All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

South Alabama vs Appalachian State Game Preview


Why South Alabama Will Win

Just one more win.

South Alabama has put together an interesting season with a strong defense that’s great against the run, good at getting off the field, and second in the conference in total D.

The style might not always be scintillating, but it’s effective.

The passing game is efficient, there aren’t a lot of mistakes, and the team controls the clock better than anyone in the Sun Belt. The team has the right blend of positives to bother Appalachian State, and now it’s just one more win away from being bowl eligible.

However …

College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 11

Why Appalachian State Will Win

Yeah, the offense has been okay, and the defense has held firm, but the success has mostly worked against the mediocre teams.

South Alabama pushed Troy, and lost. It pushed Louisiana, and lost. It plays games close and tight, but it’s not always into opening things up and taking shots down the field – there aren’t a lot of big plays.

Appalachian State’s running game is roaring, ripping through Coastal Carolina and everyone else over the last several games but Louisiana – the lone loss since the defeat to Miami early in the season.

Louisiana and Texas State were able to run well on South Alabama, and App State will, too.

NFL Expert Picks: CFN Week 10

What’s Going To Happen

Yeah, South Alabama is just one win away from bowl eligibility, but after this is a trip to Tennessee before closing out against Coastal Carolina – it needs this. It won’t get it.

Appalachian State has to keep pressing. It’s in the driver’s seat for the Sun Belt East title, but it still has to deal with Troy before closing with Georgia Southern. It’s not going to run wild on the South Alabama defense, but it’ll be effective enough to control the clock against a team that has to control the time of possession battle.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

South Alabama vs Troy Game Preview


Why South Alabama Will Win

Can the Jaguars finally put it all together to get the one win to get bowl eligible?

It’s not hard. They win when the offense is great, the lose when it isn’t.

They got through the first three games against awful teams to build up a 3-0 start, and since then when they get to 420 yards or more, they win, when they don’t they lose.

That’s going to be tough against the Troy defense, but as long as the passing game can keep things moving, the defense should be able to take care of the rest.

The Jaguars are great defensively on third downs, they’re amazing at controlling the clock, and they have to not freak out when the running game doesn’t work a lick because …

College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 10

Why Troy Will Win

Troy’s run defense is terrific, and that’s partially because the pass rush is among the best in the country. The South Alabama offensive line is good in pass protection, but it’s not good enough to deal with what’s coming.

The deadly combination of Javon Solomon and Richard Jibunor are too good and too relentless for the nation’s leading team in tackles for loss and isn’t far off in sacks.

The offense has enough balance and versatility to keep everything moving, but it’s that defensive front that has to take over right away and get the Jaguar O off the field.

NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 9

What’s Going To Happen

This should be fun.

South Alabama will throw well enough, and then the Troy defense will clamp down with that pass rush.

The South Alabama pass rush will be a killer, too.

The Trojans need to generate the takeaways that turn games around, but the Jaguars are just as good at forcing mistakes.

This will be a dead even, fun game that hangs on whose defense can do just a little bit more.

At home, Troy will get it done with one late stop.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Arkansas State vs South Alabama Game Preview


Why Arkansas State Will Win

The O will get going from the start.

The defense might not be doing a whole lot of anything, but the passing game should hit 300 yards, and the team is a wee bit rested with nine days off since pushing Louisiana way too hard in a 28-27 loss.

Layne Hatcher doesn’t throw interceptions, he’ll drive the ball down the field, and now he and the attack should be give South Alabama’s secondary all it can handle.

The Jaguar defense has been solid all year, but it’s coming off a rough day in a shootout loss to ULM – it gave up 369 yards through the air – and hasn’t played a whole slew of high-powered passing teams.

This is the most dangerous O USA has faced, but …

College Football Expert Picks, CFN Week 9

Why South Alabama Will Win

This is the worst defense South Alabama has played.

Arkansas State is dead last in America in total D, allowing 579 yards per game, and it’s not getting better.

The Red Wolves allowed 540 yards or more in every game since the opener against Central Arkansas, and now they have to deal with an effective and efficient South Alabama passing attack that’s been terrific over the last few weeks.

The Jaguar ground attack doesn’t do a whole lot, but this is the game to take the pressure off of QB Jake Bentley. The Arkansas State defensive front allowed 200 rushing yards or more in every game but the opener, and gave up over 1,200 yards on the ground over the last three outings.

College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews, Week 9

What’s Going To Happen

Arkansas State played one of its best games of the season last week against the Ragin’ Cajuns, and it should give South Alabama a hard time in a bit of a shootout.

ULM doesn’t have the most dangerous of attacks, and it went off on the Jaguars last week. However, as always, Arkansas State will put up a ton of yards and points, and its opponent will do a little bit more.

It’ll be a whole lot of fun. Arkansas State games usually are.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

South Alabama vs ULM Game Preview


Why South Alabama Will Win

Don’t turn the ball over.

ULM was able to get by Troy several weeks ago with just one takeaway, but how did it pull off one of the biggest shockers of the 2021 season against Liberty? Three takeaways, all picks.

The ULM offense is okay, but it’s not anything to worry too much about.

The team is awful at third downs on both sides of the ball, the O line gives up way too many plays in the backfield, and …

South Alabama’s defense is brilliant on third downs and defensive front comes up with a whole lot of plays in the backfield.

Week 8 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why ULM Will Win

So besides picking off Liberty QB Malik Willis, what else is ULM doing that’s able to get it to a stunning 3-3?

It really is about the turnover margin. It’s not good enough to overcome a slew of mistakes, and it doesn’t screw up enough to matter.

The offense takes advantage of almost every opportunity, the defense does a lot of bending without breaking – sometimes; there were problems against Coastal Carolina and Georgia State – and …

Week 8 College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

South Alabama should be able to do what Liberty didn’t.

The Jaguar passing game won’t make the big mistakes, the yards will be there throughout, and the ULM offense won’t be able to keep up unless it’s +3 in turnover margin – which it won’t be.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Georgia Southern vs South Alabama Game Preview


Why Georgia Southern Will Win

The South Alabama offense has been fine over the last few games, but it hasn’t been enough in tight losses to Louisiana and Texas State. The problem?

The run defense.

Great over the first three games, the Jaguar D gave up 225 yards on the ground to the Ragin’ Cajuns and 212 to the Bobcats – those were the only two times the program allowed more than 200 on the year.

Overall the defense has been great, but if the Georgia Southern ground game is in a groove, forget it.

The Eagle couldn’t get going against Troy and still almost pulled it out in a 27-24 loss. However, it’s 2-0 when it gets over 300 yards with its dynamic ground game, and …

Week 7 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why South Alabama Will Win

Georgia Southern isn’t getting to three bills on this USA D.

The Eagles are a bit more versatile than normal, but the lack of efficiency with the passing game, the inability to get moving on third downs, and a defense that’s giving up yards in chunks is just a part of the puzzle.

It’ll take a massive performance by the ground game, but South Alabama is No. 1 in the nation in third down stops, the line isn’t bad at getting into the backfield, and the offense is able to move just enough to control the time of possession.

Week 7 College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

We’re not exactly talking about the Georgia D here, but South Alabama should be strong enough on the defensive front to keep the Eagles from getting their version of the ground attack moving.

It comes down to turnovers. The Jaguars are great at taking the ball away, but the three giveaways were deadly against a Texas State team they should’ve taken down – they lost 33-31 last week.

Georgia Southern doesn’t come up enough big plays on defense to matter.

South Alabama College Football Preview 2021: Offense

There were signs last year. The offense had a few good moments when everything looked sharp and effective, but there weren’t enough of them. The O died, though, over the second half of the season and ended up scoring 17 points or fewer six times in the last nine games. The new coaching staff should fix that.

New head coach Kane Wommack is a young, talented head coach who might be more for the defensive side, but offensive coordinator Major Applewhite should be able to pump up the attack. He has the pieces to do it, starting with South Carolina/Utah transfer quarterback Jake Bentley to likely take over the offense if veteran Demond Trotter doesn’t keep the gig.

The receiving corps is potentially terrific. Junior Jalen Tolbert is a big-time playmaker, but Kawaan Baker is gone after finishing second on the team with 51 catches with eight touchdowns. Throw in 6-2 Jalen Wayne and 6-0, 200-pound Cade Sutherland join the 6-3 Tolbert as part of a very big, very good group. Now …

The offensive line has to be a whole lot better. It struggled to get the running game going and had an even harder time in pass protection. It’s going to be a new puzzle the coaching staff has to put together, but a few transfers should help the options to play around with.

Making things even tougher is the suspension of RB Carlos Davis, the team’s leading rusher with 674 yards. Junior Terrion Avery is a smallish, quick back who was second on the team with 180 yards, and 210-pound Jared Wilson will do more as the possible main man who can bring a bit more thump.

5. College Football News Preview 2020: South Alabama Jaguars Offense 3 Things To Know

The South Alabama offense needs to finally find a punch. It need a positive identity with its spread attack, and offensive coordinator Kenny Edenfield has to start coming up with ways to move the chains.

The O averaged just 330 yards and 18.4 scores per game after scoring 17 points or fewer 13 times over the two seasons under head man Steve Campbell. Everything is fine when the team scores 31 or more, but it’s been only able to do that seven times in the last two seasons, going 5-2.

South Alabama at Florida, Sept. 19
[jwplayer cHrKvSiz]


The passing game that was woefully inefficient and finished with just 1,906 yards and 14 scores with 11 picks gets back Desmond Trotter after he got his feet wet in his freshman season. With eight touchdown passes and two picks, he moved the O and pushed the ball down the field.

Backup Cephus Johnson is leaving, but Tanner McGee and JUCO transfer Chance Lovertich will get their shots.

The receiving corps should get back six of the top seven wideouts, starting with 6-1, 210-pound Kawaan Baker, who led the team with 35 catches for 574 yards and three scores. 6-3, 195-pound junior Jalen Tolbert was the most explosive receiver, averaging over 19 yards per catch with a team-high six scores on 27 catches.

Tra Minter was one of the team’s offensive bright spots with 1,057 rushing yards and five scores, but he’s gone. Backup Carlos Davis is a 205-pound sophomore who ran for 261 yards and two scores, and 220-pound Jared Wilson can pound away a bit. They’ll work behind a line that gets back four starters. This group will be strong for the ground game around 325-pound potential all-star Jacob Shoemaker.
