  "account": "Jared Lockhart's two touchdown passes and a fourth-quarter surge propelled Jackson State to a 31-28 victory over Alabama State on Saturday night, keeping the Tigers undefeated in the Gulf Coast Challenge. Ranked No. 25 in the Stats Perform FCS Top 25, Jackson State has maintained a perfect record in five consecutive encounters since the Southwestern Athletic Conference games were relocated annually to Ladd-Pebbles Stadium. Cornelious Brown IV was the sole source of points for Alabama A&M, tallying all four touchdowns, but it was his fumble that sparked Jackson State's pivotal 17-yard touchdown pass from Lockhart to Kobe Paul, extending the Tigers' lead to 28-17 with 8 1/2 minutes left in the game. Alabama A&M took the halftime lead at 14-10, extending their advantage to 21-10 after Brown's 14-yard touchdown pass to Jarel Williams in the third quarter. Brown also connected with Jaylan Bean for a 70-yard scoring play and a 28-17 lead with 8 minutes and 42 seconds remaining. However, the Bulldogs' offensive efforts dwindled after that, with only four plays in the final stages of the game. Lockhart's 15-of-32 passing for 169 yards, coupled with Nate Rembert's 108 receiving yards and Nate Blount IV's 88-yard rushing performance, helped Jackson State secure their much-needed win. Brown completed 14 of 30 passes for 263 yards, scoring three touchdowns and committing no interceptions for the Bulldogs (4-2, 1-1). Alabama A&M will next face Bethune-Cookman next Saturday, while Jackson State travels to Grambling for their next contest.",
