Rolling with Rollins
We invite the fans out for our second installment of  Rolling with Rollins "Jaguar Walk" which will begin promptly at 3:30 p.m. Jaguar Nation lets help usher in a new era for the Jaguar football program as we begin a new tradition here on The Bluff. The team will be led by the cheerleaders as they make their way from the Southern Lab campus towards Championship Plaza before entering A.W. Mumford Stadium. 
 
Pound That Rock
The Jaguars return to A.W. Mumford Stadium where on last weekend they finished the game with 323 yards on the ground. The ground attack was led by redshirt sophomore Craig Nelson who had 134 yards on eight carries with one score. Devon Benn closed the game with 69 yards on 13 carries with two trips to the endzone. Not to leave out the 60 yards and two rushing touchdowns by Glendon McDaniel, who was chosen as the starting QB 15 minutes before kickoff.
 
Bend But Don't Break
Although the Jaguars gave up a little over 400 yards of offense to Miles College, SU was able to make the necessary stops when called on to keep the Golden Bears out of the endzone. The "Dog Day D" is led by Tamaurice Smith who had eight total tackles with two pass break-ups. Davin Cotton and Kennen Tate both finished with seven tackles and a half sack respectively.
 
There's No Place Like Home
This is game two of six that SU will play inside A.W. Mumford Stadium. The Jaguars are 18-4 at home dating back to 2015.  Head Coach Jason Rollins has his troops prepared to keep the winning tradition after capturing his first win as a head coach against Miles College.
