Who has SWAC’s best skill players?

GRAMBLING, Louisiana — Before the season started, Southern coach Dawson Odums talked up the Jaguars’ wide receiver corps as not only one of the best in the Southwestern Athletic Conference but in the country.

“We’re very talented at wide receiver,” Odums said before Southern played Louisiana Tech in September.

Led by Willie Quinn and Randall Menard at receiver and quarterback Austin Howard throwing to them, the defending SWAC West champions had all the pieces together. Throw in 1,000-yard rusher Lenard Tillery and the Jaguars boasted one of the top offenses and top skill players in the conference.

But through 10 games of the 2015 season, Grambling has claimed a stake in the SWAC arms race.

“I think our kids are the best players in the conference,” Grambling coach Broderick Fobbs said Monday. “Everybody has a guy or two to three guys that can get things done. We feel we have the best in the conference.”
