Southern-Grambling series neck-and-neck

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The Southern-Grambling rivalry is often considered one of the best in college football. It’s also among the most closely contested.

The overall series is tied at 30, though Grambling holds a 20-19 advantage over the Jaguars in Bayou Classic games.

Additionally, Grambling has emerged victorious in four of the past five meetings.

Yet Southern coach Dawson Odums sees the matchup becoming even, and more clear after Saturday, which marks the 40th anniversary of the Bayou Classic.

“We understand we’re playing Grambling,” Odums said. “And it is 20-19 Grambling right now, but my vision is 20-20.”
