BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- When the Southern defense is on the field this season, the Jaguars will operate in a 3-4 alignment.Coach Dawson Odums said the move is partly to accommodate the personnel he has on his roster, which includes 15 linebackers and 11 defensive linemen. But he also believes it will help the Jaguars counter the boatload of college offenses that have adopted spread-formation attacks.
“All these teams want to spread you out and play sideline to sideline,” Odums said Friday. “We want speed on the field.”
It so happens that the personnel Southern returns fits nicely into those plans.
“I think we’re athletic and have a lot of guys that can run,” Odums said. “We’re going to utilize that.”
