Jax State tops UT-Martin

[JaxSinfonian]

The world is returning to normal ... JSU 37, UT-Martin 17.

JSU got up on Martin 21-0 in the first quarter. They picked off Skyhawk QB Brady Wahlberg 5 times (a sixth was called back) in the first half.

Clay Green had 141 yards rushing and 2 TDs, 173 yards all-purpose. Wahlberg finally started hitting the right color jerseys in the second half, but carried the team mostly on his legs. It wasn't enough though. They dug themselves a pretty big hole with all those turnovers.

Very good crowd, at 12,919, despite this being our first victory at home this year. We're averaging over 12,000 a game, with just one game in four digits so far.

With EIU steamrolling EKU 53-22, JSU doesn't look so far out of the hunt for a three-peat anymore. What the heck happened to the Colonels, by the way? Anybody?

Not quite normal. That would have been a great score for the "old" UTM.

Still BOOO Jax State. ;)

We finally play close to our abilities.

What happened to EKU? They played like they did against us a few weeks ago, we just played quite possibly our worst game in the past 3 seasons against them.

The same thing Jax St. did to EIU two years ago at Jax St.......EIU up 21-0 in first 5 minutes, then finished by letting Greco throw underneath about 71 times. Panthers played well.....hope to continue inspired play. connection out!

whoaaaaaaaaaaa Jaxguy....It would seem which side of the field you are sitting on is how you view this. But lets give credit where it is due. We beat you and EIU whipped our tails!
