BATON ROUGE -- The Southern University Department of Athletics is pleased to formally announce the release of the 2005 football schedule. The 11-game schedule includes five home games to be played in AW Mumford Stadium on the SU campus, and also features five road games, and one away game in New Orleans. All five home games will be broadcast locally by Cox Sports TV, and will be picked up nationally by CSTV, giving SU SIX nationally televised games.

The Southern University Jaguars will open the season on September 3rd, by traveling to Lake Charles, LA, to take on the Cowboys of McNeese State. The Jaguars will travel to Itta Bena, MS for only the second time in the Pete Richardson era, to take on the Delta Devils of Mississippi Valley State on September 10th. The following week, the Southern Jaguars will host the 2005 home opener, as they will play the Panthers of Prairie View A&M, on September 17th. The last week of September will see the Jags host perennial SIAC powerhouse, the Rams of Albany State University.

In October, the Southern Jaguars will begin the month by facing off with one of their newest football rivals, Alabama State, in Mobile, AL, on October 1st, in the annual Gulf Coast Classic. SU will then return to AW Mumford Stadium to host three home games in the month, first by hosting the Bulldogs of Alabama A&M University for Southern University Homecoming 2005 on October 8th. The following weekend (October 15th), the Jags will host the Jackson State Tigers in Baton Rouge for the first time since 1998. Southern will then host on October 22nd, the Braves of Alcorn State University for Senior Night. SU will have its first open date on the final weekend of October.

The month of November will see the SU Jaguars on the road on the 5th, as they travel to Houston to take on the Tigers of Texas Southern University, and in the following weekend, traveling to Pine Bluff, Arkansas to take on the Golden Lions of Arkansas-Pine Bluff at Golden Lion Stadium.
