Troy vs South Alabama game preview
The Trojans were impressive in their fourth game against Florida A&M, a 34-12 victory. However, it has been an otherwise dull season for them, losing all five FBS games by an average of 13 points.
For the Trojans, the leadup to the game is a bit uncertain, especially the availability of junior quarterback Goose Crowder, who suffered a head injury against the Louisiana Monroe on Sept. 28. Crowder has taken the most snaps of all QBs, throwing for 542 yards and five touchdowns on 43 of 62 pass attempts.
If he's not available, chances are that Tucker Kilcrease will start the game. As for the rushing game, junior running back Damien Taylor leads all rushers with 399 yards on 68 carries, resulting in two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, the Jaguars have only won two of six games. They saw a surge in their offense around Week 4, but in the last two weeks, they have only scored 26 points, resulting in losses to the LSU Tigers.
However, freshman quarterback Gio Lopez has done relatively well, completing 63.3% passes for 1,308 yards and 12 touchdowns with just one interception. Moreover, his ability to carry the ball himself (41 times for 258 yards, two TDs) has come in handy for the Jaguars.
Oddsmakers tout South Alabama as a clear winner by an 11-point margin.
