BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern has come a long way since Dawson Odums was named head coach after the Jaguars’ 0-2 start in 2012.He immediately brought stability and discipline as the Jaguars went a relatively respectable 4-5 the rest of the way.
The next season, Southern won its first Southwestern Athletic Conference championship in 10 years, and last season it returned to the title game, though it came up short.
The Jaguars (4-3, 4-1), are again in the thick of the West Division race, establishing themselves as perennial title contenders.
But there’s one thing Southern hasn’t done during Odums’ tenure, and it’s a big thing: defeat Alcorn State. The Jaguars will try to end a four-game losing streak in the series when they face the Braves (4-2, 3-1) at 4 p.m. Saturday in A.W. Mumford Stadium.
