Louisiana vs South Alabama Game Preview

Why South Alabama Will Win

Is Louisiana sort of mediocre now?

It lost two straight on the road to Rice and ULM with the running game getting stuffed in both and the defense getting rumbled over too easily.

Is South Alabama sort of great now?

It should’ve beaten UCLA – everything went wrong late in a 32-31 loss – and it came back to roll a not-bad Louisiana Tech last week. What’s going right?

The Jaguars are doing a nice job of controlling the clock, there aren’t enough turnovers to matter, and the run defense has been a brick wall.

Again, over the last two weeks the Ragin’ Cajun ground game hasn’t done enough, but …

NFL Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Louisiana Will Win

Louisiana is fine. It’s not the killer it’s been over the last few seasons, but it’s back home, the offensive line should be okay, and the takeaways need to come.

South Alabama might not give the ball away in bunches, but it turned it over twice against UCLA. Louisiana has only turned it over three times – the two last week against ULM were a killer – and the D has come up with 12 takeaways so far.

If they can force a few mistakes, and if the Jaguars can continue to have huge issues with penalties, that might all be just enough for Louisiana to slip on by. But …

What’s Going To Happen

South Alabama is playing too well – outside of the flags.

The front should be able to hold up against the run, the offense will be balanced, and in a year when the Sun Belt is coming up with big surprises week after week, the college football world will start to pick up this might be one of the league’s stars to watch out for.

Louisiana vs South Alabama Game Preview


Why Louisiana Will Win

Nothing has actually changed.

Seriously, Louisiana wasn’t supposed to win at Texas to start the season, and being 3-1 is right.

No, the running game hasn’t been the same devastating force of the last several seasons, but Levi Lewis and the passing attack have been good enough to pick up the slack.

On the other side, the South Alabama offensive line isn’t doing much for the running game, and it has problems keeping teams out of the backfield, but …

Week 5 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why South Alabama Will Win

The Jaguar defense gets off the field in a hurry.

The pass rush has been outstanding, but it’s the ability on third downs that’s making all of the difference. No. 1 in the nation in third down D, USA is allowing teams to convert just 19% of their chances.

No one’s running on this D, with Bowling Green gaining nine yards and Alcorn State coming up with just 32. However …

What’s Going To Happen

Louisiana’s running game isn’t like anything South Alabama has dealt with.

The Jaguars have the defensive front to keep the struggling Ragin’ Cajun ground game in check, but their offensive side won’t do enough to take advantage of the opportunities the D will create to keep this interesting.

Why South Alabama Will Win

The Jaguars might be sputtering offensively lately, but the defense hasn’t been bad. It’s not getting into the backfield enough, but overall it’s doing a nice job of not breaking after bending.

Coastal Carolina was able to rumble however it wanted to, but USA only allowed 23 points – it held up, but the O didn’t help.

The defensive front is just active enough overall against the run, the linebacking corps is solid, and getting off the field with third down stops isn’t an issue. The D has to keep the team alive because …

Week 11 Schedule, Predictions, Lines

Why Louisiana Will Win

The South Alabama O has stopped.

The ground game hasn’t hit 100 yards in each of the last two games and has yet to get past 170 yards on the season. The passing attack is okay, but it’s not explosive enough to make up for the inability to run.

Louisiana’s offense has put up over 1,000 yards combined in the last two games with the balance continuing from the start of the Sun Belt season. Combine the running game with the defense that’s taking the ball away in bunches, and there shouldn’t be an issue if the team gets up early.

CFN College Football Experts Picks

What’s Going To Happen

It’s going to be more of a grind than the Ragin’ Cajuns might like, but it’ll be a good, tough win.

South Alabama’s defense will fight the good fight, but the offense won’t be able to take advantage of its opportunities. Louisiana will get up in the first quarter and won’t lose the lead, but it’ll have to battle for a full four quarters.
