South Alabama and Southern Miss meet in Mobile, Alabama, on Tuesday night in a local rivalry in the Sun Belt Conference. The Jaguars haven’t had the start to the season they were hoping for, holding a 3-3 record coming into this game. Although, their 33-7 win over Oklahoma State in Stillwater looks more and more impressive by the week. Meanwhile, the Golden Eagles have also not lived up to expectations, losing their last five games after picking up their only win of the campaign in their season opener. These programs are less than 100 miles from each other, which should give us a feisty midweek contest in the Sun Belt. The key to stopping Southern Miss' attack is to be strong against the run, which is where the Jaguars have excelled this season. On the year, South Alabama ranks in the top 20 nationally in Defensive Rushing Success Rate and holds top-15 marks in Line Yards and explosiveness among non-Power 5 teams. Meanwhile, the Golden Eagles have topped this total in only two of their five games against FBS opponents. Those two teams were Texas State and Arkansas State, who are both a step down on defense compared to South Alabama. Neither team should be playing at a quick tempo either, as both teams rank outside the top 70 in seconds per play. In the previous three meetings between these teams, the under has cashed twice. Let's roll with the under here.
