Professional Football Hall of Fame member Deion Sanders is 1-0 as a college head coach.

Sanders became Jackson State University’s head coach last September and waited until Sunday to make his sideline debut as the school postponed their season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The opponent in the opener was Edward Waters College and Sanders’ side didn’t have much trouble winning.

The Tigers built a 31-0 halftime lead and beat 53-0 to kick off their eight-game schedule. Jackson State will play Mississippi Valley State next weekend.

Sanders had a visit from one of his former teammates before the game. Rashad Milligan from Mississippi Clarion Ledger shared a video of Troy Aikman saluting Sanders on the field before the victory.
