Ohio vs South Alabama Pick

Ohio showed resilience in last week’s victory, but its passing production remains limited after 2 games. South Alabama has more balance behind Davenport and a backfield featuring 3 productive runners. The Jaguars should be able to sustain drives, control possession, and force Ohio to play from behind. The Bobcats can create problems with their mobile quarterbacks, but South Alabama’s offense has displayed more consistency and big-play potential. Look for the Jaguars to establish the run before attacking Ohio through the air with Jenkins. South Alabama should pull away late and cover the number on its home field.
