BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- When Prairie View and Southern meet Saturday in A.W. Mumford Stadium, it will be Willie Simmons’ team against Dawson Odums’ team.
It will also be Simmons’ offense against Odums’ defense.
Simmons is in his first season as the Panthers head coach and he serves as his own offensive coordinator. Odums doubles as his own defensive coordinator with the Jaguars.
It’s the first time the two have met since Simmons became a head coach for the first time before this season, but it’s not the first time Odums’ defense has faced Simmons’ offense.
Simmons was hired as the Panthers head coach after he helped Alcorn State win the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship last season. The Braves beat a depleted Southern team 56-16 in the regular season and won a rematch against a rejuvenated Jaguars team 38-24 in the SWAC championship game.
