South Alabama and Georgia State Prediction
South Alabama has been more consistent offensively and holds a clear edge in the kicking game. Georgia State’s offense has been inconsistent, and its defense has allowed 40 or more points in two of the last three games. The Jaguars’ passing attack and better defense will perform well enough to win in conference play for the first time this season.
