BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Dray Joseph's two touchdown passes and a dominant defense led Southern University past Texas
Southern 34-7 in a Southwest Athletic Conference showdown Saturday.
Southern (3-3, 2-2) got off to a fast start. Following a 19-yard field goal by Matthew Hill on the team's first possession,
Terrence Clayton Jr.'s 30-yard run on Southern's next possession gave the Jaguars a 10-0 lead. Clayton finished with 57 yards
on 12 carries.

William Waddel, respectively, made the score 34-0 early in the fourth quarter.
