Southern sets sights on SEC powerhouse Georgia

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern is off to a fast start in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, having won its first two league games and scoring 50 points in each.

Now the Jaguars get a taste of Southeastern Conference play when they visit seventh-ranked Georgia on Saturday.

“Hopefully,” coach Dawson Odums quipped Monday during the weekly SWAC coaches teleconference, “we’ll come back with the same number of guys that we take up there.”



Certainly the Bulldogs present the most physical challenge the Jaguars will face this season, if not ever. But, Odums added, Southern can’t allow that to affect its preparations.

“You’ve got to line up and play,” Odums said. “They’re no different than you, they just play for a bigger school with more resources, but they can’t play more than 11 players at a time. You’ve got to go in there with the right mindset to play your very best just to give yourself a chance.”
