  "account": "Jackson State football found itself in a precarious position earlier this week. Having secured a win over Mississippi Valley State, the No. 22 Tigers (7-3, 4-3 SWAC) were tied atop the SWAC East standings with Alabama A&M (8-2, 5-2), needing a win in their final two games to claim the division title. However, a 20-13 defeat to Alabama State at ASU Stadium on Nov. 14 dashed those hopes, leaving JSU and Alabama A&M tied for second place, with A&M ahead on the conference standings.",
