"That's why Jackson State football is so important. Because we give them a breath of fresh air," Sanders said."We give them hope, we give them an escape every darn weekend, and usually that weekend comes out victorious and they even more elated and forget about the nuances and the nonsense of that's happening in Jackson with the state and the government.
"The message from day one since I got in was, I believe. We believe, we truly believe. We always think positively. We don't think the worst of things," Sanders said."We think the best of things. We make the best of the situation. We don't look at the worst of the situations. And we … have each other's back."
