For the first time since 1993, Tennessee State will have a new opponent in the Southern Heritage Classic. The Tigers will face the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff on Saturday in the 34th edition after Deion Sanders pulled Jackson State from the classic after last season. Although there will be a different team, the atmosphere will remain the same. Tennessee State (0-1), which lost to Notre Dame 56-3 on Sept. 2, contained Jackson State for most of the game last season before quarterback Shedeur Sanders orchestrated a game-sealing drive to help JSU win 16-3.
