Through their first five games, Jacksonville State has alternated wins and losses, with their last outing resulting in a 42-25 loss on the road against Southern Mississippi. The Gamecocks were able to move the ball relatively well, rushing for 262 yards as a team, but they simply couldn’t overcome four turnovers. Caden Creel led the team on the ground with 161 yards rushing and a touchdown, while Cam Cook added his own rushing touchdown.
Sam Houston returns home after a brutal three-game road trip that left them winless, being outscored 129-30. Their last game was a 37-10 loss at New Mexico State, but there’s reason for optimism, as the game was 13-10 heading into the fourth quarter. Hunter Watson was solid at quarterback, completing 64.7% of his passes for 222 yards and a touchdown. The ground game was more of a struggle, with Alton McCaskill rushing 12 times for 38 yards to lead the team.
