Southern University football vs. Alcorn State game capsule

When/Where: Saturday at Jack Spinks Stadium in Lorman, Mississippi.
Television: The game will be shown online on ESPN3.
Radio: WYNK 97.7 FM

Coaches: Alcorn St. - Jay Hopson (third season as head coach, 16-11). Southern -- Dawson Odums (second season as head coach, was interim in 2012, 15-11).

Southern: Southern (2-2) looks to continue its good start in SWAC play after a 34-24 victory against Prairie View A&M last Saturday. Southern was able to win the turnover battle in the game and went on a 17-0 run in the second and third quarter to put the game out of reach.

The Jaguars were led by freshman quarterback Austin Howard, who before Saturday's game had been splitting time with redshirt freshman Deonte Shorts. Howard threw for 116 yards and a touchdown and added a rushing touchdown in the second quarter.
