Grambling State running back Keilon Elder fumbled, and Jackson State linebacker Keonte Hampton recovered at Eddie Robinson Stadium.
It was Jackson State’s first win over Grambling State since 2012. It also gave Sanders a win in his SWAC debut.
Jackson State’s prior drive resulted in a fumble near the end zone that resulted in a Grambling State recovery on a drive that could have put the game away.
