Mixed results so far this season for Southern Jaguars

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  --  Southern’s start to this season has been somewhat of an up-and-down ride.

The year started off with a 62-13 loss to Houston — a lopsided defeat that could be chalked up to the fact that Southern was an undermanned squad with only 63 scholarship players available compared to that of the 85 allotted to Football Bowl Subdivision Houston.

However, the following week, Southern was hit with a dose of reality as it traveled to Natchitoches to take on Northwestern State.

Before the in-state matchup, senior linebacker Anthony Balancier made an ill-advised comment toward Northwestern State leading up to the game.

The comments were plastered all over the Demons’ football facilities as reminders to what their opponents thought of them.
