Southern University coach Dawson Odums eGxpects big season despite a new QB

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama  -- Southern University football coach Dawson Odums decided to head off the media at the pass before the first question could be posed at theSWAC media day in Birmingham, Ala., on Friday. He said not to ask him who the Jaguars starting quarterback will be when Southern opens the 2014 season against the University of Louisiana-Lafayette on Aug. 30.


Odums said as many as four players will be in the mix although at the end of spring drills it appeared freshmen Deonte Shorts and Francis Kanneh were the top two with Shorts in the lead.

But Odums has been clear since Dray Joseph threw his last pass for the Jaguars – a touchdown strike to Lee Doss for the victory in last year's SWAC Championship game against Jackson State – that whoever wins the job won't have the weight of Jaguar Nation upon their shoulders.
