The Jacksonville State Gamecocks are an 8-point favorite in this Wednesday night C-USA matchup and considering the advantage their defense will have over the FIU defense, we think they do well here. Despite the in-season success the Gamecocks are having, there’s a whole lot of uncertainty at quarterback. Both Zion Webb and Logan Smothers have split starts, and head coach Rich Rodriguez is pretty unsatisfied with them both. Last week, Webb took the majority of the snaps and pulled off a win, but the whole season has been a carousel. It’s certainly shown in the numbers as well, as the Gamecocks are a lower-tiered passing team. They significantly lack explosiveness and rank 103rd in Passing Success Rate. The Gamecocks have a powerful run game, but their defense is what makes them stand out. I think they can have their way with a team that has trouble creating for itself with a freshman quarterback. Lets roll with the Gamecocks.
