South Alabama Seeking Sixth Win On Saturday

This is as good an opportunity as South Alabama could ask for to get to six wins and bowl eligibility. The Jaguars are 5-5 overall this season and 4-2 in the Sun Belt. And while the Jaguars are still mathematically alive for the Sun Belt title game, the most important thing for them will be getting a win here to make it into bowl season. The Jags have won three of their last four games, handing Louisiana its first conference loss of the season last time out, and will look to stay hot against the worst team in their conference to secure a spot in a bowl game.

Southern Miss Looking For First FBS Victory In 2024

This season has been a nightmare for the Southern Miss Golden Eagles, plain and simple. The Golden Eagles are 1-9 overall and 0-6 in Sun Belt play, with their only win coming against an FCS foe. Here, the Golden Eagles will aim to pull off a huge upset as an underdog of more than three touchdowns, not only to get their first FBS win of the year but to deny South Alabama a sixth win of the season. But with Southern Miss ranking in the bottom-10 in FBS football in both points for and against this season, we aren't expecting that to happen.
