South Alabama Pregame

The Jaguars come into this game 5-5, 2-5 in the Sun Belt. This will be their first game agaisnt a P5 team this year, which I find odd, but whatever.

I'd argue the high point of their season was a 2 point loss to the Rajun Cajuns, and they did beat Lyle 31-13 a few weeks ago.

In the common opponent department, they eeked out a 3 point win against Bowling Green in week 2 of the season.

I saw we were 27 point favorites yesterday. I would think we cover. Need to have some fun and put a lot of points on the board.

 

Probably better than Vandy.

 

Their starting QB is a familiar name - Jake Bentley, who beat us at South Carolina some 20 years ago. But he’s hurt and may not be able to play

 

There's no probably to it.

 

The 6th year senior.

 

Game will get us bowl eligible, which is huge.

 

Starters out by halftime and all is well… if the first team is still out there by the end of the 3rd, that ain’t gonna be good.

 

I don't think we have enough backups to get our starters out.

 

You may very well be right…

 

In some spots, no they don't

 

Score quick and get it over with by early 3rd quarter

 

I don't think most fans realize how thin we are. Everybody that can take snaps has.

 

I would start Milton and the backup OL to give us extra rest for Vandy. That's just what I would do.

 

We don’t really have a backup OL

 

Pretty sure he's doubtful to play this weekend

 

Kind of hope Bentley plays.

 

I want to see a disgusting blowout

 

The most points I can remember being scored in Neyland is 70, so give me 71.

 

They have a strong defense (for their level of competition).

 

I think we will bring starters out in 3rd and try to run Hooker and clock. Smart. Keep the starters on the field and run Hooker.

Running clock by running starting QB and RB is smart…but ONLY if you do it that way. Coming out strong in 3rd, scoring, then Putting in backups to run clock is a bad idea.
