Southern plans to scrimmage with better effort



BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The Southern football team finished preseason camp last Saturday with a scrimmage that didn’t feature the type of effort coach Dawson Odums was looking for.

The Jaguars say they plan to show improvement in that area when they scrimmage again Saturday morning at the Louisiana Leadership Institute.

“I think overall they’re going to be more excited,” Odums said. “I think they understand that that’s part of our makeup and that’s our motto — to play with energy and passion. Any time we get off the bus that’s something we’ve got to have in our lunch box that we’re always going to be carrying with us and I think we had it in spurts but not to my liking.

“I think we’re going to do better at that and it will be interesting to see how we do with that on Saturday.”

Odums and his assistants pointed to examples where effort was lacking as they reviewed tape of last week’s scrimmage.
