RUSTON, Louisiana --Southern believes its offense is going to be difficult to defend this season.
So the Jaguars plan to use a faster tempo more often, giving their myriad playmakers more and better opportunities to make big plays.
“When we go tempo, I think we’re at our best,” coach Dawson Odums said. “When you go tempo, you run more plays. And the more plays you have, the better your chances to move the football around. I think that’s helpful.”
A faster tempo could come in handy at 6 p.m. Saturday in the season opener at Louisiana Tech, which has a defense that likes to confuse blockers with a lot of presnap movement. The faster the ball is snapped, the less time there is for presnap maneuvering, as well as substitutions.
“I think a lot of their big plays on defense come from the confusion that they have when they’re moving around a lot on defense,” Odums said. “That creates some bad reads and some opportunities for big plays.”
