What you need to know about South Alabama
The Jaguars made easy work of the Southern Miss Golden Eagles last Saturday and carried off a 31-7 victory. Quarterback Jake Bentley was efficient through the air and effective on the ground as he completed 77.3 percent of his passes and rushed for a touchdown. A sixth-year senior with his third school, Bentley also threw for two touchdowns while South Alabama’s defense had a pick-six for a complete team effort.
The 31 points for the Jaguars is a good sign after the team averaged just 19.9 points per game in 2020. That ranked 113th out of 128 FBS teams and was second-worst in the Sun Belt. While 31 points is promising, South Alabama is just 1-3 all-time against teams in the Mid-American Conference.
What you need to know about Bowling Green
Meanwhile, the night started off rough for Bowling Green last Thursday, and it ended that way, too. The Falcons ended up on the wrong side of a painful 38-6 walloping at the Tennessee Volunteers’ hands. Bowling Green was down 28-6 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. QB Matt McDonald had a pretty forgettable game, passing for only 187 yards on 38 attempts.
The Week 1 loss looked like a continuation of last year when Bowling Green went 0-5 during its abbreviated schedule. The Falcons ranked second-worst in the nation in both points per game (11.4) and points allowed per game (45.0). Bowling Green will enter Saturday’s game on a nine-game losing streak with an average margin of defeat of 35.2 points.
