Southern Preview

Southern is led by quarterback Cam’Ron McCoy who has 312 yards passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions. On the ground, Trey Holly leads all rushers with 217 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Cam Jefferson leads the receiving corps with 91 yards and one touchdown reception. Southern has scored five touchdowns on the ground and two through the air.

The Southern defense is led by defensive back Horacio Johnson, who has 12 tackles, wild defensive end Ckelby Givens has 11, and safety Treylan James has 10. Southern has a strong defense as the Jaguars have made seven quarterbacks, but Southern has not yet intercepted a pass. Southern's defense must come up big against a strong offensive group for personal state.

Fresno State Preview

Fresno's offense is powered by quarterback EJ Warner, who has thrown for 476 yards. Warner has yet to toss a touchdown pass but has been picked off five times and sacked three times. Bryson Donelson has 235 yards rushing to lead Fresno State and has scored one touchdown. Rayshon Luke has 193 yards on the ground and has scored four touchdowns. Josiah Freeman leads all receivers with 149 yards.

The Fresno State Defense is led by linebacker Jadon Pearson who has 34 tackles, while defensive back Camryn Bracha is a distant second in tackles with 16. The Bulldogs' defense has made three quarterback sacks and has intercepted three passes. Three players for Fresno State each have one quarterback sack and players have each intercepted one pass.

Southern vs Fresno State Prediction

The Bulldogs’ run game and defense will be too much for the Southern Jaguars to keep pace. Fresno State will use its tough pass rush and strong secondary to limit Southern’s passing game, allowing the Bulldogs to focus on stopping the run. Final Score Prediction: Fresno State Bulldogs win and cover ATS 42-13.
