Southern Jaguars energized by game week

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The Southern football team took to the practice fields Monday with plenty of enthusiasm, energized by the fact that game week is finally here.

“We’re just ready to go up against someone other than our own team,” co-offensive coordinator Chad Germany said.

The Jaguars practiced in full pads with a heavy emphasis on special teams. Coach Dawson Odums said sophomore place-kicker Greg Pittman holds a slight advantage over senior Matt Hill.

The Jaguars are also excited about the environment they’ll get to experience Friday night.

“From the type of field we practice on to going inside to Reliant Stadium with great turf, great surroundings and a great environment,” Odums said. “It will feel like a great football atmosphere to us. I really think it’s a win-win for everybody.”
