Southern football fell to Florida A&M 43-35 on Saturday at A.W. Mumford Stadium. Here are our takeaways from the game:

Tackle issues persist

Southern’s failures on defense were most exposed again in the fourth quarter. The Jaguars gave up three explosive touchdowns, two of which were rushing, and let the Rattlers' skill player largely go untouched to the end zone. The tackling angles taken in that period were grotesque. With the last two long scores Southern allowed, defenders looked either gassed or uninterested in giving a full effort.

Holly excels

LSU transfer Trey Holly is no doubt Southern's No. 1 running back, and his number of carries has continually grown. Without Southern's second-best running back, Mike Franklin, Holly has had back-to-back games with a season-high in carries.
