Mumford Stadium on Saturday, November 9, 2024. Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save Southern coach Terrence Graves said by the end of Tuesday, his team should be well on its way to correcting its biggest flaw from Saturday’s shaky five-overtime victory against Bethune-Cookman. With the possibility of clinching a division title, the Jaguars stumbled from the start, distracted by the chatter surrounding the scenario.
He doesn’t expect it to be a problem again. “They understood and got that message Saturday night after the game,” Graves said at Tuesday’s weekly news conference. “I started conveying it Saturday and talked about it yesterday again.
“We have to win the football game and we have to play the way we’re capable of. We’ve yet to play the way we’re capable for a full game. Once we do that, the rest will take care of itself.
What’s at stake and all that you can’t listen to or get caught up in that. You put undue pressure on yourself to do something other than what you need to do.” The Jaguars’ habit of sloppy play has resulted in three overtime games that have taken some of the shine off of the Jaguars' run to the top.
Southern has another game this week with huge implications. A victory at home against Arkansas-Pine Bluff .
