BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- As the calendar turns to October, Southern football coach Dawson Odums is giving his team a midseason tune-up heading into Saturday’s road trip to Alabama State.Odums likened his team to a foreign car at his Tuesday luncheon news conference, saying he’s using several changes to the depth chart to spark the Jaguars back to high performance levels before they head into a stretch of seven consecutive Southwestern Conference matchups.
“Football is like a car, you put so many miles on it and you have to tune it up,” Odums said. “Well, this is just a little tune-up. But usually (the starters) recognize the tune-up, understand they need a little oil change, and this will help them. But right now, we have to get ready for that next 100,000 miles.”
Tuesday’s depth chart featured three true freshmen moving into the starting defensive lineup: Christopher Jones at nose guard, Jaron Johnson at defensive tackle and Andrea Augustine at free safety.
