HOUSTON. Texas — The Southern football team took a victory lap around Reliant Stadium, slapping hands with their jubilant fans.
Quarterback Dray Joseph stopped and posed for pictures.
Linebacker Anthony Balancier hoisted the Southwestern Athletic Conference Championship trophy.
Wide receiver Lee Doss danced while coach Dawson Odums toweled off after a celebratory dousing at the hands of his players.
The rest of the squad scrambled into formation to pose for a team photo to commemorate their 34-27, double-overtime victory against Jackson State in the SWAC title game Saturday.
The Jaguars had avenged a 19-14 regular-season loss that gnawed at them for two months. They had won Southern’s first SWAC championship in 10 years, concluding an improbable but thoroughly legitimate turnaround after three consecutive losing seasons.
