Southern U wants to reverse fortunes in Week 3

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern football coach Dawson Odums identified three key facets the Jaguars will emphasize this week as they prepare for Saturday’s Southwestern Conference opener against Prairie View:

Rushing offense, rushing defense and special teams play.

The Jaguars’ ground game has accumulated a meager 165 yards rushing in their first two games, while the defense has been gashed for 564 yards rushing.
