The Jaguars have shown a bit of vulnerability in the last two weeks. They were sloppy in close victories over Louisiana-Monroe and Louisiana. Troy has the offense to continue to give South Alabama’s defense problems. I'm on the road team in the Trojans.
Sun Belt Conference football is always entertaining, especially when it involves two big play offensive attacks. The Troy Trojans live and die by their passing game, which averages over 300 yards passing per game. South Alabama's offensive attack is much more balance, but still explosive nonetheless, averaging well over 460 yards per game. The Jaguars defense is a little bit better, but with 1st place in the Sun Belt West Division on the line, I expect things to get a little crazy.
The Battle for the Belt! (What Belt I have no clue) You may want to wait to see if this gets down to -2.5 and play it that way, but I'm not expecting that. South Alabama might be darn good as its only loss was by a point at excellent UCLA. USA ranks Top 30 in total offense and passing offense nationally and 21st in total defense and 12th in rushing defense. The Jags are also one of the best in the nation in creating turnovers, ranking fourth nationally in turnover margin. If it comes down to a potential winning field goal, Diego Guajardo is 9-for-9 with one winner already. Troy is definitely good, too, so this may come down to that.
