The South Alabama Jaguars are staring down a pretty large 15.5-point disadvantage in the spread for Saturday's matchup. They are on the road again on Saturday and play against the UCLA Bruins at 2 p.m. ET Sept. 17 at Rose Bowl.
South Alabama beat the Central Michigan Chippewas 38-24 last week. The team accrued 31 points in the first half and coasted on those for the win.
A well-balanced attack led UCLA over the Alabama State Hornets every single quarter on their way to victory last week. The Bruins claimed a resounding 45-7 victory over Alabama State at home. With UCLA ahead 31-7 at the half, the contest was all but over already. No one had a standout game offensively for UCLA, but they got scores from a handful of players including RB Keegan Jones, QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and RB TJ Harden.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 2-0. We'll see which team can carry over their success and which team inevitably falls when the Jaguars and UCLA clash.
