish the season with two trophies? SWAC DPOY Miller said he came back for CB trophy before the season - intent and purpose was clear.

Championship mindset does not allow excuses to beset the mission. At some point in the game a championship pride has to exert itself. Coach Prime made an unequivocal and unambiguous statement during his interview at halftime. Paraphrasing he said this defense does not give up points in the 2nd half, watch what we do in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Are we to believe Prime’s motivational speeches worked in a 12-0 campaign and he suddenly lost his charisma in ATL?

The fact is Prime got outcoached badly in national championship games. We should Believe Prime without prejudice in his post game interview that he feels he let the J-State faithful down. Prime lost to a 6-5 MEAC champion and a heavily underdog NCCU. In STEM, three points on a line are needed to make a correlation. J-State’s trend is showing these losses are certainly not distraction-based rather correlating on Prime “Cannot win the the big game” Sanders.

That was not the same focused and physically gifted team we saw mid-year. "Fax."

19-23 year olds had to deal with a LOT of destructive, mentally taxing, distractions leading up to the 2022 game. That's a lot to deal w/ when one is also focused on leadership and leadership is no longer reciprocal to stay the course seemingly forever or for the remaining duration.

Put yourself in those young mens' shoes. Too much instant change in a short period of time. Did those stars come to JSU because of JSU the school or for coach Prime exclusively?

😭😂💀
 
He got outcoached. But I don't see how he got outcoached THAT bad. Is it just me? NCCU seemed to be a very GOOD coached team without the hyped 4-5 star name players and apparel, etc.
But the tight end pass was actually a good idea because lo and behold...he was open. He just dropped it. It happens but if he catches it...more gametime to win.
NCCU defense was doing well against a JSU they obviously scouted for. But jsu adjusted and brought the game within reach. *shrug
 



My thing is prime attitude is he’s so much above others he’s made comments like my team is playing HBCU football! Wtf does that mean? His son is posting on social media as he’s gods gift to hbcus his son wearing that Colorado hat on campus and just coming up to this game showed this game wasn’t on his mind or primes!! I’m glad during the post game interview the other player who is trying to go to the nfl said stay at our hbcus he kept it real! Don’t leave come to our schools RIGHT IN FRONT OF PRIME SON!! Shadeur was close to tears during that interview but going to CU and telling the team get in the portal I’m bringing my own luggage!! If that’s what he’s bringing omg for CU karma hits hard you can’t be a ass then can’t bring it when it really counts those recruits watched this game but nccu congrats for playing HBCU FOOTBALL AND WINNING! Stars mean nothing just play well and you will win

Dude, JSU was loaded with FBS caliber talent and dominated with a 12-0 finish. The amount of highly recruited Rival/247/ESPN star kids on their roster’s support the G5 Claim. You can’t ignore the distractions facing their program leading up to the biggest match up in HBCU football vs a well rested 9-2 Top 25 FCS program. One could easily claim that JSU would have one that game had Deion not been splitting time and focusing on the war ahead. You never know.

No, Deion Sanders shouldn’t have coached this game as a departing Coach, but he did and they lost in OT. Nothing shameful about an OT Championship Game loss.

Nothing at all shameful, unless you walked in the stadium and been talking for last two weeks that you go walk in and take the game with ease.

I hear ya, but there is no way around a superstar HBCU Head Coaching departing for PWI Power 5 not being a distraction for a program preparing for a National Title Game. The media, that backlash, the transfers and all types of things in the air are definitely considered distractions any way you slice it. You are right, folks don’t have to buy it, but it’s definitely on the shelf. Even if JSU would have won in OT, folks like me still would have been pointing out them looking unprepared for defensively.
