BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Alcorn State was, as advertised, a difficult challenge for Southern University. The Braves blew out the Jaguars, 56-16, last Saturday, rolling up 682 yards and 39 first downs.Southern coach Dawson Odums acknowledged as much during his weekly press conference Tuesday, giving credit to a senior-laden Alcorn State squad. But he also said the Jaguars missed some opportunities early that could have made the score a little more respectable.
He lamented the fact that Southern did little with the four turnovers it forced against the Braves. One of his biggest concerns was Southern's inability to get off the field on third down. Alcorn State was 11 of 15 on third-down conversions and one of one on fourth down.
