A look ahead after Southern’s spring football season

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana  -- Southern football coach Dawson Odums wasn’t ready to release a depth chart when spring practice ended last weekend.

There’s plenty of work to be done over the summer and in fall camp before the pecking order is transferred from pencil to ink, but nonetheless Odums has seen enough to be confident he has what he needs.

He has two inexperienced but talented quarterbacks who are pushing one another to be better every day. He has an abundance of talented runners and catchers that any opponent that tries to gang up on the run or the pass will pay a price. He has a mostly set offensive line that will enhance that balance.
