Can Bye Week Help Troy Get Things Going?

Going into Tuesday’s college football action, the Troy Trojans have an overall record of 1-5 and a Sun Belt Conference record of 0-2. Quarterback injuries have made it very difficult for Troy to get things going offensively of late, as they were held to just nine points by UL Monroe in their conference opener, and just 17 points against Texas State the week after. Troy is coming off of their bye week here and will hope they can regroup at the most important position on the field for this game.

South Alabama Looks to Snap Losing Streak

Things have gone sour for the South Alabama Jaguars as well, as they are 2-4 overall and 1-1 in the Sun Belt. The Jaguars have lost two straight games, getting blown out by LSU before losing for the first time in conference play against Arkansas State. After scoring 135 points over a two-game span against App State and Northwestern State, the Jaguars have scored just 13 points per game over their last two outings and they will need to find a spark offensively if they want a shot to avoid a third straight defeat.

Troy vs South Alabama Betting Prediction

In this Troy vs South Alabama matchup in the Sun Belt, look for the South Alabama Jaguars to cover the spread at home.
