BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- For the first time in more than a decade, the Southern football team will play fewer than 11 regular-season games.
The Jaguars’ 2018 schedule features 10 contests. It is the first time since 2005 Southern will not play a full 11-game schedule, the blame for which Southern athletic director Roman Banks laid with the Southwestern Athletic Conference office.
“We were dealt a limited hand,” Banks said.
A SWAC spokesman did not respond to the Advocate's request for comment Friday.
