Win, or fade: starting with homecoming tilt against Alabama A&M, only SWAC games remain for Southern
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern has entered the high-stakes arena of Southwestern Athletic Conference football, where one loss can signal the end of your postseason aspirations.
All of Southern’s six remaining games are against SWAC teams, starting with a homecoming matchup against Alabama A&M (2-3, 2-0) at 6 p.m. Saturday.
The margin for error is minimal for Southern (2-3, 0-1) and other SWAC schools at this stage of the season. Its most experienced players are intimately aware of that fact.
“The good thing about it is we’ve got enough seniors on this football team who have been through the fire,” Southern coach Dawson Odums said. “They understand what it’s all about.”
This is senior quarterback Austin Howard’s fourth time entering this dance, and he has seen all the ways it can unfold.
