NEW ORLEANS -- Southern’s tight ends had been one of quarterback Austin Howard’s favorite targets all season.Whenever Howard needed a quick outlet under pressure, Dillon Beard or Austin Opara or even freshman Jeremias Houston were always a safe option to dump the ball off.
Not Saturday.
Grambling clamped down on Howard’s safety nets all night in the Bayou Classic, limiting his targeting of tight ends to just five of his 44 attempts.
All of the targets went to Beard, who reeled in three receptions for 36 yards, all of which came in the second half.
Quinn falls short
One of Southern’s most prolific careers ended without a 1,000-yard season.
Senior receiver Willie Quinn fell 45 yards short of one of the few milestones to elude him the past four years after gaining 60 yards on six receptions Saturday.
