PINE BLUFF, Arkansas — Southern probably isn’t going to make the postseason, but Saturday the Jaguars looked like a team that wants to make the most of what’s left of its season.A week after a 41-point loss to Alcorn State crippled the Jaguars’ hope of winning a third consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference West Division title, they bounced back emphatically against outmanned Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Austin Howard threw four touchdown passes, six players scored touchdowns and the defense stymied the Golden Lions in a 57-24 rout in Golden Lion Stadium.
Southern (5-4, 5-2) plays its home finale against Alabama A&M next Saturday in A.W. Mumford Stadium. The Jaguars, though, slipped to the brink of mathematical elimination as Grambling and Prairie View both won Saturday to maintain two-game advantages over Southern in the West with two games to play. The Jaguars’ only path to the SWAC title game requires them to win their last two games and Grambling and Prairie View to both lose their final two.
