SU Jaguars set scrimmage today at Mumford

Southern University will hold its first major scrimmage of the preseason at 9 a.m. today in A.W. Mumford Stadium. The Jaguars will go about 120 plays. This time, unlike a week ago when they finished with 40 plays from selected spots on the field, the offense will advance the ball, with downs being kept. The scrimmage will be open to the public.

“We’ll go down the field, and if they don’t make it, we’ll come back. Situational stuff,” Southern coach Pete Richardson said. The scrimmage will be crucial in evaluating players after two full weeks of camp. SU will take off Sunday and then start a school-week practices Monday. Because of NCAA sanctions in the wake of another unsatisfactory Academic Progress Rate showing, SU is limited to 16 hours instead of 20.
