MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Southern has scored 50 points against each of its first two Southwestern Athletic Conference opponents.
The Jaguars have the leading rusher in the conference in Lenard Tillery and one of the top-rated passers in Austin Howard. The receiving corps may be the league’s deepest; it’s led by Willie Quinn, who has three special teams touchdowns to go with one he caught and another he threw.
That’s a lot of weapons Southern (2-2, 2-0) brings with it to ASU Stadium in Montgomery, Alabama, to face Alabama State (2-3, 2-2) at 6 p.m. Saturday.
“It’s become a nightmare watching those guys on film,” first-year Hornets coach Brian Jenkins said. “I’m in disbelief of what I’ve seen on film. They have some good ballplayers, and they play the game the way it’s supposed to be played. I don’t know if we can stop them. We can try to contain them or try to slow them down, but no one has stopped them yet. I don’t know if we will have the answer, either. Hopefully we can go in and try to control them and give us a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter.”
