The Texas Southern Tigers haven’t had the easiest schedule up to this point, so I’d be gentle when trying to figure out where they stack up. With that said, it doesn’t get easier with the Samford Bulldogs here, as this looks like a powerhouse offensive side with several guys who can take over for stretches, even if 3 of their first 4 games were against non division 1 teams. Samford is a legit contender in the Southern. I’ll lay the chalk.
