Southern University defense much better than in first meeting with Alcorn State

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- As Grambling lined up to run what would be the final play of the game on Southern's 1-yard-line Saturday, Jaguars coach Dawson Odums called time out to get everyone on the same page. Southern senior defensive end Arthur Miley was already there.

Odums said when the defensive unit came to the sideline, he asked what they saw when Grambling came to the line of scrimmage. Miley noticed something about Grambling quarterback Johnathan Williams.

"Miley said, 'I think they're going to sneak it,''' Odums said, recalling the conversation. "He said the quarterback had his right foot back and he was in a crouched position. I said, 'Let's get our sneak defense in then.' And Miley said, 'Coach, let's run the one we ran two years ago.' I'm like, 'Two years ago?' So I said okay, 'Out of Delta, let's go wham.' And that's what we did.''
