With temperatures projected to reach over 100 degrees in the weekend weather forecast, Southern University football is closing practice to the public until further notice.
The schedule change, which was announced Friday, is a safety measure implemented to ensure public safety. The Jaguars have also postponed conducting a scrimmage scheduled for Saturday's practice, which is the first of three two-a-day sessions.
Southern will continue its fall camp schedule through Aug. 15 before classes begin on Aug. 17.
