Southern turns its focus to well-rested Jackson State
WATCH IN 1080p HD, WIDE SCREEN
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern began practicing Monday for its Southwestern Athletic Conference Championship game against Jackson State.
The Tigers, though, have been preparing for the Jaguars for the past two weeks after concluding their regular season with a 48-33 loss Nov. 16 at Alcorn State.
The teams, who have known they would oppose each other since Nov. 9, will meet at 1 p.m. Saturday at Reliant Stadium in Houston.
“We’ve been practicing, trying to stay sharp,” Jackson State coach Rick Comegy said during a conference call Monday. “Sometimes when you have a long layoff, you tend to get rusty and lose your sharpness. We’ve been working a little bit every day, doing a lot of work on our technique and running our base stuff. We’ve watched some film on our opponent, and we’ve been reviewing what we did in (preseason camp) so we don’t have a lot of mistakes. We want to be as mistake-free as possible.”
