Southern coach Dawson Odums hopes Jaguars shake off loss, wet weather

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern has played football in messy conditions the past two weeks, and coach Dawson Odums said he hopes there aren’t any lingering effects.

Two weeks ago in Houston, the Jaguars endured torrential rains related to the remnants of Hurricane Patricia and a sloppy field during a 40-21 victory at Texas Southern.

Then Saturday, daylong heavy rains produced what Odums on Monday called “one of the worst field conditions I’ve ever played on in a football game.”

Southern couldn’t throw the ball and lost four fumbles in a 48-7 loss to Alcorn State.

“They got off to a fast start,” Odums said during the Southwestern Athletic Conference coaches weekly teleconference. “We got some momentum and it was 21-7. But after that, we just couldn’t get anything going and we turned the ball over, and they capitalized like good teams do.”
