JSU's article from Clarion Ledger





MH, that is a good thing. Our team always overlooks LC because he is coaching at smalltime ASU but now things have changed. I think they have respect for LC but not ASU. They know that they have had the better team the last two years but LC put his team in a position to win. They realize now that there is more to it than watching how sorry your players look on film. They know they have to beat LC. That's half the battle. That is why this will be a blowout. We are about to bring LC to his knees. You all could not beat Peanut and Alcorn. I think my second string can beat PB and Alcorn. Honestly.
 
You couldn't beat a&t. With all their freshmen.

Plus, you had a moral loss to one-win tn. state!

Have you seen ASU play? I've seen jsue twice. :smh:


btw, please stop the foolishness about you had a better team last year. That's so crazy, even for you.
 
MH, you did not have a good team last year. Even JSU players have been quoted saying that. You all played smarter and held on to the ball. We know that is what we need to focus on. Not the plays or your athletes. We have you beat at every level. We just need to play a more sound game than you. BTW, I don't need to see AlaState. You lost to Alcorn and PB. That is all I need to see.
 
Not only did they lose.....

They got worked by some weak offenses

Alcorn could crack the line of scrimmage against F. Valley
but they ran for 380 yards against Bama State

Lovelady had his way with the Bama State defense
yet they want to deal with the best in the SWAC?

Baby, I cant wait.

Losers usually say stuff like that right after losing!!!!!!
Our special teams were better than yours. Way, way better than yours
Our offense was better (since we could run too), Our defense was a lil better than yours

Don't fool yourself. the refs kept you in that game. And the clock operator did too.

Actually, not much has changed this year. We're still better than you.
 
MH, I will give you special teams but offense and defense was all JSU. If not, why did you have to win off of special teams? In fact, special teams is the only way you have been in games this year. JSU is not going to let you run a thing back.

JSU back keeps 'em smiling with jokes, tough yards

Ask almost anybody to describe Jackson State running back Laurence Nolen the football player and the response will likely sound like this: "Big, fast, strong."

He's also funny. Very funny. No JSU player, coach, manager or trainer is safe from Nolen's verbal jabs. No subject is too sacred.

"He's a character," JSU running backs coach Grailyn Pratt said with a chuckle. "He kills me sometimes with some of the stuff he comes out with."

Need a couple of yards for a first down, Nolen's your man. Need somebody to crack a joke to relief the tension, Nolen's also your man.

"I try to keep things fun when I play," said Nolen, nicknamed 'Hair Bear' by his teammates and coaches because of his large Afro. "I try to stay in a good mood, and keep a smile on my face."

Nolen is loving life more than ever this year. A seldom used fullback the past two seasons, the 6-foot-2, 230-pound senior from Detroit is finally getting a chance to showcase his considerable skills.

Nolen has rushed for nearly as many yards this season (249) as he did the last two seasons combined (250). And his 51 carries is just 12 shy of his total from the previous two seasons combined.

JSU offensive coordinator Darrell Asberry promised to get Nolen more involved in the Tigers' pass-happy attack this season, and he's delivered. So has Nolen.

He's averaging 4.9 yards per carry heading into Saturday's key Southwestern Athletic Conference game against Alabama State in Mobile.

"He's produced," JSU coach Robert Hughes said.

The tough-to-bring-down Nolen is the perfect complement to cat-quick tailback Tarnaka Counslor. Together, they form the most potent 1-2 running punch in the league. JSU leads the SWAC in rushing (163.2 yards per game).

At least once a game, Nolen draws oohs from the crowd by picking up additional yardage with defenders draped on his back. Against North Carolina A&T, he was stuffed at the line of scrimmage on one play but wasn't brought down until 9 yards and one first down later. It took five Aggies to bring him down on the play.

"I'm really not thinking about anything when I get the ball," he said. "I just get it and go."

Nolen is as versatile as he is tough to bring down. Not only has he been used at fullback, he's also been used at tailback in a one-back set. Against Mississippi Valley, he stepped in at tailback after Counslor went down with an injury early in the game and rushed for a career-high 100 yards on 14 carries.

"He came in and did an excellent job," Valley coach Willie Totten said. "He's a big guy who runs hard. He's got a lot of power and a lot of strength. And he's a lot quicker than I anticipated."

Nolen runs a 4.6 40-yard dash, which is good for a back his size. In high school, he was even quicker. Then at a much-lighter 180-pounds, Nolen was clocked at 4.48 at a high school combine in the Silverdome. He ran for 1,488 yards and averaged 12.1 yards per carry at Oak Park High. He also ran track, where he competed in the 100, 200, 4x100 and 4x200 relays.

Nolen added the additional weight his first year at JSU thanks to generous helpings of greens, cornbread, beans, etc. in the school cafeteria. Now he has the body of a fullback, but still has some of the wiggle of a tailback. He's also got soft hands and is adept at catching the ball out of the backfield.

"He's going to bruise you," Asberry said. "He's got the quicks to get around you, but once he realizes he can't get around you, he's going to go ahead and try to run through you. Once he gets into the secondary, that's when he's most dangerous. Those cornerbacks don't like to hit him."

One thing Nolen hasn't done this season is score a touchdown.

"I plan on getting one this game," he said. "Their linebackers have good speed, but they're real light. I don't see them stopping me."

If enough scouts see this kid over the course of the season, I think he has a legitimate shot at playing at the next level. He's definitely got the size, and his speed is respectable.
