BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern tried to simulate a football game as best it could for its first scrimmage of preseason camp Saturday morning.A modest-sized crowd turned out, providing the largest group of spectators during the first nine days of practice.
The coaches tried to give their headsets a dry run, though the reception didn’t work as well at the Jaguars practice field as it does next door inside A.W. Mumford Stadium.
An officiating crew was on hand, helping the players get closer to being game ready three weeks before their season opener at Louisiana-Lafayette.
And football-wise, things pretty much went according to plan. The Jaguars ran about 120 plays in stifling heat and humidity and appeared to escape any serious injuries, though a few players did leave after being nicked up.
