Southern works around weather

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  --  The Southern football team has had three preseason practices, and none has gone according to plan.

“That’s usually how a season goes,” coach Dawson Odums said philosophically Sunday afternoon as lightning near A.W. Mumford Stadium forced a 30-minute delay just as the Jaguars were finishing their pre-practice stretching.

After 30 minutes, Southern returned to the field amid moderate rain that gradually dissipated during the two-hour practice.
The Jaguars’ first practice Friday was moved inside a gymnasium because of rain, and Odums moved Saturday’s workout from the practice field to the stadium because of concerns about the safety of the field’s surface.
Odums said Southern would move to its regular practice field for its Monday morning workout.
